He might have made the biggest ass of himself that I've ever seen anyone do in the White House press corps in the early days of the war in Iraq. He asked Ari a question about something totally unrelated and when Ari put him off, Gregory whined "C'mon, we're at WAR here!" As if that made is imbecilic question any more relevant.
I would have hard time if I saw him on the street somewhere.
In thinking of Gregory I will always remember Florida 2000 when David Bloom was one of the lead NBC reporters. James Baker would always let him ask a question and, if my memory serves me, he always seemed to ask substancial questions and actually came across as an honest journalist (as much as possible). Again my memory of Baker always calling on him seemed to create such an impression.
Bloom died in Iraq and I remember being so bummed. Whether he was an overall liberal or not he had an aura that was the hallmark of a good reporter - a questionable political allegiance.
David Bloom - RIP
