David Gregory Calls Imus, Drunk?...
Video here. I link, you decide…....
2:07 pm [ Quote ]
Strike two David.
I think this is a good time to submit resumes to NBC News.
2:27 pm [ Quote ]
Gregory is now and has always been a propganda minister for the DNC and the left. He is no journalist!
By the transcript it is hard to say Gregory was drunk, he was talking and acting in a bizarre and weird way, but I think it would be very hard to say he was absolutely drunk or drinking.
Let us simply consider the obvious since the Cheney shooting incident and today, Gregory is mentally and emotionally unbalanced and needs serious, urgent care.
2:27 pm [ Quote ]
If not drunk then Gregory just comes off as a retard. Better to go with the “Sorry, I’d been slinging G&Ts all night” excuse than “no, I was stone cold sober and an idiot.”
2:28 pm [ Quote ]
He didn’t sound drunk to me. Just goofy. Emotionally unbalanced seems more accurate, as Umnu said.
2:32 pm [ Quote ]
Um you should listen to the video then.
2:36 pm [ Quote ]
I think he’s high.
2:40 pm [ Quote ]
He’s got the giggles.
2:46 pm [ Quote ]
He’s not drunk, he’s stoned.
2:47 pm [ Quote ]
He doesn’t sound drunk
He sounds like he’s stoned (high)
2:50 pm [ Quote ]
Don’t go by the Drudge transcript. It has numerous mistakes which make Gregory sound even less coherent. Listen to the video posted here and the audio clip at Drudge.

Off-topic,
Timely article on the significance of Bush’s visit to India and Pakistan.
3:08 pm [ Quote ]
I briefly spoke to Robert Bluey at Human Events Online and told him that I thought Gregory was high.
3:10 pm [ Quote ]
I could not agree more with “Bob the Drinker.” The claim that he was drunk is not an accusation; it’s his only defense.
Anybody remember Alex Bennett, a radio guy (sort of a Stern precursor)? He used to tell his callers “Namas Te” which, he would explain, means “I see the God within you.” Memories of my youth!
3:12 pm [ Quote ]
Remember, following the leftist “chickenhawk” logic, you aren’t allowed to give your opinion of David unless you are a) opposed to drinking, or b) are, in fact, drunk yourself. Otherwise, you’re a drunkenhawk, or something.
Or maybe not. The logic’s kinda hard to follow.
3:18 pm [ Quote ]
I think he’s high.
Probably hanging out with Rush again.
3:35 pm [ Quote ]
Ian, since when do you know how being high feels? First hand experience?
Anyways, it is impossible to judge whether he is high or drunk from the video. If I had to choose between the two, I’d say he is high, but if he were trully a pothead he wouldn’t act so stoned, that’s for sure.
3:38 pm [ Quote ]
If I were his boss I would be more concerned if he wasn’t drunk. If I were David I would take the drunk defense real quick! I guess this explains everything!
3:39 pm [ Quote ]
Rush doesn’t get high, he gets doped up. Big difference.
4:22 pm [ Quote ]
That Explains Alot …
David Gregory—by far the most arrogant of the Whitehouse press corps—talked with Imus this morning in what seemd to be an inebriated state….
4:45 pm [ Quote ]
David Gregory was a hoot. He had the giggles & temporarily lost his cue sheet. Thoughts ran through his bright head how hilarious a situation he was in and he lost it. Happens to me all the time.
P.S. Imus calls everyone drunk almost every day, including Charles his indespensible sidekick.

NBC Gone Wild – Unhinged White House Reporter David Gregory Calls In To Imus Drunk?...
We all know NBC’s David Gregory for his hatred of the President and his desire to make news rather than report it, by acting like a pouty baby in the White House press room… but this story is just weird…....
5:07 pm [ Quote ]
Perhaps Mr. Gregory was doing his Ted Kennedy impersonation…good thing he wasn’t calling in from his car
5:07 pm [ Quote ]
Dick Gregory is a jerk and child like…likes think he is important.
He should be taken off the White House media…just too arrogant and thinks he can run the war, the government, etc; rates along with the Hollywood bunch who “know” so much.

