  • CHUCK TODD TO DO MOST THINGS FOR NBC NEWS: Whoa hey it’s press release day at your Wonkette! “NBC News announced today that Chuck Todd has been named Chief White House correspondent,” NBC News announced in a press release. He will remain NBC News Political Director and will also become a regular contributor to Meet The Press, with David Gregory, who used to be Chief White House correspondent. Chuck Todd, everyone! [Sigh]. We would pay millions of dollars just to watch Chuck Todd describe Lake County, Indiana precinct returns at midnight one more time.

    Is this the same Chuck Todd who’s banging Campbell Brown? No? Uh. OK.

    He’s like a thinner and less homophobic version of Rick Warren. Congrats Chuck!

    He will also have to aim the NBC satellite dishes in the Meadowlands, and he will be called upon to play the marimba in the band on the new prime time Leon show. Plus, one Saturday a month he will preform oil changes in the new WNBC-TV news studio, which is also a Kwik-E-Lube.

    Serolf Divad: Why did you feel the need to remind us of Campbell’s departure? I miss her so much. This brings up a whole range of abandonment issues I thought I had put behind me.

  6. bfstevie says at 2:37 pm, December 18th, 2008

    Ummmm…. I meant prime time LENO show.

    Oh Chucky. I still love him. He was on MSNBC this morning with some stupid panel. They only asked him one question. It was sad. I’m glad he will have more to do now that he precious tracking polls have been taken away.

    Do you think Chuck Todd is jealous that Nate Silver came around and stole all his fans?

  9. Dramatist says at 2:50 pm, December 18th, 2008

    Finally, my fantasy of a Chuck Todd/Helen Thomas reimagining of “Harold & Maude” will come to fruition.

    bfstevie:

    I’m convinced she still has feelings for you, bfstevie. Don’t let that good thing you had slip away forever all on account of a simple misunderstanding involving a sheep dressed in Victoria’s Secret lingerie.

  11. Dramatist:

    I think am scarred forever thinking about that-thanks much!!!!!11!

    I wish that the fourth estate was a series of elected offices. I would love to vote every goddamned one of them out. Everyone of them. It’s the likes of Olbermann, Matthews, Schuster, that fuck wad Chuck Todd, all of ‘em from every station, including that ponchy little nancy boy AC, most of all Wooooof Snotzer and then that pompous overly-white toothed Lou Dobbs. Jesus, these fucking idiots are long overdue for spending more time with their gene pools.

    Geez, Makeithurt: let us know your real feelings..! These guys are only there as counterpunch to FAUX… I think the real issue is, should there be a FOX/MNBC merger, with co-hosts showing up with weapons….? I say YES!!!!

    Chuck Tood or Gwen Ifill should have been picked for MTP, not that Prada-boot-wearing twat, David Gregory.

  15. heroinmule: Perfect description of David Gregory. Twat.

  16. rocktonsammy says at 7:32 pm, December 18th, 2008

    I haven’t heard or read ‘twat’ in years.

  17. Mr Blifil says at 1:25 am, December 19th, 2008

    And note he got this high honor without once being alleged in any police report of having engaged in any form of toe-sucking. That’s not to say he doesn’t enjoy a properly ripened toe or toe as much as the next person, nay perhaps more! It just means he’s playing it close to the vest. Well played, my man. Well played.
