Come on, Gregory.... let's hear another refrain of "M.C. Rove".

Dear David Gregory,

I have watched you at work doing your best to be the great reporter that I know you can be..... Those sometimes hard questions that seem to put Bush on the defensive are nice, sometimes you press on, trying to get a straight answer and others, you give up.....

You have credibility for the most part but if you would just do the right thing and do what you know is right and never back down and stop repeating what you know are republican talking points... you can easily become the sweetheart of all that was once holy about the media before Reagan started the process of destroying the 4th estate.....

Please, for all that is great and wonderful about this country and in the memory of the media, pre-Reagan.......

You know what the truth is Mr Gregory....... find it, learn it, report it to us at all cost and help save this country from those that would destroy her for profit, blind patriotism, and infotainment!

We need a hero.

McCain flip flops on abortion rights, taxes, the war in Iraq, immigration, global warming, and environmental issues.  What a true Maverick.

Oh, I get it !  Flip flopping equates being a maverick.  Funny, the Republicans thought flip flopping was worse than sin when they accused Kerry of it.

It gets real funny when they lecture us about how we should give McCain respect because he's a veteran.... you know, the same way they treated John Kerry , Max Cleland and George McGovern with respect.

John Kerry , Max Cleland and George McGovern must be phoney soldiers.

<end sarcasm>

Just a question:

Since when is a POW a war hero? 

War heroes are people who either save lives or shorten battles. When did the definition change? 

9/11 changed everything.... or haven't you heard?

"Maverick" doesn't fit for 'ole John,

Who sold out and became a Bush pawn

Now his flippers are flopping

His Iraq tales are whopping

The straight talking express is all gone.

 

GOOD ONE MARY !!!

Ditto, Mary.

David Gregory asserted that Sen. John McCain has "got a pretty strong brand identity as being a maverick and being anti-politics and anti-Washington"

Well, let's all guess how he got that "brand identity".  Could it be due to all the bloviating blowhards repeating it ad nauseum?  And doesn't brand identity imply "all hat and no horse".  (Isn't that what they call Bush?)

I swear, I'm going to just about lose it if I hear one more talking head call Gramps a maverick.

Wait, Gramps is anti-politics? But isn't he denouncing statements that are anti-anything? Must he denounce himself?

Yes he MUST DENOUNCE himself to be anti-politics.  And to quote Barry Goldwater's son:  "When the chips are down, the buffalo is empty."

Sounds like bull hockey to me ;-)

His other one (Barry Goldwater's son):  he said he got it straight from the horse's mouth, but it came from the other end.

I know you're just baiting me, trying to get me to come off the HAA wagon.

I won't fall for your tricks.

"They are really, really revved up. And I don't know if we're going to see that on the right this time."

Thanks to you guys, buddy, they won't have to be.

Enjoy your McCain tax cuts, MSMers

I don't think the right is going to be "revved up". Just reacting by pulling the lever for McCain for the most part. The zombie base won't have to think about it, it's the reasonable Republicans that will make the difference. I hope they're paying attention to something besides the mainstream media's Grampy Express.

I'm afraid they'll default toward the tax cuts.... that's all Gramps has to promise them. More tax cuts, more war, more debt. Ain't life grand?

McCain a maverick?  

In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya "You keep using that word.  I do not think it means what you think it means."

When David Gregory went all defensive with Helen Thomas over how the media failed the country in the run-up to war, I knew he was a lost cause....and had become, like his friends a corporate shill.

At one time I had hope that Mr. Gregory had the cajones to become a real reporter, a real watchdog for democracy. WRONG.  He likes being a part of the millionaire pundits club, the all guys, "aren't we cool to be friends with Jack Welch" club.
