Hey, has anybody seen David Gregory’s show on the MSNBC, called, uh, That Thing Between Episodes of ‘Hardball’? Yeah, us neither. Apparently it features bottled heads in a spaceship, with David Gregory being very self-important in front of them. Unsurprisingly, people do not watch this show, and the gentleman who made his bones being a comically aggressive dick to George Bush in press conferences now finds his star on the wane.
Meanwhile our girl Rachel Maddow is doing marvelously filling in for Keith Olbermann — no surprise there, as 90 percent of Olbermann viewers, while biologically male, are emotional lesbians.
Tom Brokaw was mean to David Gregory on Meet the Press and nobody knows what to with that big lummox now. Maybe send him to Mexico with Lou Dobbs? Oh wait, other network. CABLE NEWS IS CONFUSING.
David Gregory: NBC’s Lame-Duck? [New York Observer]

Poor ol’ Stretch.
I want Rachel Maddow to host everything on MSNBC. I even want her to appear in the commercials, no matter what product is being hawked.
MSNBC needs to just hand that whole steaming mess over to Rachel Maddow…
the show is called “race to the white house” or something, so at least we can be assured it will be cancelled when barry has won that race thingy.
OMG…rachael is gay?
They should turn it over to the Daily Show.
What I’d like to see is a competitor show to “The View” except with Amy Goodman, Rachel Maddow and Katrina Vanden Heuvel hosting. That’s a show I’d watch.
This shit happened because they want to “expand exploit the NBC brand across a larger delivery platform”.
It’s like, CBS/Viacom putting Spongebob Squarepants on the evening news as co-anchor with Katie Couric to expand their brand…
What NBC/MSNBC needs is a stable of truly hostile reporters, not a bunch of freaking talk show hosts.
Apparently, he’s auditioning for Dancing with the “Stars.”
“Tom Brokaw was mean to David Gregory on Meet the Press and nobody knows what to with that big lummox now.” No-one has known what to do with Tom Brokaw for the last three decades…

Katie wouldn’t allow that. She isn’t going to allow anyone smarter than her co-anchor. It’s why she turned down Elmo, Corey Feldman and a mannequin.
[re=41970]Godless Liberal *[/re]: Here here!! I feel a little guilty that I want to see her naked…
So David Gregory is a lesbian?
[re=41979]Serolf Divad[/re]: I will if they’re giving Laura Ijgraham a spanking everyday at the “bottom” of the hour,every hour they’re on.
[re=41977]tsunami[/re]: No, she’s just from an island in the Aegean Sea.
(and likes to have sex with women)
Hey guys, lay off my favorite Muppet.

Scratch out Vanden Heuvel add Stephanie Miller!
Sad. Gregory was at one point the only DC ‘reporter’ who had a pair. He used to take McClellan’s lunch money on a regular basis.
But his show looks like that inane “Around the Horn” on ESPN. He needs a ‘big face on camera show’ like the rest of the cable news clowns.
Also, Tom Brokaw is a bit of a dickbag. Let’s be clear on that.
I would totally take Rachel on a date to an Indigo Girls concert in a U-Haul.

