I heard the phone call and it sounded like he was having a laughing fit rather than being drunk. After he was able to compose himself he delivered his report without stumbing or slurring his words. It would be hard to do that if he were plastered.

Oh.

He was taken out of context.

Let me get President Bush's take on it.

It would be hard to do that if he were drunk, not if he were high.

Who cares about the truth, its the PERCEPTION that really matters!

[Another Thought]

Agree. I don't think he was drunk, unless you mean drunk on his own personna. If you listen to the IMUS show they practically bow at his feet. I think he was just being cutesy. Drudge will be lambasted for taking the whole thing out of context. But it will be fun to see Gregory get a little of his own medicine!

Speculation is that he was high - maybe pot? (see above). That would account for the giggliness. Like wow, man. (giggle, giggle)

How dare you bring sanity (I came to the same conclusion for the same reasons, BTW) to this Gregory-bashing thread? FR can be irrationally juvenile sometimes.
