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.
I ahd heard that POS with a mouth was going to be on IMUS. I would rather looks at Hillary.
Every now and then, Imus and I are on the same wavelength.
He was arrested in the 1980's for urinating in a phone booth while both drunk and high.
It was probably the noxious fumes from the Bombay Duck.
You have sympathy for David Gregory???????????????????
A few drinks before dinner doesn't give you the giggles. I haven't listened to the audiotape yet, but I honestly can't believe this behavior is the result of liquor.
This isn't the 'Golden Age' of White House reporting.
Why doesn't NBC just fire this jerk?
Either they don't think he hurts their image as a repsonsible news source or they just pain hate Bush's guts.
Yeah, whenever he was STINKING DRUNK!
and that's what was going on.
Uh huh. Just like in the movie.

He just wants his Mommy... |
They do hate Bush but now their reporter is becoming the story. Time for action on NBC's part.
NOTHING WILL COME OUT OF THIS. Imus LOVES Gregory.
Daves welcome to have another snort, log on to FR and defend himself. :) I'm sure he'd like the reception.
You mean you're not supposed to post drunk? Wow, I'm in trouble.
It's OK as long as you know what can happen.
FR has a long memory.
"I haven't listened to the audiotape yet, but I honestly can't believe this behavior is the result of liquor."
They probably have some pretty good hashish parlors in India.
Where is A+Bert when you need him?
