I Nominate David Gregory For Tim Russert's Job. Do I Hear a Second?

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

David has my respect. Tim does not.

[mod mom]

1. Second. Russert belongs on Faux.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

2. Or maybe radio? N/T

[femrap]

21. Russert belongs at McDonald's asking only

one question....'Want fries w/ that?'

[City Lights]

3. I'm in!

He does an outstanding job filling in for Tweety too. I frequently send them an email suggesting they make Gregory the permanent host.

David rocks!

[Raffi Ella]

13. ...

He and Keith Olberman are two of the best in news today.He really does need his own show.

[patricia92243]

4. I wonder why they have him as a replacement. He is more liberal than Tim.

Looks like they would get a Tim clone.

[seabeyond]

12. i dont think more liberal. less bias and does his job instead

of promoting bush

[OregonBlue]

18. Didn't he also present wiretap issues as yes or no as opposed to

legal (FISA) or not legal (unitary executive)? I didn't see the whole McCain interview but what I did see he asked him about the wiretap issue and did not ask about FISA.

[DUgosh]

5. Russert has a job?? I thought it was a soapbox

[Nikki Stone 1]

6. Intelligent guy, Gregory

I'll second.

[mentalsolstice]

7. He Also Needs To Replace Matt Lauer

I love it when DG is on MTP and Hardball, and he makes WH press conferences a hoot to watch, but he's just a whole lot of fun when he subs on the Today show.

[Jim__]

8. While I didn't see MTP today, I second the motion.

Little Timmy doesn't belong on tv.

[union_maid]

9. Watched it and was thinking the same thing

It's not even a partisan thing. Tim does all this "gotcha" stuff. True, he's done it more with the left than with the right but he does it with both and the fact is, it's not really any more informative than Crossfire got to be. He puts up some graphic for the guest to argue against, for which they use their canned talking points. David Gregory asks intelligent questions and gets information in return. It's just a much more intelligent show with him on it.

[rosesaylavee]

10. Yes. Please. n/t

[DesertRat]

11. Yes! I watched Meet the Press today and agree completely. n/t

[Nimrod2005]

14. Amen...

[BlueJac]

15. Tim sucks.........

He has been on his knees for the last 6 years!!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

16. what was up with steffie? he was

as nasty as I have seen to Kerry. kept trying to dig, and get a reaction. It was not an interview, it was a barely veiled attack.

[karlrschneider]

19. I'd watch Steph if only to see how he misbehaves but he's on here

at the same time as Press the Meat...
;-)

[karlrschneider]

17. Hell yeah!

:kick:

[Janice325]

20. Ditto

I really like David Gregory. I've seen him question Shrub/and/ or Company, and David's persistence is like a dog with a bone-he just won't let up.
k&r

[watercolors]

22. Easier on the eyes too!

He is quite intelligent and well spoken. I'm all for the change!
