When Did David Gregory Turn Into An Asshole?

[chitty]

His headline tonight.............

Is Barack Obama Turning Into This Years Michael Dukakis?

What an asshole!!!!!!!

[uponit7771]

1. I never thought the guy was on top of it, he didn't seem like a person of the Cafferty or Dobbs ...

...caliber so it's no surprise to me he sensationalizes

[chimpymustgo]

64. DG didn't drink the Kool-ade. You'll survive. There are still a few honest journalists out there.

[book_worm]

2. when he started hosting this election show of his.

[butterfly77]

3. When he realized that Obama was going to be the president...

[KoKo]

62. When he Danced with Karl Rove at Press Corps Dinner....

after Bush had paid him off.. :eyes:

[rug]

4. David Gregory is dead to me.

[LSparkle]

5. When he *danced* with "MC Rove" he lost me

Just another D.C. status quo asskisser now ... He used to have a spine when
he was in the WH press corps but he's become a big limp noodle.

[moondust]

23. Bingo!

[hisownpetard]

25. For me, too.

[myrna minx]

32. I was stunned when i saw that too. n/t

[WinkyDink]

36. That was his defining moment. Absolutely.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

57. That was the obvious nail-head sealer.....

But, he had been nestled all cozy and toasty for a year before that in the *, cheney pocket.

[Kool Kitty]

72. Yep.

I love Rachel, but she can't even save this show for me. And I would like to hit Scarborough with a 2 x 4.

[hatrack]

6. Could it be after dancing with Rove at the Correspondents' Dinner?

If that doesn't function as an Asshole Transfusion, I don't know what would.

[AlinPA]

7. The night he danced with Karl Rove.

[shugah]

8. around the time he started dancing with rove n/t

[PA Democrat]

9. Well, there was that rap number he performed "MC Rove" with Karl Rove

at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Dinner.

[TheDonkey]

10. His show has been a major dissappointment. It is like Crossfire except with more colors

just exploitative, sensational, fluff.

[LSparkle]

35. He totally defers to Morning *Latte* Scabrous ... interrupting others

to let Dead Intern get a comment in when he's already had his say. It's
especially galling when Dead Intern already has an MSNBC show of his own
on which to spew his bile, and yet he seems to be on Gregory's panel every
other day (if not more frequently). I was hoping when Rachel Maddow was
made a regular guest that she'd get decent time but he seems to be shutting
her out as often as possible. (Is he jealous of her regular appearances
on "Countdown"?)

[morningglory]

55. Crossfire with Scarborough. n/t

[DearAbby]

11. Why would he say such a thing

did he elaborate in anyway?

[smalll]

16. Um, Bittergate probably has something to do with it.

Just a wild guess there. :shrug:

[DearAbby]

21. Is Gregory claiming Americans are not angry

or bitter? I believe Gregory is trying to whip the dead horse...ratings and all that? Is it okay to call him a whore?

[napi21]

20. He's not the first talking head to say that. I've heard it on several

other TV shows and at least 2 radio shows as well...and I don't listen to RW radio either!

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

12. when he danced with MC Rove? seriously Rachel Maddow should have her own show

I would love that!

[BlooInBloo]

13. People get these good feelings about people based on only 1 or 2 good stories...

... or based on the fact that they're "not as bad" as some others. Gregory hasn't changed; the dissonance is because of your expectations.

[Vinca]

14. He's been kind of an asshole ever since his show started.

I used to think he was leaning Republican just to keep a seat on Air Force One - now I don't know what to think.

[VenusRising]

29. This was going to be my answer.

At least I am not alone in thinking this. ;)

[Zodiak]

46. No, honey, he is an ass

I've watched his show, too, and it is just another vehicle for Scarborough to spew his bile.

[VenusRising]

48. LOL!

:loveya::hug:

[woolldog]

15. I don't watch that show.

It's terrible, no matter what candidate you support. It encapsulates what's wrong with this country's media. The whole election is like a game to them; the discussion is shallow and focuses on tabloid type journalism, instead of issues, the pundits are old hacks who everyone's sick of....

[my3boyz]

17. He has always been an asshole. The other gray haired guy that does

the maps on election night on CNN is just like him.

[woolldog]

37. Jon King?

Oh I hate that guy too.

[my3boyz]

40. Yes...that is who I'm talking about. I could not remember his name. LOL

[liberaldem4ever]

67. Jon King said he was getting married

Dana Bash I think is her name. She is a political correspondent on CNN too. What a couple....:eyes:

[graycem]

18. Back when he joined W's

White House cheerleading squad.

[sniffa]

19. He's just reporting

This is what is being pushed by some "unnamed sources" - and what was reported on Politico. It's aimed at the SD's more than anything, and some "unnamed candidate" really wants this angle pushed.

