David Gregory is a sissified pinhead.

"Don't point your finger at me! I'm gonna tell MOMMY!"

I wish I knew more about the format of these press conferences. Who decides which reporters are admitted? Don't these conferences actually exist at the grace from the White House? Is the White House required by any law to hold these? Couldn't the President or his Press chief say, "Alright, we want to meet the press, but we are not obligated to accept rudeness or disrespect while trying to satisfy your desire for material. We will ban any reporter or agency that can't question us with due respect."

Also, can't the Press chief say, frankly, "Reporters, you ASK QUESTIONS, you don't give your speeches."

Can't the President or Press Chief develop a list of all agencies which would like to be represented and rotate the agencies in and out, all alike? This would humble them. Imagine ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN being told, you can only have your people in a certain order of rotation, 'cause we don't have room every time for all the agencies that want people in here." Then rotate some good conservative (though smaller and little known) news outlets in to the mix, giving them more equal footing with the household named ones.

Thanks for the ping! I wish Tony would have really told him off. He seemed a little timid. I don't like Gregory!

David Gregory needs to go home and have his mommy change his diapers

I understand he rides to work on one of these....

Take his press pass, this was very unprofessional.

This is the second time he had one of his Hissy Fits in the WH Pressroom/Toilet.

He should be put on probation and then given the boot. Who elected him President?

David Gregory is an arrogant jerk who is full of himself. Heh David, you are not the story. It's really, really time for Term Limits For Reporters!

How about drawing a random citizen or two. Since W has been president the federal government has grown at least twice the inflation rate, yet I have never heard a question about why the high growth rate and does the president have any respect for the people who pay the taxes rather than receive and spend the taxes. All I hear is "what mistakes did the president make?" asked about 50 different ways. David's behavior today, (and every day) is an insult to me and my President. He should not be in the room. Nor should Helen Thomas. She's had her time. There should be no "doyennes" or what ever she is in the White House press room, only temporary "journalists". I wish there was someone in the room concerned about issues, not just playing got ya and selling soap.

I think there is something blatantly undemocratic for the same journalists to have a monopoly of the seats in the White House. Even if every seat were filled by Fox News, I'd still want turn over. It's undemocratic to create this priviliged few in the press. It's the people house and the people's room, it would be nice if some real people were allowed to ask questions.David Gregory has been there what over 5 years. Helen Thomas is about 25 years past being put out to pasture. Sam Donaldson, etc., the room is filled with these privileged press primadonnas who should be thrown out of the people's house today.

Term Limits For Reporters!

MSNBC is so desperate for ratings that they'll try to puff this up while using the usual old did it to get answers crap.

It wasn't a press conference, it was a "gaggle". It is suppose to be an informal question and answer session without cameras.

Full transcript of today's gaggle is here (includes this exchange):

Drama Queen: David Gregory

[tiki]

Lol, but I can't imagine his sissy hands have or ever will touch a shovel. As far as bovine excrement, I can't really imagine him slinging himself.

[Frank_2001]

Got to be quite a few pairs of pink ladies' underwear in HIS closet.....

[onyx]

I must say, I love your post!

[onyx]

Wouldn't we love to get a piece of David Gregory...lol.

[onyx]

I have no idea, but he deserves to be banned.

Disrespecting Tony like that is unconscionable and this is hardly David's first offense.

Ahh Phil, I love that! You did a great job on that one!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Our talking hacks are better than thier talking hacks because...???

Because they tell more of the truth, more of the time, more graciously. It's a start....
