David Gregory on Hardballs today
Putting the smackdown on Melanie Morgan, some low-level RW talk-show host, who is trying to tie Cindy to moveon.org.

Mark Green is from the left, why doesn't he appear more? Maybe because he is unapologeticly liberal.

21. I agree!
And Morgan was ALSO on Hardball up against Hackett. Hackett tore her up. She was bragging about being in Iraq with other conservatives, finding all the "good" going on in Iraq. Hackett said that she has no idea of what's really going on, that she sees what our govt. WANTS her to see, and then goes back to her cushy job. She HATED him and I loved it. He stayed in her face and kept telling her she doesn't know what she's talking about.

25. did she go outside the Green zone? Gregory didn't ask her that
I'll bet any amount that she didn't, cause NOBODY goes out there without extremely heavy guard....force protection is the nameof the game now.

tonight, when she was braying at the end about how the meeeedia won't say how swell things are going there.

she is among the very lowest forms of life I/ve seen in quite some time

did anybody ask her who's footing the bill for her little astroturf trip tomorrow?

34. Morgan is a great poster girl for the right. A real beast.
She was on with Matthews a few weeks ago. You'd think she had free reign to go anywhere in Iraq she wanted. Not So. Everything was spoon fed to her, and she lapped it up. I wish she'd stay over there.

She has a morning talk show in SF.

35. It wasn't tonight's show...
But before the OH election, when she and Hackett were on with Matthews, HACKETT asked her if she left the green zone and she said she DID-with interpreters and full armor and military guys. Hackett STILL said that she was only taken to where the govt. wanted her to go. She said they were giving out candy to kids and stuff like that. I'm betting it WASN'T a dangerous part.

13. Gregory was showing his "versatility"
When Nora O'D had the Hardball seat, Gregory was filling in for Matt Lauer, poor bastard, and forced to do exercise with Al Roker, dance with Katie, and other stupid morning stuff.

He has first dibs at Hardball, but he must have made the TODAY SHOW commitment before the fill-in opportunity came available.

Chris Matthews' father died recently, I imagine that is why Chris is gone from the chair.

3. Until recently Gregory whored for the White House
But I've seen a change in him over the last few months. I guess the correspondents are not so frightened by Bush's approval numbers anymore. I also sense that Gregory was really pissed off by the Plame/Rove leak.

5. Gregory has had a backbone for quite awhile
Whenever there is a difficult question at a presidential conference, you know, when the question isn't "How do you feel being such a great man?", David Gregory is usually the one asking the question.

Tweety needs to be thrown overboard and this guy needs to have a show.

27. I've thought the same thing, since seeing him host 'Hardballs'
'Why doesn't this guy have his own show?'

6. I never thought of Gregory as a WH shill
Early in Chimperor's term, he made the Chickenhawk-in-Chief look bad in a press conference in France and I've loved him ever since. I wish MSNBC would give HIM a show!

And thank God they ditched Norah (White Haus tool) O'Donnell! Now THERE is a shill for the right ...

31. David is a real journalist
however working for NBC/Microsoft he is kept on a short leash. He's fun to watch when he pounces, which is rare.

14. "I had someone cancel an interview with me 'cause Cindy
isn't here."

:nopity:

Cindy had numerous interviews canceled, and the Today Show even stood her up before she started getting any air time.

19. and what's funny about that...
Is that Morgan has been bitching that Sheehan is some kind of publicity hound, and she turns around and whines that SHE has an interview cancelled! And then blames it on Sheehan! What a bizarre thought process she has - just spews out her right-wing hatred without even listening to her dumbass self.

This hag is really, really horrible.

17. Hey MSNBC...I never watch Hardball - but I WOULD watch David Gregory...
hint, hint!!

David is also the best regular guest on IMUS! Their casual rapport really seems more "truthful" - I love it.

24. Me, too -- except now I can't usually catch it on the West Coast
They've moved Hardballs to MIDNIGHT PT -- My only hope of watching this show is to sneak a peek at the office at 4PM (like I'm doing now!) It's sad enough to miss Tweety but if Gregory were the permanent host, I'd be apoplectic!

What is this policy that these talking heads shows use to balance a Dem with a nut.