[depakid]

22. He may well be prescient

not to say that dancing with Rove doesn't indicate that he may also be an asshole....

[TahitiNut]

24. He inherited Tucker's production staff, for krissakes.

Let's try REALLY hard to think more deeply than a light dew, huh? The on-screen 'talent' is the tip of the iceberg ... and the 'show' is produced and written by a production and editorial staff. Only the 'talent' with CLOUT will get editorial control of their programs in their contract. Olbermann seems to have it ... and Tweety. Gregory clearly does not. He was the White House correspondent who was 'promoted' to his own (inherited) show - replacing Tucker. He does NOT have the experience and background to take control of the tone and tenor of his show. Not yet.

[woolldog]

45. Tucker actually had a decent show.

Gregory is just pure tabloid garbage, with nice graphics.

[chitty]

26. Now Joe S. is trying

to say these were racist or bigoted comments?

And that Obama will hear plenty of this if he is the nominee.

WTF.

[endarkenment]

27. The MSM's job is to assassinate the Democratic candidate.

They have engaged in this mission without fail and with total abandon ever since McGovern. They have not always been successful, but that has not been for lack of effort.

[RememberWellstone]

28. Obama is doing this to himself.

David Gregory is just reading what is given to him.

[chitty]

31. Hmmm Sure........

Why aren't they showing that wonderful clip of Hillary explaining Bill's involvement with the Columbian deal 27/7.

That should have deep sixed her for good, but the MSM didn't care for that one for some reason.

[RememberWellstone]

38. Why should they?

It does'nt affect the "average" American. This is playing heavily because it affects "average" Americans. You don't shit where you need to eat.

[chitty]

42. The only way this will

effect the average American is if McCain wins because Hillary is shoving this strawman down everyone's throat.

[valerief]

30. When was he not one? Mr. Today Show. Retch! nt

[angie_love]

33. Davids in the McCain tank. He praises him regularly

[southern_belle]

34. Seems like it's been in him a long time -

he's just a natural at it. :shrug:

[Kaylee]

39. What a loaded question....and that is supposed to pass for journalism.

[npincus]

41. Oh, fuck him!

And his show SUCKS.

[MadBadger]

43. Rachel is really going to bat for Obama here.

[2rth2pwr]

44. The exact millisecond that he criticizes "The One"

[zalinda]

50. You got that right

Wasn't he a hero a few weeks ago because he put down Clinton?

zalinda

[mtnester]

63. . . .

[jillan]

47. The only thing about Greogory's show - is that his panel represents

all sides. He has Rachel on there today who is defending Obama.

[Tribetime]

49. turn him off watch Olbermann

People are sick of what's going on in this country, they're(msm) the ones who don't feel the pulse of America. I guarantee you, Obama will win.

[Hoof Hearted]

51. Truth HURTS don't it?

Actually it's not the truth. He's passed up Dukakis a while ago and is on his way to McGovern. He'll have them both looking like viable candidates in no time.

[Tribetime]

52. lmao

[redstate_democrat]

58. So what does that say about Hillary then?

She must be an extremely WEAK candidate if she get mop the floor with a guy like that.


:eyes:

[rcsl1998]

53. Are You Referring To 'Stretch' ??? Say No More...

[doc03]

54. Soon as he said something negative

about St. Obama.

[Catherine Vincent]

56. David Gregory is dead to me now!

:)

[krawhitham]

59. at birth

[tigervalentine]

60. That's about the third time I've heard the Dukakis comparison,

and not just from DG, in the past two or three days. You'd think BHO's charm had just evaporated.

Except for the intelligence--and maybe the eyebrows--I can't understand the comparison at all. But it's out there--and we'll be hearing more.

Wonder who started it?

[Tribetime]

61. its from hanging around other assholes like scarborough

[Roxy66]

65. MC Rove and Gregturdy....need to go F*ck themselves!!

[Straight Shooter]

66. When bush told him he was looking "particularly beautiful today" at a press conference.

I swear, it happened. OMFG. That kind of compliment from bush is like having Satan shove his forked tongue down your throat.

[stillcool]

68. Just following the script...

I don't watch so I suppose I shouldn't comment, but from what I'm reading it's the only news thats fit to report.

[cbayer]

69. Who is David Gregory?

I think I miss a lot because I only watch PBS and listen to NPR (except for Jeopardy and LOST). I am assuming he is one of these MSM pundits that y'all talk about all the time.

I don't understand why or how they got to be so important. Could you explain it to me?

[truebrit71]

70. Don't have the initial date but he's had a man-crush on the giggling war-criminal in the WH..

...for a very long time...

[anAustralianobserver]

71. That show is like a scene from 'Idiocracy' haha. The guitars

at the beginning remind me of 'Rehabilitation'. Hopefully having all those guest windows open on the same screen will crash their computers.
