Isn't this like firing the clown from the circus? |

A new website -- FireDavidGregory.com -- debuted today calling on NBC to oust its chief White House correspondent, David Gregory.
The website includes a petition that outlines two recent incidents involving Gregory that propelled him into the national spotlight. The first was a boisterous encounter with White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, and the second was Gregory’s odd behavior yesterday on Don Imus’ program.
“These two episodes illustrate serious breaches in journalistic integrity,” the petition reads. “Mr. Gregory has done damage to NBC News' reputation and the reputation of journalism as a whole.
“Journalists should report the story, not become a part of it. Mr. Gregory, who was unable to control his emotions at a White House press conference and behaved inappropriately on a nationally syndicated radio program, is unfit to work for NBC News.”
The petition asks NBC Chairman Bob Wright to immediately fire Gregory or ask him to resign.
Video of Gregory on Imus’ program -- Imus accused him of being drunk -- is prominently displayed on the website. There is also a clip of Gergory at the White House briefing when he yelled at McClellan about the handling of Vice President Cheney’s accidental shooting.
“In the past month, Mr. Gregory has become part of the stories he is supposed to cover,” the petition says. “This is not the proper role of a journalist, especially someone as powerful of Mr. Gregory, who covers President Bush and the White House.”
More evidence the liberals are imploding, or drowning in their own scotch.
Sorry, but I don't agree. You can't damage what does not exist.
Why try to get rid of him? Gregory is a perfect example of the MSM. Sometimes bitchy, sometimes drunk, always wrong.
Why would we want to get rid of David Gregory? The guy is pure entertainment, and his 'gotch journalism' helps to make the case for liberal bias.
David Gregory is the missing link. Monkey boy.
What Reputation at DNBC??
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Only Carl Rove can fire Gregory.

Anyone care to place any bets on how far this will be received by NBC?
strike the word "far".
well, at LEAST reassign him.. or the head of WH press corp should demand his replacement perhaps?

In the case of Gregory and NBC, the more the public gets to witness Gregory's spoiled brat elitism, the sooner the death knell of NBC.
Hell no. Leave him there. I like it when a member of the MSM makes himself a pinata.
Every time I get drunk and call Imus, they never let me on the air.
No, no. NBC should promote Gregory! He is a classic example of what the MSM is about. Keep him there, promote him and give him a pay raise until NBC News is no more.
