What REALLY REALLY REALLY amazes me about this whole Plame affair:

[BigBearJohn]

the fact that the crazy MSM is covering it. I mean, the DSM was extremely
important, but got hardly any coverage.

And now, because of MSNBC's David Gregory leading the charge, a whole
bunch of reporters found their gonads and everyone piled on McClellan
in a grand style.

I have been watching NBC's Senior White House Correspondent
David Gregory on MSNBC while he's been substituting for Tweety Bird
(Matthews) on Hardball. He's so much better than Tweety.

Here's a great idea IMHO: As a way of showing our appreciation to David,
let's all write MSNBC and tell them to replace Joe Scarborough with
David Gregory. This would serve several purposes: 1) acknowledge
David for showing some guts and gumption; 2) get rid of Scarborough;
3) Gregory's ratings will swamp everyone elses; 4) he's infinitely
easier to look at than beady-eyed Scarborough.

If you would like to write David personally: [e-mail]

He even stood up to Ari Fleischer:

Q You’re saying they’ve turned the corner, they just haven’t gone quite far enough?

MR. FLEISCHER: I’ll leave it as I put it.

Q Why won’t you answer the question about —

MR. FLEISCHER: Greg.

Q Hold on. We’re entitled to follow up, Ari — this isn’t homeroom.

MR. FLEISCHER: Greg.

Q Why won’t you answer the question about whether or not — he said there are going to be consequences —

MR. FLEISCHER: David, there are other qualified reporters in here, too, who can follow-up.

Q I didn’t say they were not qualified, Ari. I’m saying you’re running it like it’s homeroom, like we can’t follow-up when you’re refusing to answer a question that’s been posed twice to you, directly. The Secretary of State said that there would be consequences. Why won’t you say what they might be?

MR. FLEISCHER: Greg.

Q Do you want to elaborate on what those consequences would be?

MR. FLEISCHER: I addressed it earlier. You heard what I said about consequences.

Q You didn’t address it, which is the point. But you can’t tolerate that kind of dissent.

1. I haven't been watching the news

but if it sounds like that their balls are dropping then I give them applause.

2. The difference is that this time, they lied directly to the media.

The media couldn't care less if the administration lies to everyone else. But, lie to the media directly and the party's over.

3. Here's what I wrote to msnbc

I've been impressed with the job David Gregory has been doing...
the transcripts I've read make me think if there were more of him
on your channel it just might be worth subscribing to... I cancelled a
long time ago because of the poor quality of your 'news' reporting and
editing, but give him his own show and I think I'd sign up again.

on edit: and to David Gregory:

It is with great and rare pleasure that I write you to compliment you on the great job you've been doing, and as far as I can tell, have done your whole career. In an age were stenography has supplanted journalism, it is inspiring to see someone asking the tough questions -- and the tough followups, even if they don't get answers. Keep up the great work, our country needs you, and be careful when the cameras aren't rolling.

5. Great letter! Thanks!
