Is "Meet The Press" scraping the bottom of the barrel?
This Sunday: Exclusive! Fmr. Sen. Fred Thompson (R-TN)!

Is David (Lurch) Gregory having a hard time attracting quality people to interview?

2. Not a bad catch, considering he usually sleeps until noon.

13. Who can tell with the way he mumbles?
He might be another Einstein or a dumb as a shoe tree. I've never been able to make out two consecutive words he says. I hope to God it's because he drinks.

17. Maybe it's the way he sits on the interviewer's knee.
That's a good clue.

21. The difference determined by a team of experts...
...or a coin flip in the case of a tie vote.

3. Maybe because it is Fathers Day

4. Well he's ill informed, biased ad an extremely poor interviewer
But I think he's pretty good at taking instructions from his bosses at the RNC.

So I would imagine people with brains (Dems) avoid his crappy show and he is left with never were's like fred thompson.

I give the show another 6 months. It's hemorrhaging viewers and sinking in the ratings. Soon the advertisers will begin to pull out and NBC will have to shitcan gregory or cancel the show.

I mean it always sucked but it has sunk to new levels of suckitude with gregory.

10. On what?
If we're going to put Netanachoo on something, I choose the Moon. I'll let the network make the call on life-support equipment for him and Gregory.

6. Fred jumped the shark when he left the Roseanne show.
:shrug: Even there, he was over-rated.

I'd love to watch Gregory trying to keep a straight face.

18. Busy boycotting her census form, most likely
Leave her alone - this takes a lot of effort.
