I think Gregory is still smarting from this exchange on 27 May 2002 -
"I wonder why it is you think there are such strong sentiments in Europe against you and against this administration?" the reporter said. "Why, particularly, there's a view that you and your administration are trying to impose America's will on the rest of the world, particularly when it comes to the Middle East and where the war on terrorism goes next?"
Turning to Mr. Chirac, he added in French: "And, Mr. President, would you maybe comment on that?" "Very good," Mr. Bush said sardonically. "The guy memorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental."
"I can go on," Mr. Gregory offered.
"I'm impressed que bueno," said Mr. Bush, using the Spanish phrase for "how wonderful." He deadpanned: "Now I'm literate in two languages."

"Hey, Jim, do you know why protesters always carry a bucket of week-old bear manure to ever anti-war rally?"

"No, Bones, why do they?"
"It keeps the flies off the reporters from CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC!"
Bada Bing!
Want a break from war news? Go to Stark Trek for a laugh or two. Then come back refreshed and loaded for bear whether he goes in the woods or not!

I agree.
He wins points for professionalism, I think. But he could be a folk-hero if one day he jumped down from the podium and pushed a grapefuit in someone's face.

Gregory comes across as a little prep school brat.
I keep hoping one of these days one of the other reporters will just smack him or tell him to knock it off.
He's a punk,IMHO.

I'm hoping for a press secretary who will say "Who says that?" I have personally heard Arie ask that question a couple times. One time was to Helen and the question caught her off guard, LOL!
She collected herself and said with a bit of hesitation, "It's been reported in the papers."
Arie replied, "What paper?"
She totally lost it and said "lots of papers". "I read it................!"
BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I couldn't find "cack" in my dictionary. And frankly, if you cannot preview your own title, you deserve to be smacked across the chops.

HEY!! That was my first thought too!!

"I couldn't find "cack" in my dictionary. And frankly, if you cannot preview your own title, you deserve to be smacked across the chops." You're addressing the wrong person, for one.
You're going to smack someone across "the chops" for using slang here?
To: withteeth
"You" is an interesting word, seeing that it can function as a third-person plural. Furthermore, "cack" is not in my slang dictionary,
either. The closest match is:
cack-broad n. =cackle-broad. 1942: "I knocks de pad with them cack-broads up on Sugar Hill." Z. Hurston, 89. Cf. kack.1
So it's not slang. It's a typo in the title. Ergo, open-season.

Or am I misunderstanding you? Did you mean to use a verb as a noun?
