Poor little guy, he's pouring salt into his own wounds. The public understands what happened. They know that Harry is OK and now they just want this to go away.

What does the media not understand about IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!?!

Hard as the MSM trys, they can't get the American public to jump on their band wagon. LOL!

Given the title I thought that Sheryl Crow was somehow involved, now that she is sans Armstrong. :^)

Mary Matalin's comment about David's 4-day Jihad against the VEEP was wonderful; I loved it!!! Couple that with Simpson's statement on Fox today, that all you get from the white house press is conspriacy, crap and confusion, and I score today a 4-star day against old media. What a bunch of pigs they are, and they are finally being taken to task for it.

I liked Matalin's point about distinguishing between Cheney's obligations to the American public vs. the DC press corps, who ostensibly act on behalf of the former.

Dowd was hilarious, playing the role of the elitist twit to absolute perfection. It appeared as though she were talking through clenched teeth, barely moving her lips, and as though she had something painful stuck up her butt.

Your tagline reminds me: How long was it between the time that Chappaquiddick Ted killed Mary Jo and the time that he notified the press?

[I got the rope]

I use to love waking up on Saturday morning reading my Caller-Times with a cup of coffee...facing the Gulf in my little apartment over on Whitecap Blvd.

[TASMANIANRED]

Matlin said they were on a jihad.

LMFAO!

Personally, I thought choosing the local newspaper was reaching out to the American people. The White House Press Corps certainly doesn't represent us.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Definitely agree, Gregory's WH press pass should be revoked. Truly unprofessional behavior.

She was probably drunk off her ass.

The video clip, including David's "apology" and Mary Matalin's blunt comments:

Ditto -- see #65!

Yes, he was defiant but I have to think that he looked like an idiot to many people watching his performance. Paul Gigot and Mary Matalin got in some pretty good licks when they questioned the priorities of the White House press corps and the fact that Cheney was more concerned about the well-being of a friend instead of the immediate needs of the press corps.

Maureen Dowd looks like she is five years away from resembling Helen Thomas. She looked bloated in the face, the corners of her mouth down turned and a bitter b*tch to the core. Yikes.

Did anyone notice the smile on Gregory face when Maureen tried to land some blows on Cheney but went way over the top. He is dumb enough to think she was scoring points. He is so tone death. I am sure he will act the idiot again. Probably by tomorrow.

[festus]

He should be banned from the White House for his unruly behavior.

Keep him around. He serves a vital purpose. He makes the press look bad.

[Right Wing Assault]

I regret that I'm a moron. I was wrong, and I'm a moron.

This just in. Morons worldwide rioting over insult by reporter.

Gregory's wife is Beth Wilkinson, an executive vice president and the general counsel of Fannie Mae. Let's see Gregory investigate and report on all of the unethical/illegal behavior at Fannie Mae over the years, including activities by Clinton's buddy Franklin Raines. To what extent, if any, is his attorney wife involved in such misconduct?

"On December 21, 2004, Raines accepted what he called "early retirement" from his position as CEO as U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigators continued to investigate alleged accounting irregularities that may force Fannie Mae to restate some $9 billion in earnings." 

[GretchenM]

Gregory takes one step to clean himself up, then wet his pants in public again.

So I can surmise he's sorry he got caught and held to account, but not really, truly sorry he spoke so foolishly.

" ... you should never speak that way, as my wife reminded me ... " --
There's a saying: Smart wife, better life. Sounds like Gregory's got one good thing going for him.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Speaking of Scott McClellan, in the words of Stretch Pelosi "We can do better"! Probably a nice guy, however the deer in the headlights look, under fire is tiresome.

[Bear_Slayer]

we are still a proxy

F@cking noble bastards! I never elected or chose them. They don't represent me and they certainly don't represent my views. If I have questions of my elected officials, I'll ask them myself, through established, respected channels.

If it were up to me, I would see most of them strung up by the neck until dead. The remainder I would put to work at hard labor.

And that's just my thoughts on a good day.
