16. Yeah, he's a bit of a disappointment. I use to hold him in fairly high regard for at least trying
to get * to actually answer a question...Not so much anymore..

4. I have to admit, I almost did that the other day
And I was really mortified. Stupid Microsoft Office keeps trying to correct "Obama" to "Osama"...I wrote a note on their website asking them to update their spellcheck.

10. Ron Burgundy?
Perhaps Gregory is about as spontaneous as Burgundy in Anchorman and just lip syncs whatever is on the prompter?

14. Just add "Obama" to your spellchecker's dictionary.
That'll solve the problem. Run a spellcheck on "Obama," and there'll be an "Add to Dictionary" prompt.

7. my grandfather did it by accident the other day, and he's an Obamacan
Edited on Thu Jul-10-08 05:36 PM by ErinBerin84
He was talking about how he secretly has to be an Obama fan because none of his friends would talk to him if they knew (I know, it's sad. He says that he's never regretted anything more than his votes for Bush). His RW friends send him the "Obama is a Muslim" emails all of the time, and my grandmother said that he got furious over one email and got out his Bible and wrote an angry reply, and didn't want to talk to my grandmother about it...lol. He's not even a very religious person, but I love him for that. Anyways, he said "All of the media wants to talk about how Osama Bin Laden has no experience, but it's not as if these presidents don't have advisors and departments to help them out". And I said "Uh...you mean Obama?" I'll give him a pass bc he's old. I feel like David Gregory gets an extra free meal from Jack Welsh when he says it.

Apologize or excuse himself for himself for screwing up?

12. Nope - He'd just done a whole segment about Obama apologising for misspeaking and
Edited on Thu Jul-10-08 05:56 PM by cliffordu
McCain's people (Graham) not doing it.

Pretty funny, actually, a segment on apologies....he was on his way into a break so did not have to address it coming back....No apology there...

13. If they can suspend Schuster for saying Chelsea was being pimped out ...
... they can suspend these assholes who keep saying "Osama" on the air when talking about Obama.

I'm guessing if Tweety or David had to spend a week watching someone else run their shows, they'd be able to keep from slipping like that.

17. Seriously.
Edited on Thu Jul-10-08 07:07 PM by Phx_Dem
Which is worse, being compared to a prostitute or a terrorist?

Send a letter of complaint. If David isn't professional enough not to repeatedly confuse a U.S. Presidential candidate with a terrorist and/or not disciplined enough to control his mouth, maybe he shouldn't have his own show. And forget about replacing Russert.
