David Gregory on NBC Today: Terror Plot arrest will boost B*sh

[npincus]

in the polls, B*sh gets a boost when topic shifts to 'war on terror' from war in Iraq.

(Don't shoot the messenger)

1. Bet'l be as big as the bounce when they killed Zarqawi ...

look out Zogby!

[Hubert Flottz]

2. David Gregory is bucking for Tweety's job...

Jack Welch's adopted boy!

[DainBramaged]

3. Ever since he apologized for his little dust up with Scottie

he's nothing more than a pussy boy now, no guts, they reigned his ass in and shut him down. Only Timmy can ask the tough questions.

[Hubert Flottz]

4. You're right...

He's a total Karl Rove Tool now!

[bluedog]

14. see what kissing up to the GOP does for you

he use to be a real hard line reporter....asking hard questions of SCOTTY........BUT SEEMS since Snow took over David has been kissing ass................

well I lost all respect for him..when he soft balls Republican guests on a show and hardballs the Democrats

[WinkyDink]

11. And to think I used to like him. I'm tired of the continual

disillusionment. I'm clinging to the hope that John King is still unbiased, but I've read some DU'ers who dislike him, too.

Sigh........

5. I will be SO happy when we get a true leader who does NOT get a

"boost" from "terror plots," who isn't fucking HAPPY when people get blown up or threatened to be blown up, who doesn't calculate what murder and mayhem can do for HIM. These pigs (* cronies) are traitors and should be dealt with accordingly.

[Neecy]

6. this is why....

We need to tie the 'war of terror' (I still refuse to believe this is a valid phrase) with the failed war in Iraq in every single breath. You saw Democrats yesterday doing this effectively.

A huge amount of resources, intelligence, manpower, etc are being pissed away in George Bush's pet war. Our eye is off the ball and if any of these threats succeed the failure will be squarely at Bush's feet - and the Republican rubber stamp congress and Vichy Dems like Lieberman.

It seems hard to believe Bush would get ANY bounce from this, since it's so easy to transition from this 'threat' to Iraq. The media won't do it but I'm sure the Democratic leadership will.

7. Are we safe yet? Looks like the terrorist are thriving to me.

[jayfish]

8. What A Fracking Moran.

They didn't know shite about this plot until yesterday and they are going to get a boost? of course they fail to mention that part in the breathless coverage of "carnage on an unimaginable scale". Arsehole...

9. BUSH DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT ATTENTION-WHORE!

The UK cracked this one, not BushCo. WTF?

[rock]

10. Why his approval may get up to 38%!

"up to" (chortle)

[UTUSN]

12. Funny how the Brits thanked Pakistan, NOT the U.S. n/t

[WI_DEM]

13. that is the WH line--but I'm not sure it will work this time, if he does

get a boost it will be temporary and it will not be impressive.

[paulk]

15. it probably will, since the MSM official line on this

will completely ignore the failure of Bush's "war on terrorism" and call this a success, completely forgetting to mention that out govt. had nothing to do with thwarting this attack.