A Few Quick Hits…
Justice Ginsberg takes a nap. The graphic is priceless. —- When Moonbats Teach. Parents learn to homeschool. —- I don’t know what to make of this, but is Massachussetts really about to legalize, um, doin’ the dog? Just tell us…..
5:44 pm [ Quote ]
The boy’s been smoking crack again. He was warned about that twice before.
6:53 pm [ Quote ]
I’m waiting for the news conference in which he agrees to answers all my questions about him being drunk. Don’t try to cover it up David or I will accuse you and NBC of conspiring to keep the information from the American people. Come on David answer my questions, don’t be a jerk. Ha ha
7:03 pm [ Quote ]
I was NOT drunk, now I demand that you take it back! Don’t call me drunk when I wasn’t, it’s rude, I’ll get drunk when I want to, thank you VERY much. MMMkay? Brian Williams was tickling my back, that’s all and I demand that you take back all the bad things you said about me you heathens!
Signed,
Dave Gregory.

Rush doesn’t get high, he gets doped up. Big difference.
My bad, he must’ve gotten some outta Bush’s secret stash
9:22 pm [ Quote ]
Sure Dave, just as soon as you take back all the partisan attacks and disrespect you have shown to our President. You heathen…
11:33 pm [ Quote ]
David Gregory is a buffoon and an idiot.
But was he drunk or high? Who cares. Imus is a (dry) drunk himself.
11:52 pm [ Quote ]
Anyone seen Orange County… this whole thing just sort of reminded me of the scene after “Shaun”’s brother Lance(played by Jack Black) comes out of the burned down Stanford Dean’s building in his underwear and says some stuff and then says:
“I was just trying to help you.”
Shaun: “By setting the building on fire?”
Lance (Jack Black): “I was high.” (In a sincere voice like this was a legit excuse)
Shaun: “You’re always high. You’re a drugged-out Ioser.”

Drug of Choice?...
Presumably, we can expect a full-on rant from drug abuse expert Lawrence O’Donnell later today, after NBC White House correspondent David Gregory’s bizarre behavior on the Don Imus Radio show yesterday morning which led the host to ask Gregory if…...

