The most heated public moment occurred during McClellan's off-camera "gaggle" with White House reporters yesterday morning. It featured NBC's David Gregory, one of McClellan's most persistent inquisitors over the last year, who raised his voice while asking a question about the incident.
"Hold on," McClellan interrupted, pointing out that "the cameras aren't on right now. You can do this later."
"Don't accuse me of trying to pose to the cameras," Gregory replied. "Don't be a jerk to me personally when I'm asking you a serious question."
"You don't have to yell," McClellan said.
"I will yell," said Gregory, jabbing his finger in McClellan's direction. "If you want to use that podium to try to take shots at me personally, which I don't appreciate, then I will raise my voice, because that's wrong."
"Calm down, Dave. Calm down," said McClellan evenly.
The two men spoke privately after the gaggle, Gregory said later. No apologies were exchanged.

They remind me of a few of the kids I grew up with. During recess, most of us boys would play football. While the teacher monitored the recess behavior, she was usually accompanied by a few girls, who would ring the bell to let everyone know recess was over. David Gregory comes across a one of the boys who would hang with teacher. A big wuss, though-and-though.

Gregory is pi$$ed that he didn't get the story he wanted, so he's making himself the story.
David Gregory needs to be taught what the frequency is...
White House, kick these scum to the crub. You are under NO obligation to talk to them. Just cancel these daily waste of time. Talk to the New Media and make the junk journalists talk to the Radio Talk Show hosts etc to get their "news" Junk Journalists seem completely incabable of grasping the reality that THEY need access to YOU, NOT vice versa.
Can there ever have been a more ignorant question from a reporter?
another helen thomas wannabe
Gregory is as painful and as attractive as a pilonidal cyst.
I'll cut Gregory some slack. It was that time of the month.
Serious question?
Judge for yourself how many serious questions were asked: Scott McClellan's press briefing
"Would this be a bigger story if he had been killed?"

I think that is what is bugging the press so much...he was not killed and so it is not much of a story. I think they really wish he was killed...then Cheney might be up for manslaughter....
Of course, only republican manslaughter counts....democrat manslaughter is ok a la teddy boy....
That Gregory fella reminds me of a snot-nose kid who never grew up and got real!
I got a two-fer from you. (1) Your point, and (2) now I know what pilonidal means. Thanks.
"I will yell," said Gregory, jabbing his finger in McClellan's direction. "If you want to use that podium to try to take shots at me personally, which I don't appreciate, then I will raise my voice, because that's wrong."
Of course Gregory sees no problem with using his position to take shots at the White House. And then the press wonder why no one goes out of their way to report an embarrassing incident to them.
lol
****
DITTO!!!..... Ari was the best ever!
Make no mistake about it, David Gregory is a very tall, very smug a**hole. Simple as that.
Ass monkey.
