1. We watched it!

Yay, Dave!

[RoverSuswade]

2. By 2016

M$NBCFOXCNN= PRAVDA

[Duval]

3. Missed it last night.

Thanks, lame54, for the post and the link.

[Jack Rabbit]

4. Thank you

MSNBC has covered the matter exactly as I expected. If the other networks are passing it over, it may be because they don't want to give NBC any free publicity on the theory, perhaps wrong in this case, that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

[ReRe]

5. K&R

That's right, in short order too. We need to kick this and be sure everyone spreads it far and wide, because there will be no word of it from NBC or MSNBC.

6. K&R

Time to pull the plug on Meet the Press?

[mountain grammy]

11. Yep, it's been on life support for too long.

[YOHABLO]

16. I still see Todd as such an amateur .. what are they thinking at NBC?

I would find that interview embarrassing for not only Todd but for NBC as well. How is Todd going to cover his tracks on that one?

[MynameisBlarney]

31. What could he possibly say

that wouldn't make it worse?

[rocktivity]

7. Everyone in the mainstream media has given him a pass

I have yet to find a review of the interview that mentions it. And apparently Todd thinks it's enough to simply mention that he "blew it." We're well aware that you blew it, Chuck -- you STILL owe us an explanation of HOW and WHY. Were you so nervous being around a US president, or so intent on "nailing" Obama, that you DIDN'T hear anything he said? Or did you have the misfortune of having your first "senior moment" at the worst possible time?

10. the question was probably written before the interview

[Demoiselle]

8. Good on yer, Dave!

Dave's a very smart man. Todd's behavior was so stupid, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it! I've tried to resist the feeling that the talking heads are all part of the conspiracy to keep us in line, but this tears it for me. I am endlessly impressed by the President's cool….and his ability to see beyond the immediate idiocy. He clearly knew, while it was happening, that what Todd was doing would blow up in Todd's face. Thank you, Dave!

[Pluvious]

9. If only...

PBO could have said to him... "Are you high?"

[mountain grammy]

12. Yea Dave!

[shenmue]

13. Go get 'em, Dave

There should be a Congressional order that David Letterman can never retire.

[trof]

14. K&R! GO DAVE!

[Uncle Joe]

15. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, lame.

[lame54]

25. you're welcome

[proReality]

17. K&R

Oh, yeah!

[Cha]

Thanks lame!

[freshwest]

19. K&R although I can't see the video there. Bummer.

[Dawson Leery]

20. k/r

[lonestarnot]

21. Yes Dave.

[ffr]

22. Woke the house up I was laughing so hard.

Chucky must have wanted to slither into a floor crack after that gaff. How will he ever, I mean EVER, live that down? Talking to the POTUS?

What a buffoon!

[Major Hogwash]

23. This was the funniest thing Dave has done since McCain skipped out on Dave's show back in 2008.

I don't think Dave likes doing this sort of thing.
But, it just sort of "fell out of the sky", so he had to show everyone what had happened.

Honestly, when has a member of the press corps treated any other President so poorly?
Over the last 40 years, I have never seen an interviewer say something this absurd to any President!

[lame54]

24. Meet The Douche

[MynameisBlarney]

30. Billo Lielly

He was pretty damn rude to Obama.

[B Calm]

26. Chuck Todd should have been fired Sunday afternoon! Either Chuck is stupid or

he did it on purpose.

[blackspade]

27. The carnival music is perfect.

[tooeyeten]

28. From the safety of CBS

And NBC left him behind.

[MynameisBlarney]

29. If he fails THAT badly

on his 1st day. Interviewing the Prez., why is he still employed?

How is anyone supposed to take him seriously? He was a joke before, now, he's a laughing stock.
MSNBC needs to send him to CNN so he can be amongst his peers. (Anderson Cooper excluded of course).

[tooeyeten]

32. Right wing likes him

No one else wants to or has the gall to wear the shoes of Russert,

[freebrew]

33. You have to wonder.

What does Chucky have on his superiors or maybe he's related?

News people are now like the weatherman, no job consequence when you're wrong.

I miss Walter.

[Gothmog]

34. Letterman was great on this joke about Todd

Todd is an idiot and I am glad that Letterman called him out on this stupidity

[fleur-de-lisa]

35. Epic! Thanks for posting.

I heard about Toad's gaffe, but refuse to watch his show, and had not seen the Letterman bit before . . . that is priceless!

[Lrobby99]

36. How did Obama respond?

Did Barack correct Chuck, or let it slide?

[valerief]

37. Todd claims not to be Ron Burgundy, but we're not so sure (except for not getting the babes).

[2banon]

39. I wish I hadn't wasted my time reading that sycophantic fluff piece..

title of the article was a classic bait and switch.

[toby jo]

38. Maybe SNL will give it a kick ~
