So when did David Gregory end up becoming such a dick?

[angie_love]

Anyone ever hear him criticize McGramps once? Right now hes asking Timmy, hasn't McCain gotten over all this negative stuff out of the way early, including Hagee...who will make the strongest VP choice for him...

But whenever it comes to Obama..."But why did Obama sit in his church for 20 years, i mean its a huge issue..don't you think its going to hurt him come November?"

freakin dick.

2. I think on the whole Gregory is pretty fair....

maybe he has a wee bit of a man-crush on gramps like Tweety does? :shrug:

9. I agree with you....

..taken big picture wise he's probably closer to good than he is to bad. But he does have his moments of "what the hell is he doing?" as well.

3. It's an analysis--albeit one we might disagree with.

Actually, I was thinking something pretty similar earlier today when I saw the Hagee stuff. McCain is wisely getting the nuts off his farm early in the election cycle. I was more worried than Gregory that we might not have that to smear him with, but then I don't pretend to objectivity.

It doesn't make a journalist dickish to report something you don't want to hear.

4. ..

he's always been a dickwad imo....

but i'd bet his ratings are far better than the Tuckwads were...
(because of Rachel...imo...)

5. Gregory is on the General Electric dole. Read my Wag the Election journals.

He is one of the guys who dispenses the corporate propaganda for the GE News Network (MSNBC).

6. I was expecting better from Gregory... he was one of the few that held

the President's and the White House press secretary's feet to the fire occasionally over the past couple years in White House briefings.

Not that standing out from that herd of sheep that's called the "White House Press Corps" is anything to brag about... bunch of cowardly,careless,and lazy enablers.

7. One thing that's just funny to me

is that people justify the comparison to Wright being a worse situation than Parsley and Hagee as a way to "get out" of offering anything but a superficial analysis of what the effects on McCain's campaign could be. I mean, can't we even pretend to evaluate the McCain situation independently? McCain rejected the remarks, but said he was "happy to have the endorsement", until he decided that people were noticing. How will this affect the way the religious right regards him? Will his previous statement about how people should not pander to the religious right versus his current blantant attempts to court the religious right in these instances (I honestly regard most of the religious right as wackos, but these seem like particularly bad choices for the McCain camp to make if he were to pull anyone from the religious right as a means to pander) be used as an example of increasing hypocrisy that counter his image as a maverick? Will this affect his VP choice now that he may have pissed off the religious right, maybe provoking him to consider someone who has pull with evangelicals like Huckabee? Nahhhh. It's just appropriate to say that this is a much better situation for McCain than Wright was for Obama, and good for him for "cleaning house!"


I thought that David Gregory was going to maybe "go there" on his show yesterday, because he said "It's funny. Hagee has said controversial things like this before, but it was only when McCain was courting Jewish voters that he thought it appropriate to reject the endorsement." But then he completely backtracked and said "Don't get me wrong. I in no way think that this reflects on his character or integrity, I just think it's funny. That's all. I don't mean what I say. Never mind" (Ok, this obviously was not exactly what he said, but pretty much).

The thing that most bothers me about Gregory is that he asks the questions he should be asking to the Democrats on the panel to the Republicans, and asks the Democrats the dumber questions .

8. He's always been an asshole in my opinion

[TexanDem]

10. Every time I hear Gregory, I have to check to be sure I'm not on Faux News! I can't watch him.

[Doctor_J]

12. He used to be pretty fair, but GE eithered bribed or threatened him

and now he is part of the McCain campaign team.

13. Like, since he got his own show.

I liked him better when only Dubya thought Gregory was a dick...

I'm a little tired of his Pastor Wright fixation. Maybe he'll get over it now.
