GREGORY'S GIGGLES: NBCNEWS WHITE HOUSE REPORTER CALLS SHOW 'DRUNK' Thu Mar 02 2006 08:52:09 ET
NBC White House correspondent David Gregory, who apologized last week for calling White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan a "jerk," called into MSNBC's IMUS Thursday morning -- apparently drunk!
Gregory is traveling with the president in India.
IMUS: Let's go to the White House correspondent David Gregory.
DAVID GREGORY: I'm OK.
IMUS: You can calls us later if you want.
GREGORY: [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter]
IMUS: Are you drunk?
GREGORY: [Laughter] [Laughter]
IMUS: Are you all right David?
GREGORY: India is a wonderful language and i've been learning, where's my little sheet here. I've been learning some new phrases to come home. But any way, that being one of them and i just think it's nice.
IMUS: It is.
GREGORY: Thank you.
IMUS: Having a lot of fun there. What's wrong with you?
GREGORY: I just think it's funny. [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter]
CHARLES: He's drunk.
IMUS: He is drunk!
CHARLES: Oh god.
IMUS: Why don't you compose yourself and get back to us. You want to?
GREGORY: [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter]
IMUS: What are you in some harrem?
IMUS: What? David?
GREGORY: No, i'm fine.
IMUS: We need a camera.
Oh my lord.
IMUS: Somebody's got --
GREGORY: i was -- remember that movie "Arthur" with Dudley Moore where he just thinks funny things and that's what was going on. If i could find this sheet, actually i just found it. Anyway.
IMUS: You have any news? [Laughter]
IMUS: we got to go, we'll get back to you.
GREGORY: I'm sorry.
IMUS: That's all right.
IMUS: Well, call us back will you?
GREGORY: Anyway. There are serious things going on here which i know you're very interested in.
IMUS: We don't have any time for them now. Quickly.
GREGORY: Big deal between India and the United States. The upshot is we're going to provide nuclear know-how and fuel to india which they need for their economy to grow. But since they never signed the nonproliferation treaty it's a real turn around and critics worry that it sends the wrong message to other parts of the world.
IMUS: Ok.
GREGORY: I would add, i would add that this is how you say thank you.
IMUS: What is it again?
[Speaking foreign language]
IMUS: Well that's great. But we have to go. It's always nice to hear from you.
GREGORY: I'll call you after dinner.
IMUS: NBC Chief White House Correspondant from New Delhi, India. Clearly drunk.
Maybe with the time change, it's 4:20 in India.
I hate to say this but i have been clean and sober for almosrt 5 years im just stupid
Sounds like they've got some really good coke in India.
Headlines of the future: David Gregory checks into Betty Ford Clinic.
Seriously, I would like to know who allowed this idiot to go on this trip. Is it a WH decision or the networks?
Thanks Indcons! I had dinner with a semi-retired Major and his wife tonight. We were discussing this and he said he did not think he was drunk, but high. He said hash would make him laugh like this. This pig needs to be removed from the WH press corps, IMO.
HE, who? Gregory or Imus????
If I were a GE stockholder...
Are the shareholders so rich they can throw their money away?
LOL. Don't say that, now I feel like an ass. It was late at night, past your bedtime...
Takes more than that I´¨m still not convinced that was alcohol.
___________
a. He just ate some Indian food which is pretty spicy and drank too much trying to cool his mouth off.
b. He is high on drugs.
c. He is calling from a whore house.
d. a, b, and c apply.
e. he is just a dumba$$.
More left wing talking points disguised as "journalism" by the "objective" MSM. Yeah, right.
-PJ
Maybe the White House should just serve brownies to the Press Corps.;^)
Thanks for the ping!
I no speling woodn't be won of the sines.
Yeah, thaaats the ticket.
You remember correctly...that was the same little putz.
Imagine if Dan Quayle or W had said something like that. I understand why he was drunk, he thinks that's the way to get invited to go hunting with Dick Cheney.
I'm not right often, so I'm going to brag on this one. See my 218. Drudge has egg on his face for jumping the gun on this "nothing" story.
He was stoned on some local product. Seen it before.