well, so do i…like to have sex with women.
that doesn’t make me a lesbian.
course, i’m a guy…so, i guess you’re right after all.
[re=41994]meemers[/re]: Nah – you’ve got to have KVH. Great gams on that one.
[re=42000]John Vierdsen[/re]: Ugh. Then she opens her mouth, and she is INSUFFERABLE.
Stupid Wonkette. Dave Gregory retired as XTC’s guitarist in 2000, before the release of their Apple Venus: Volume One album.
Gregory is just keeping the seat warm until Al Franken loses to Norm Coleman.
It’s very simple. At one time David Gregory was one of the few reporters actually acting like reporters, and asking simple, journalistic questions at press conferences. At that time, I made sure to try and tune in.
Then as he got noticed, he turned back into a Bush Jr. crotch-sniffer, and I make no effort to do so.
Why is this lesson so hard for these people to learn?
If you act like a Republican / hawk crotch-sniffing miserable excuse for a journalist, you will not attract non-Fox-nooz viewers. This shouldn’t be surprising.
I walked past Gregory on the street in NYC last night. I almost said “Hey, there’s David Gregory and his new shag haircut!” He must get that a lot. He is crazy tall.
This Gregory guy needs to just go back to being a news reporter. He’s terrible at talking heads stuff, terrible at anchoring, and terrible at talk shows. And who on earth needs another boring, dumb political talk show? No one. Enough already. Gregory: Just report the news. Report the facts, report the news, report on current events. And then go home. Don’t even go out to these dumb parties or fancy restaurants–because that doesn’t work for you, either. Just report the news. It’s that simple.
I like when they show all the commentators at once in their own little windows. It’s like Voltron, only far, far nerdier.
I’ve often heard that I resemble David Gregory…usually followed by the sound of a slamming door….
According to the profile of Keith Olbermann in the New Yorker a couple of weeks ago, 45% of his audience is female.
That a member of MC Rove’s posse survived this long on MarxiStNBC is a testament to the perceived ratings draw of Anderson Cooper’s beautiful silver mane.
[re=41979]Serolf Divad[/re]:
+ Laura Flanders
[re=42003]Sara K. Smith[/re]: Forget KVH, add in Chrystia Freeland and that one shirt that she always wears with the triangles:

That pic screams “I’m not wearing pants.”
There is this Face Off thing that he does on his show. Lately it’s been Maddow v. Some Right Winger. It never ends well for the Right Winger. It’s cool how Maddow’s sadface contorts into a wry grin when the Winger says something dumb for which Maddow will WTFBBQPWN him. Which is immediately followed by said WTFBBQPWNing.
MSNBC programming does suck though. What the hell is up with replaying Hardball an hour later? Just give Maddow her own fekking show already.
[re=41979]Serolf Divad[/re]:
Yeah, I’d watch it if it was on around midnight. Leno is too stimulating and I have trouble getting to sleep sometimes.
[re=41994]meemers[/re]:
Ok, now you’re talking. Add Stephanie Miller to that mix and you’d have an instant hit.
[re=42100]Jesus_Christ_Resurrected[/re]: yeah, he really jumped the shark with that dumb dancing at that dumb dinner with that dumbass
[re=42224]Rodney Badger[/re]: Explain the acronym, please. From where I stand it looks like “What the fuck bar-b-que PWN.” Is that close?
Are you talking about bar-b-qued punani? Because Rachel would go for that, too.
As of yesterday, David Gregory was sitting in for Matt Lauer on “Today”. He intro’d a schmoopy “this just in” segment of a decades old video of a lion being reunited with the two London based ex-pat Aussie “antique dealers” who had saved it from Harrod’s (pre-Mohammed Al Fayed).
Carnaby Street clothes, hair-of-a-bygone-era, inter-species hugfests and Meredith Vierra’s tears, all on display. David had a look on his face that registered somewhere between despondency and disbelief, with a big thought bubble above his head that read: “So, it has come to this”.
I do think Rachel would have pulled off the whole thing with aplomb. Though it was the feel good video of the year.
Whatever Happened To David Gregory?
Ummm.. He’s kinda ugly, which distracts me from the news.. I know.. I am a disgusting human being – but at least I am better than Dubya & Walnuts! Oh and I know that Iraq doesn’t border Afghanistan!!
Hey y’all – quick question: Who’s this “David Gregory” character again?
I wouldn’t mind seeing Rachel get her own show, and they could bring Alison Stewart back to sub for Olbie. No mater what, Rachel is a hundred times better than the dried up old spinsters that haunt Fox News.
I found him! He did an in depth interview with (OMG!) Hannah Montana on the Today show this morning. He’s back!
