David Gregory's Show Retitled 1600 Pennsylvania Ave

[RamboLiberal]

First on TVNewser: Insiders tell us that as of Wednesday, David Gregory's 6pmET program, "Race for the White House" will be known as "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."

How Gregory will continue to anchor a 6pm show and be NBC's Chief White House correspondent, which usually means being available to report for Nightly News at 6:30pm, is not known.

Generally, after an election, the correspondents who've been covering the candidates end up being put on the White House beat. For NBC that would be Lee Cowan, covering Obama and Kelly O'Donnell, who's been covering McCain. O'Donnell was on White House duty before the campaign. Cowan, who joined NBC from CBS last year, is based in Chicago.

I've been hoping they'd find a more worthy replacement. And please don't give him MTP! Ugh!

4. Awww.. I was pulling for "The Road to The Shithouse"

Gee isn't it funny.. there are now whole hour long shows devoted to "keeping an eye on" the white house...too bad they weren't interested in 2001:grr:...or in 1999 during the campaign

5. Jeez lou fucking wheeze.

You SUCK Gregory.

6. Will MC Karl Rove be the new show's musical director?

David Gregory can bite me.

7. Oh, for fucksake

My fond hope is that "Stretch" will fall into a deep trough of depression after McCain loses and develop a heroin habit, so the show can be retitled Ride the White Horse with David Gregory.
