David Gregory....... "How 'bout handing me, that bag of Cheetos?"

Just how stoned was David Gregory yesterday on Imus? Will this story have never happened by sometime tomorrow? Will the old media be successful in covering for him?

Or, will David get handed a cup when he comes home?

[beyond the sea]

But I never smoked a joint

It's never too late.

The wedding is June 11, 4pm. ;O)



He was on duty because he was on the air in a professional capacity. Imus didn't have him on the show because he's a buddy, Imus had him on the show because he's NBC White House correspondent. Further, Gregory has his employer's reputation in his hands when he appears in public representing them.

Dinner with a reporter is different because . . . no camera. And if Gregory had been surreptitiuosly recorded in this condition it would be different.


But in this case, that interview was on duty.

I agree completely. I honestly don't care if somebody gets drunk or stoned, and you gotta feel for a guy who, instead of drunk-dialing his ex-girlfriend drunk dials into a live television show----but to suggest that it was all an act isn't very plausible.

[beyond the sea]

Let's run the audio 24/7, then take a poll.

The greatest suggestion today.

I'd say around 80% to 90% of relatively intelligent past or present users of marijuana would say David G. was high......... not drinking and not faking it.

I think you are taking this much more seriously than I am..I just enjoyed Gregory having the giggles and not communicating as a reporter should on a Presidential trip of this magnatude..

I do not accuse him of anything..I am poking fun and haven't a clue if the self important toad was just being the silly goose..

[beyond the sea]

Maybe Spicoli will become the picture of choice for David Gregory threads from now on!

Oh yes .......... the lovely Catherine Zeta Jones equivalent on 'Maureen Dowd' threads.

Read peoples profiles

You lost me there, brother......... and there are apostrophes.

;-)

[Verginius Rufus]

David Gregory has made himself the news before...remember the time there was a joint press conference with a visiting French leader (Chirac?) and Gregory made a point of asking him a question in French (to call attention to President Bush's not knowing that language).

[Echo Talon]

no i dont remember that but i can believe it! :)

[beyond the sea]

Read peoples profiles.

"and am the son of a inner city high school teacher(mom) and a state university professor (dad)" ---

Two teacher parents .........and no apostrophes for you. Shame.

Thank you for that, P.

Where should I send the ball and chain?

(Just kidding -- married to the same sweetie pie for 33 years.... it gets better all the time............. but there are bumps)

Don't know why you pinged me other that to rabble rouse. You must be one that likes the smell of napalm in the morning.

I see you've sided with O'Reilly on this, he does it for ratings, don't know what your excuse is. Even Juan Williams had enough sense to realize that Gregory only diminished his reputation by his asinine behavior.

Don't ping me again for this kind of silly banter.

[MEG33]

I misspelled magnitude..! ;)

[beyond the sea]

I see you've sided with O'Reilly on this

Just to set you straight........ I did not "side with O'Reilly".

I saw the segment last night, and only reported that Bill was willing to blame Gregory's unusual behavior on exhaustion and sleeplessness.

Got it?

[HardStarboard]

>>>Those who know say "stoned".<<<

I agree...but Imus called him "drunk" and if there is anyone who ought to be able to tell the difference it is Imus!!!

[Polyxene]

Exactly what I was thinking! LOL!

[pookie18]

I prefer my plain, colorless life, but thanks anyway...

[jazusamo]

OK, I got it...Went back and read the whole thread and you didn't side with O, sorry for being harsh. :)

[BigSkyFreeper]

NBC's bigwigs are defending him, so he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
