David, Is That You? [Who's Holding that Sign?]

The Today show never showed us just who was holding that placard. But judging from his comments this morning, just how surprised would we be to find it was David Gregory himself?

Did David perhaps rev up for his appearance by reading this all-out assault on Bush foreign policy from in the LA Times? In any case, he came loaded for Bush bear with a totally bleak tour d'horizon that included these gems:

"The president's foreign policy was designed to make the the Middle East safer. It's not."

"Crisis after crisis has undermined the Bush doctrine." "A foreign policy that has yet to produce the promised results."

To prove his point, Gregory rolled a clip of Joe Biden informing us that "the Bush foreign policy is in tatters. Judge the Bush foreign policy by its own standards. He said he was going to deal with the Axis of Evil and in every case those nations are more dangerous."

The tag team continued with Gregory stepping back in to substantiate Biden's point: "Iraq on the brink of civil war, a rising Iran defying the world over nuclear weapons and flexing its muscles, and missile tests by North Korea, in violation of diplomatic demands."

Things could always get worse for W, and sure enough they did, as Greogry went on to inform us that: "Even the president's conservative allies say the world has become more unstable. Where, they now ask, is the president's nerve."

Remind me never to get any 'allies' like that.

I think the odds are pretty good that Dave wears a bra and panties underneath his suit.

Every word out of David Gregory's mouth serves to remind that somewhere, a village is missing its idiot.

President Bush was reelected with the most votes cast for him in US History.

Meanwhile that idiot spends his time by positioning himself in front of a camera with a meaningless insult written in faggy pink.

Gregory's only true claim to fame was getting high off of hashish or whatever it was he was smoking in India when he called in to Imus in the Morning and was giggling like a schoolgirl who just had her panties stolen by the local college football team.

Gregory is to "journalism" what e coli is to an enjoyable eating experience.

The Today Show is always a failure, and I don't miss Catty Couric. I ask myself every morning, while I'm typing here, why do I even turn it on?

Seems they like telling their audience that they are STUPID and they should listen to them, they know best.

Well, we know it's definitely not Cindy Sheehan's hand, since it isn't large and hairy.

I hope you're a lurker, David Gregory. And I hope this will wipe that shite eating grin off of your ugly mug.

Even though its satire, your cartoon-like part and that of your other lib media cronies are very real. See for yourself:

So any President that doesn't solve the middle east problems is a failure? Using that as a standard - we haven't had a successful president in my lifetime.

What is "priceless" about the photo? It's just another attempted slam of the President by a liberal media outlet.

I think the sign maker used the only word anybody could use to describe the picture.

Wonder what David's Approval Ratings are?? The difference is that President Bush is addressing these issues rather than ignoring them.

Pray for W and Our Troops

So Joe Biden's personal opinions are David Gregory's primary evidence of what has been accomplished in the Middle East?

It is impossible to despise the left too much.

Priceless when read in conjunction with first line of column, suggesting it might have been Gregory holding it.
