Is remarkably good.
I knew he was quick-witted from his appearances on Imus, but his morning show this week has been really, really good.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Let me file that under fuck it.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.
Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.
Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.
We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.
They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.
When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.
Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.
There is no right way to do the wrong thing.
Consistently wrong since 2002
I really should read my own blog.
We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.
“But what about the lurkers?”
I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.
I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.
Shut up, hissy kitty!
Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals
Usually wrong but never in doubt
Optimism opens the door to great things.
Fuck these fucking interesting times.

I’ve always liked DG — except for his backup work with MC Rove at the correspondents dinner, yikes — but I didn’t know he was on a morning show. Which one?

Is everyone getting a look-see in the old Imus spot on MSNBC? I think Scarborough had his shot last week and some chick the week before.
I think David Gregory is one of the better reporters and have enjoyed the times when he’s filled in on Hardball while Matthews was out.
not the senator
I’d love to see Stephenie Miller get the slot but we know the chances of that.
I could live with Gregory. He at least can conduct a decent interview which was the best part of Imus. I think a better foil than the Radio Chick would help though.

I don’t trust him. He is getting too close to the people he is supposed to be investigating, just like Russert. Sometimes he can be very good, but sometimes he just lets himself be treated just like Timmeh by DC Dick.

Agreed, MikeF. Gregory was one of my favorites for a while, and seemed willing to be combative with whoever was lying to him from the White House podium, but lately he’s seemed to close to his subjexts.

I also worry about Gregory being an enabler.
The show also came to a screeching halt over Gregory’s inability to handle a time-delay interview with Seinfeld & Rock. Granted, those are tough anyway, but when you have comedians on, you just feed them straightlines and let them riff, the same as politicians…though you are not supposed to do it with the latter.

It will be interesting to see if he turns out to be just another DC media bonesmoker, one of the boys who are in it for the luxury box tickets for the Redskins games, and the invitations to parties, and the lunches with the powerful, and the golf.
In other words, like Russert, or worse, like Matthews, who is the most shameless gusher in front of women and power that I have ever seen in a “journalist” in my life.
Oh, he has his occasional hangover and tantrum like he did yesterday, but that’s just a reaction from being drunk the rest of the time on the rush of being face to face with the powerful and the influential. The guy used to work in the White House, for crissakes. He’s one of them.

Good christ, I guess I have to turn in my Liberal/Progressive Membership Card because I thought Stephanie Miller flat out suuucked when she guest hosted. It was painfully bad. I’d rather watch Scarborough, who was much better than I thought he would be. Haven’t seen Gregory yet, but I can imagine he’d be pretty good.

There are actually two David Gregorys….
1) The one who asks tough questions during the White House press gaggles….
2) The one who shows up on the evening news to spout “news” that is little more than that days beltway talking points.
sounds like the first one showed up today.
Demdude
I’m with Kevin, liked Scarborough much more than Gregory. I think the people he was teamed with made for a better overall show.
I probably was turned off by one of Imus’ guys being there even though it wasn’t that vile producer “the bald creep”.
