As Ratings Plunge NBC Considers Dumping David Gregory From Meet The Press

[calimary]

185. Welcome to DU, Rebl!

Glad you're here! Ah, the Lucky Sperm Club. I think little Luke needs to pay a few more dues before somebody hands him a plum like that. Is he even shaving yet? I'm uncomfortable with him. I'd just like to see someone who spent a few more years than he has. He just hasn't put enough time or earned enough stripes to be able to carry a job like he even has now, much less "Meet the Press. MY pick for "Meet the Press" would be Rachel Maddow.

And there's another thing, too. I'm still chafing from the job his late dad did - what a suck-up for bush/cheney and all things GOP he was! Somebody who went around at some fancy Georgetown cocktail party during the 2000 campaign hiding a bush/cheney button inside his jacket - which he'd whip open with an impish grin whenever he spotted someone whose favor he curried. You're supposed to be OBJECTIVE, russert! He might as well have been wearing a neon ten-gallon hat covered with spinning pinwheels and honking trumpets and big signs all over it saying "VOTE GOP!!!!" He'd sit there week after week like some Cheshire Cat and let the cheney/contradicta/rummy contingent blather on and on and on and NEVER challenge, NEVER voice objection, NEVER fact-check. Just let 'em barf away for as long and as many repeat visits as they wanted. I used to respect him, long ago. But then jack welch and other republi-CON political high-rollers got ahold of him and he was owned. He died a wholly-owned subsidiary. Rest his soul, but he sure sold out in his last years. Could no longer be trusted.
