Man, what a tool. He's repeating Republican talking points verbatim.

11. $2 MILLION a year and the late Tim Russet thought he was a Turd
About a month ago, he joined NBC colleague Tim Russert at a Washington D.C. restaurant for dinner, where he showed his lack of appreciation for the help. David Gregory: Not a consummate dining companion?

The twosome's waitress somehow messed up their dinner order, and Gregory – who CBS is supposedly "enamored" with in their hunt for a Katie Couric replacement – let's say, caustically reminded her how bad she erred.
But the server wasn't the only one who got a scolding: Russert chewed Gregory out for his tactless behavior. "Russert warned Gregory never to behave that way in front of him again," says a spy.

And once MSNBC got wind of the story, they made Gregory "promise up and down to change his behavior" before they handed him the 6pm slot, we're told. Not to mention that this incident is not, we're assured, the first time Gregory has chewed out a less-than-competent service employee.

15. So he doesn't just play an asshole on TeeVee.
He actually is an asshole.

Why am I not surprised?

2. Is Barbara West his sister?
David Gregory clearly has a very partisan agenda in his reporting. He's as bad as Tom Brokaw, known repuke HACK!!

6. I couldn't agree more.
He is attacking Rep/ Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) right now.

Example:

Rep: Van Hollen : Obama will make reducing taxes for America's middle-class a top priority in his presidency.

David "Shaggy Dog" Gregory : OMG, this is incredible, what you are saying is that Obama will not make rolling back Bush's tax breaks for the wealthy a priority.

This continues for five minutes with Gregory trying to establish a gotcha moment.

Doesn't Gregory remind you of Shaggy Dog...

7. Nah, its not about the money with Gregory
he spouts off Reich wing talking points for pleasure.

Stop watching his show, his tax burden will go down a ton when his ass is unemployed. Maybe we can get them to sub in Aaron Brown who I thought was actually a decent talking head who got the hose over at RNN.

9. He has been dreadful on his own show
luckily his ratings show it.

I watch the Hardball scheduled right before his show and a couple of times a week watching the first few minutes of his show thinking "he might not be that bad now, now that we are so far ahead" and I can NEVER last 10 minutes. He SOOOO pisses me off.

I guess the questions of this election are where was the 2000 McCain and where was Gregory the reporter?

I'd love to find out what happened. Was he always a tool but acted like a reporter to get his own show and he wanted his own show so he'd get hired at Fox to make big bucks?

Just tell me KO is not wearing that dreadful purple outfit again. I love the color but sexist that I am, not on men.

10. What's up with that guy
When he was part of the White House press pool he would ask tough questions on occasion to Bush and Snotty Scotty. He has changed his outlook?