Ian, you guys are so pathetic. What earthly proof do you have that he was drunk or high?
12:17 pm [ Quote ]
What earthly proof do you have that he was drunk or high?
Drudge and Michelle Malkin said so so it must be written in the Bible somewhere
4:47 pm [ Quote ]
I’ve been high, and so was David.
CLEAR AS DAY.
The audio is proof, compare it with other recordings of him.
6:21 pm [ Quote ]
David Gregory is an ass – a bully and should be taken off the air. We turn to another channel as soon as we see his smirky puss!
6:53 pm [ Quote ]
That Drudge transcript is wrong. It doesn’t match the audio or the video clips on the net. I’ve tried to fix it on David Gregory’s wikipedia entry. It is a more accurate text.
8:52 pm [ Quote ]
HE SOUNDS HIGH AS A BIRD, PROBABLY HAD SOME BHANG BEFORE DINNER
I THINK ITS HILARIOUS
11:14 pm [ Quote ]
In recent weeks David Gregory has proven to be an embarassment on more than a few occasions!
He should be fired!
3:42 pm [ Quote ]
NBC has a lousy lineup anyway on the news – puke reporters and mutts – DG is a classless dickhead like all of the NBC group – go FOX!
7:57 am [ Quote ]
DG et al worried that Cheney went hunting 3-5 hrs. after drinking a beer on vacaion. DK was near blitzed on-the-JOB in a zone that was so dangerous that it had three deep layers of security. Anything could have happened and NBC and Americans couldn’t have depended on him. He’s an ass on any continent.
2:20 pm [ Quote ]
well well
all this time I thought Gregory’s hobby was his ass tunneling project on the I-man.
He now seems to have broken new ground-I mean bud-on his trip to
India.
5:00 pm [ Quote ]
Its exactly why I watch FOX!
10:41 pm [ Quote ]
I think he mixed alcohol with ‘medications’, and I’m not talking about prescription medications.
He doesn’t sound altogether drunk, or high. He sounds like he’s mixed the two inappropriately.
He’s under the influence of both.
3:37 pm [ Quote ]
i think you guys need to get drunk. You all act like you’ve never had a good laugh in your entire lives. losers.
2:19 am [ Quote ]
Bush will go down as the worst president ever. He’s igniting a people’s revolution! One hundred million poor ready to take their country back!
8:53 am [ Quote ]
Ok people…time to get lives…because one person says to another “are you drunk?” it now becomes a big deal?? There is NOT a left-wing conspiracy under every rock or journalist. Neither is there a right-wing conspiracy…oh wait…we do have Bush-Cheney…on second thought there is a right-wing conspiracy!
9:24 am [ Quote ]
From the petition:
“In the past month, Mr. Gregory has become part of the stories he is supposed to cover. This is not the proper role of a journalist..”
I’m assuming you have similar petitions against Robert Novak and Judith Miller , then? No doubt you took quick action when it was revealed that the White House had allowed Jeff Gannon/Guckert repeated press access?
Yeah, I thought not.
9:40 am [ Quote ]
I see a refreshingly honest, brave journalist who happens to exhibit the same frustrations most of America has with this secretive, mendacious, incompetent mis-administration. He deserves a medal, not a sacking!
10:16 am [ Quote ]
David Gregory is the essence of conscientious reportage. I admire him for reporting on all the licentiousness within the current administration.
12:18 pm [ Quote ]
All the attention just because a guy puts a little quail tranquilizer in his buddy.
I think maybe one millionaire reporter should have been enough to cover this. The rest should be trying to find the serial killers in the fascist middle east. Take Katie too.
12:37 pm [ Quote ]
My, my. What a sorry bunch. If a reporters questioning of that annoying, mealy-mouthed little man McClellan is of infinite importance, considering all the crap spewing forth from Duh-Dubya & Co., you hacks have ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS. Seems to me you idiots are upset that someone dare try to get the truth for once from of this pitiful administration. You right wing freaks are just so pissed off that Clinton did in eight years what the neo-con facist right-wing hasn’t been able to accomplish in 20 years. From where I sit, seems to me the only things the GOP can do right are run up record deficits, antagonize the crap out of the rest of the world with “wanna-be cowboy” tough-guy swagger (just a cover for cowardice), eliminate civil and women’s rights, cater to corporate America while pissing on its working-class citizens and the Constitution and worship the almighty dollar above all else.
12:53 pm [ Quote ]
I for one am deeply proud that my (millionaire) vice president enjoys shooting wingless pen-raised quailtards, hand-placed in the brush and then flushed out for him. Impressive.
1:31 pm [ Quote ]
Also, if the Imus call is all it takes to label someone a drunk, what MUST we think of the president’s constant speed-freak facial twitching, word slurring, and the bizarrely mangled sentence fragments that pass for communication?
3:28 pm [ Quote ]
Drunk is the only way I’d ever talk to Imus. And anything short of a hard kick to McClellan’s nuts is showing remarkable restraint. It’s the press secretary’s job to take tough questions; quit yer whining.
3:49 pm [ Quote ]
Helen said, “Dick Gregory is a jerk and child like…likes think he is important.”
Dick Gregory: African American comedian and activist.
David Gregory: NBC reporter.
2:54 am [ Quote ]
having watched every press briefing for the last 12 monthes, the reality is that dick gregory is one of the few reporters asking tough questions and insisting on an answer. if you have the intelligence of the average 5th grader you should easily understand that the reason he is raising his voice is because McClellen will not give a straight answer. how about focusing on the point of the question not how its asked.
4:08 am [ Quote ]
How could anyone be criticized for “sounding” drunk when Bush almost always sounds like he has “fallen off the wagon”, so-to-speak. The nazis are clearly worried because the press is finally starting to stand up to this corrupt, warmongering administration. And they’re worried because even they can sense the coming power shift in DC.
7:37 am [ Quote ]
This morning on the Today show Gregory interviewed a Bush basher (Caraval) and a supporter (Ingram). He constantly interupted Ingram as she was trying to make a point, but never interupted Caraval.
8:24 am [ Quote ]
David Gregory is main stream media, main stream media is not into Journalism. Main street media is hell bent on bashing George Bush in anyway they can, at any cost. The White House press core should be eliminated and TV and Radio can cover the White House without any stupid journalist questions.
8:43 am [ Quote ]
An alcoholic?
A bully?
Can’t communicate?
Not professional?
Doesn’t listen?
Sounds like presidental material to me.
Come on folks, we have bigger issues.
8:51 am [ Quote ]
His interview on Today was terrible. I turned off the tv, which is a shame as I like the show. Matt Lauer would have handled it right. I cringe when I see he’s on there and Katie really seems to like the guy. Can’t imagine why. I won’t watch anymore if Gregory’s going to be on Today.
9:09 am [ Quote ]
Well the A-hole Gregupdemsass, did it again! He simply can not interview anybody, without pushing his liberal adgenda. NBC needs ti fire his comy ass!
9:37 am [ Quote ]
Only if Fox fires its entire staff for pushing the conservative agenda.
(I think you meant “commie,” but hey, spelling is for Eastern academic liberal eggheads.)
9:40 am [ Quote ]
Gee Bob, liberal and comy? You don’t usually hear those two words together. I think the communists (all the power concentrated at the top) have more in common with the conservatives than the liberals. As for the name calling and obscenities, I understand you’re venting but I think you’re making a case for the liberals by showing your lack of articulation.
9:42 am [ Quote ]
From upthread: “Perhaps Mr. Gregory was doing his Ted Kennedy impersonation…”
.. or his Laura Bush impersonation. If you start dragging out skeletons to defend the Bush clan, you’re gonna lose, and you know it.

