David Gregory, I Revoke My Proxy
The Post Chronicle ^ | 2/21/06 | Randall H. Nunn

Posted on 02/21/2006 6:57:47 AM PST by RepublicNewbie

On "Meet the Press" this past Sunday, NBC reporter David Gregory, after making a half-hearted apology for his poor conduct in arguing with the White House Press Secretary about the Cheney hunting accident, stated that the White House press corps is "a proxy for the American people." After exhibiting his rude behavior, poor analysis and lack of professionalism, Mr. Gregory then displays his arrogance and pomposity by taking on the role of "proxy for the American people." After seeing Mr. Gregory in all his glory, I hereby revoke my proxy and will give it someone who can better represent my interests.

Although David Gregory said he regretted his performance earlier in the week at a White House press briefing, he promptly went on to show the level of his dislike for Vice President Cheney and the Bush administration by stating that the way communication of the hunting accident was handled by Vice President Cheney is "emblematic of the rather secretive style with the press by the vice president."

You are certainly Maggie-on-the-spot! Freeper responders never fail to amaze me.

The resemblance IS uncanny, isn't it.

Too bad that big flower Mary is wearing isn't one of those gag water squirter things......she looks like she's ready to grab the squeezer and fire away.

And Mary's aim is always accurate as we all know.

A little clarification needed on your quote.

Mr. Gregory is just following the Dan Rather & Sam Donaldson mold where the rudest person to the Republican president is the king....

Democrats seem net to get that treatment from guys like Gregory. I wonder why?

Remember the guy from Investors Business Daily who got the boot from the WH press corps for simply asking Clinton at a social function when his next press conference would be? Bad form to ask a question like that if the Prez is a Democrat, I guess. And I sure don't remember any our "proxies" from the MSM defending him.

Hey, vn! I agree with you. The very nerve of Gregory thinking he's my 'proxy' vote! I relinquish, too. Get someone with a brain!

Mr. Gregory, you don't have a proxy to revoke.
