Quel Surprise! David Gregory Socializes With Liz Cheney

[Me.]

…snip…

“Liberal critics have been outraged that the TV networks give the Cheneys so much on-air real estate for their crusade.

2. America. Ain't it great? Rachel for Meet the Press.

6. I Never Watch Her Either

And didn't know about the David 'dances with Rove' Gregory connection until I read Frank Rich's piece for this week where he brings up her connections.

5. All you had to do was see Gregory's ecstatic expression

when "dancing" with Karl Rove. This is no surprise. He loves hanging out with all those disgusting people, and his "reporting" is so obviously one-side he's unwatchable.
