7. Right...I guess he's had a lot of practice dealing with non-
answers as a White House correspondent. That has to rankle someone with brains -- and Gregory's smart and prepared.

Can you imagine Tweety rocking Fund with that detailed analysis of the differences between Frist and Bush on stem cells?

Gregory rocks! It's so refreshing to see someone smart, even-handed, and that does his homework! This is what a TV journalist can and should be.

4. He was fabulous interviewing Jean Schmidt
He's a tough journalist -- he deserves his own show! David Gregory rocks!

10. I think when they start doing that -- just spouting talking points
not responding to a specific question, or refusing to shut up, the journalist should just say: "Obviously you don't want to respond to my questions, so I'm terminating this interview."

8. Yea, why didn't they give one to him instead of Rita Cosby?
I never heard her, and I guess I will reserve my opinion until at least after her first show, but David already works for MSNBC, they HAVE to know people like him, and he seems to enjoy doing the shows!

Of course, I'm taking about the idiots who hired Tucker Carlson after he was kicked of every show he's ever done, so what am I thinking?

5. I sent an email to MSNBC after he hosted Hardball asking that he
be made the permanent host. I doubt they'd can matthews in favor of Gregory, but between beady-eyed joe, lil tuckie and rita whatshername, they should be able to make room for Gregory. He rocks.

Sending them lots of emails on giving David his own show can't hurt. ;-)

15. O'Donnell or Gregory would be fine with me.
Come to think of it, Ariana Huffington would be fine by me too. There are lots of good choices. Instead they give us crap (with the exception of Keith, of course!).

16. Just emailed-hardball@msnbc.com
"I would love to see more of David Gregory. He's fair, and gives everyone equal time. In case you haven't noticed, the days of shilling for this corrupt administration are coming to an end."


ha-that felt good!
