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.
Well, who among us hasn't crossed that fine line between "relaxed" and "utterly shitfaced"?
David Gregory translates into Jeezami Plowdundah.
Who cares about the truth, its the PERCEPTION that really matters!
This plick, Gregory thought he was in China.
Very strange.
Seems like Imus was rushing him off the air to avoid Gregory an embarrasment. I only have the transcript and didn't hear Gregory speak . . . but of course Imus did. This tells me a lot - Imus, like most any adults, knows an intoxicated person when he hears one. Yes, I know Imus has had his own substance abuse problems, but I don;t even want to go there.
Thanks! I'll check it out.
I think he's probably salaried, so should salaried personnel traveling abroad, never get to relax? Imus didn't have to play it on the air did he? It said he called Imus, it didn't say if it was a formal interview or not.

Thanks, I'm stealing that!
Did you do that? I did the vid clip to that music, just because I dislike him sooooooo much.
It does to many people I know.
Use it... I hate that motherfu_ker.
You either know a lot of teenage girls or a bunch of lightweight adults.
Combined with travel fatigue, and jet lag, alcohol effects many people differently.
Schadenfreude. Pure and simple.
This guy thinks he's James Bond, stirred not shaken, but
in realty this POS probably ordered a Teddy Special
Double Scotch on the rocks, hold the twist but I will take the lap dance.
He's a nitwit.
