They remind me of a few of the kids I grew up with. During recess, most of us boys would play football. While the teacher monitored the recess behavior, she was usually accompanied by a few girls, who would ring the bell to let everyone know recess was over. David Gregory comes across a one of the boys who would hang with teacher. A big wuss, though-and-though.

The reporters at the White House are nothing mre than hysterical girly men.
(To paraphrase another FReeper from yesterday)
Does anyone honestly think that if the WH were to shut down the press conference room, convert it to office space, and kick the media off the grounds that the MSM coverage could possibly be even more inaccurate, slanted, and confrotational? Screw them. Have the press office post a daily release on the WH website. If the media want a story, let 'em sniff it out themselves. I'll end up taking it with many grains of salt anyway, given the source.
You need to realize that since Ari Fleischer left that you are not dealing with the varsity in the White House press office or Communications Office.
Last year the amateurs let this same gaggle of immature media children, led by head whiner David Blow-dry Gregory, make a National Guard non-story into one that almost lost the election. A big reason that the Iraq war is losing popular support is that the White House spokesmen have done a terrible job in advancing the cause, letting the clowns in the press zoo carry the story line and define the agenda.
Maybe they are just trying to be nice so that they can get a big media job after their White House days.
Sometimes you have to forget about loyalty and remove the incompetents. Can you imagine a Lee Atwater putting up with this stuff?
LOL the Army wouldn't even trust this guy with a magazine for his little plastic rifle.
Top Ten Reasons It is Still Safer to Go Hunting with Dick Cheney than to Ride in a Car with Ted Kennedy
10. The Vice President doesn't need to sober up before calling for help.
9. The Vice President travels with a medical team rather than a scandal sanitation squad.
8. Vice President Cheney does not have delusional Presidential aspirations to cloud his judgment in a crisis.
7. Hunting with the VP doesn't involve navigating any dangerous bridges.
6. As the victim of an accident involving a Republican, your name will actually be reported on CNN and CBS news.
5. Cheney - Number 8 Bird Shot; Kennedy - 8 shots of Wild Turkey.
4. You don't have to wait for Cheney to concoct an alibi before help arrives.
3. If there is an accident, Cheney will attempt to save your life rather than his political career.
2. You will be able to tell your children and grandchildren about hunting with the Vice Presdient years later.
And the Number ONE reason It is Still Safer to Go Hunting with Dick Cheney than to Ride in a Car with Ted Kennedy:
1. If Vice President Cheney makes a statement regarding Gun Safety, reporters will actually be able to ask you for a comment.
Memo to Scott: Use their NAMES and affiliations when they ask these stupid questions, or else the public have no idea who these people are.
Let the Lamestream Media overdo their reaction. It's good for us, actually. GWB and Big Dick Cheney come across as Real Men, unlike the girly men and manly women who infest the ranks of the 'Rats.
The more these media hacks make a big deal about this hunting accident, the more it becomes obvious what the media's agendum is: Attack the Bush White House on any issue, no matter how trivial.
The mediots are a gaggle of attention freaks.
The MSM is only interested in posing for the cameras. The are as valid and intelligent as the illiterates of the arab street who are jumping up and down for the cameras.
I think if NBC, CBS, and NBC went 100% off the air, democrats would be devastated with the sudden increase in inteligence of the population.
Gregory is a rude hothead
Here is an excerpt of David Gregory's comment to one of his guests in 1999, when the guest mentions Juanita Broaddrick's rape charges against our former President, Bill Clinton:
"Now hold on. ...Gregory is the jerk.
I’m not going to let you go there.
We are not talking about this today.
We’re not going to turn that into this....
Cliff, I’m going to stop you.
I’m hosting the program.
It is not a double standard.
We have a clear focus today.
I’m asking the questions."
That's right - the podium is only for receiving personal shots. Who does this Scott McClellan think he is defending himself like that. /sarc

For the life of me I can't understand where the administration got McClellan. I don't know what his background is but he sucks at putting the administration in a favorable light.
He appears to be a fill-in or an understudy while the pro is on leave. He doesn't have a commanding presence. He doesn't seem able to speak off script, something akin to Sean Hanni.
I wander if he's one of Poppy's adopted something or other ;-)
some of these people, when I run into them in real life some day, are gonna go down in one punch.
Gregory is on my list.
For example, what do you suppose Mark Levin would say to Dee Dee Myers if we were say...in 1999...and speaking about Al Gore..and Myers had said that to him?
At least Cheney dove into the water to save his victim.
David Gregory has replaced Terry Moran as 'the human I most hate.'
