"We regret to report that David Gregory will be leaving Meet The Press in order to spend more time with his family." Or perhaps it will be, "David Gregory is leaving Meet The Press in order to pursue other projects."

Those are a couple of  polite corporate ways to announce the firing of the Meet The Press host with the terrible ratings. According to the New York Post's Page Six, the replacement of David Gregory could be happening right after the midterm elections. No surprise there given the fact that under Gregory, Meet The Press has fallen to last place in the broadcast television Sunday interview shows. Also not surprising is that NBC is planning on replacing liberal Gregory with equally liberal Chuck Todd or Savannah Guthrie according to the Page Six report:

Huevos rancheros, Howdy Doody you ginger freak.

[VRWC For Truth]

It’s the message, not the messenger.

So have I. In fact, I voted for him for President in 1968 when I was a hippie.

[Night Hides Not]

Really, who watches this show outside of the DC cocktail set?

Really, who watches any Sunday show outside of the DC cocktail set?

I never saw him be cordial to a Republican.

For a program such as Meet The Press, the removal of the likes of Gregory is colloquially known as rearranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic.

He'll be a regular panel member on Morning Joe.

"We regret to report that David Gregory will be leaving Meet The Press in order to spend more time with his family." Or perhaps it will be, "David Gregory is leaving Meet The Press in order to pursue other projects."

Well, both those do sound a bit better than the truth, e.g.:

We regret to report that David Gregory will be leaving Meet The Press due to his abject incompetence and his startling inability to attract and hold any kind of audience.

or

We regret to report that David Gregory will be leaving Meet The Press in order to undergo a badly-needed personality transplant.

[ozzymandus]

Is he leaving because he’s crazy, or because his ratings are low?

[catnipman]

I don’t think David Gregory has too much to worry about. After all, he’s already bee made immortal by having his picture next to “smirk” and “smarmy” in every online dictionary on the Internet.

"We regret to report that David Gregory will be leaving Meet The Press in order to spend more time with his family."

Too many sick and crippled kids on his street lately. David needs to keep an eye on his Gran Torino...

[advertising guy]

he will get Carney’s job at some point to add government cred to his resume’

[MIchaelTArchangel]

David Who?
