David Gregory has long been accused by Republicans of being a left-wing hatchet man disguised as a reporter. Add to that, Gregory certainly does appear to love the limelight as his questions at presidential news conferences, or really any time the cameras are roiling, turn into long-winded filibusters. Many news observers from the right and left agree, for David Gregory, it is all about Dave.
If you can accept that, that would make him a really good radio talk show host to replace ousted shock jock Don Imus. (That would also make him a really bad reporter). Now a report from the New York Daily news claims that David may just get that chance for the limelight to shine on him.

I think it’s a great idea ... I predict he’ll have as much success at this as Katie Curtic
“Yes, to be fair, Joe Scarborough is doing an excellent job, and I’m choking just saying it..

Interesting Hillary Clinton was going on Scarborough’s show this morning. I wasn’t able to watch the interview...but considering she’s rarely available for such a thing, you have to wonder at the timing.
Scarbrough can’t decide whose side he is on! I can’t watch for more than a few minutes.
‘Scarbrough can’t decide whose side he is on! I can’t watch for more than a few minutes.’
He’s on the side of ratings these days.
Interesting. Politics aside, Gregory is a creative and funny guy. Anyone who knows how to let their guests get a word in edgewise has my cautious vote.
For me, the key is for them to be on neither side.
Scarborough has had a black guy (Ridley) on with him this week. Tucker had Chuck Nice last week. Very funny.
Yeah, and funnier, too. Problem, as side from his age, is that he's even more politcally incorrect than Imus.
IMHO this is a ridiculous scenario. Gregory isn't even a good guest. The job he has now has much more of a future than any talk show host. Why ole monkey face could be the next Helen Thomas (eek: picture that mug 20 years from now).
One big cry baby for another. Nothing new here, move along...
I always like listening to Imus, but his interviews with Gregory is probably the biggest reason I stopped listening. I would switch stations when he came on and during that period, I got hooked on the Bill Bennett show. Gregory is terrible.
“et tu, Brutus?”
David Gregory?
Now THAT’S funny!
Awesome. MSNBC will be bankrupt by August.
I have watched David Gregory fill in for Chris Matthews and I’ve seen him trying to be funny at correspondent’s dinners and such. He will flop in spectacular fashion at hosting a several hour show every morning.
MSNBC doesn’t realize how hard it is to fill all those hours with listenable content. That’s why radio stations pay a lot for guys like Stern and Imus and Rush and Hannity.
The first radio NON-personality?
Remember the Tom Brokaw impersonation he did?
I’d watch at least the first morning.
one liberal or another......what difference does it make really?