“I think you’re making a case for liberals by showing your lack of articulation.”
Not to mention your bizarre ass fetish.
10:35 am [ Quote ]
Talk about lack of journalistic integrity. How about reporting what really happened…both sides of the incident. Scott McClellan personally insulted David Gregory within an professional setting. The unfortuante thing is that Gregory fell prey to McClellans trap. For your webiste to misrepresent this incident and to attack someones charcter (i.e suggesting he was drunk without factual evidence of such) is wrong. You have an agenda and it is very clear that most of the people buying tee-shirts from your website share that agenda. Sleep well.
11:38 am [ Quote ]
This is all very simple. Dave is a liberal fool who got what he asked for. The only thing worse is trying to defend this dumb ass!
12:32 pm [ Quote ]
What’s really simple is Bob G’s evident ass preoccupation.
12:33 pm [ Quote ]
Got what he asked for? A lame website with a weak smattering of unintelligible buffoonery?
4:42 pm [ Quote ]
You suckers are all wacked. So much anger. Melanie Smith, who has too much time on their hands? We think you do. How much time did you spend on that junk rant? Chill out and go take a swim in the Euphrates. Face it, there are no great leaders in either political party. You have to go to the military to find the great leaders of today who, after we’re done mopping up the serial killers
can start deporting the anti-americans here at home. God Bless a free and strong AMERICA. Bring our enemies to their knees and help the weak to stand up!

Kingpin, since you use the royal “we” I am fairly certain your crown is made of tinfoil. Does it block the radio waves that tell you to shoot the neighbor’s dog? ‘Cause that would be handy.
2:13 pm [ Quote ]
What is lost in Gregory’s confrontation with McClellen is why did Cheney leave the scene of the shooting? Why did he not go to the hospital, THAT DAY? Why were police turned away THAT NIGHT? Cheney, who admits to drinking and has two convictions for drunk driving, behaved like a drunk driver who, when involved in a traffic accident, flees the scene in order to avoid accountability. I completely understand Gregory’s frustration at what appears to be some sort of cover-up. Was Cheney intoxicated that day? We will never know. Regards
