NBC REPORTER TO WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN: 'DON'T BE A JERK' Tue Feb 14 2006 08:54:18 ET
NBCNEWS chief White House correspondent David Gregory warned President Bush's spokesman on Monday not to be a "jerk!"
The heated exchange came during a press gathering at the White House.
Gregory asked White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan about the Cheney hunting accident.
'David, hold on, the cameras aren't on right now,' McClellan replied. 'You can do this later.'
'Don't accuse me of trying to pose to the cameras,' Gregory said, voice rising. '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, pointing a finger at McCellan at his dais. '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.
'I'll calm down when I feel like calming down,' Gregory said. 'You answer the question.'
'I have answered the question,' said McClellan, who had maintained that the vice president's office was in charge of getting the information out and worked with the ranch owner to do that. 'I'm sorry you're getting all riled up about.'
'I am riled up,' Gregory said, 'because you're not answering the question.'"
END
serious projection goin' on!
lol
:-D )))
Who in the heck does this guy think he is?
I like the Bush cold-shoulder policy. This guy should be the next on the list.
Panties, meet wad.
"David, you're whining like a little girl."
Since when does anyone in the White House have to answer ANY questions these nimrods put forth.
They are just going to spin it to suit their needs anyway. May as well toss the entire lot into the potomac and be done with them.
David "Clay" Gregory demonstrating why he has no pull in the
Bush White House.
David Gregory is an asshole who chases parked cars. The White House should use this outburst as an excuse to say Gregory is unstable and will no longer be welcome in the White House briefing room. That should sack Gregory's career pretty quickly.
"Sergeant-at-Arms! Remove this man and beat him senseless!"
Maybe Gregory is finally realizing his irrelevance. HA HA HA!!!!
Dear David,
Scott is not the one who is a jerk at these press breifs. You are a complete ass at these things. Grow up you major moron. News for you twit. The White House is under NO obligation to talk to you. Frankly given the hyper partistan behavior of the White House Press Corp, Bush should kick all you losers to the curb and only talk to the New Media.
Pair the obnoxious punk David Gregory up with Helen Thomas and seat them both in the hall outside the press conference area.
"'Don't accuse me of trying to pose to the cameras,' "
LOL!
David Gregory=Poser
Hell hath no fury like a White House Press Corps lib who has been scooped by a local daily.
hehehe the meltdown continues
