I guess anything would be better than Andrea Mitchell, right? Politico reported moments ago (file photo): The plan to anoint Gregory is not final but will be as soon as today, the executives said. NBC spokespeople refused to comment, saying the network would make the announcement. The decision was made by Jeff Zucker, president and chief ...
Wev
Shakesville —
David Gregory has reportedly been tapped to take over Meet the Press. Wev. Call me when it's Gwen Ifill. Or anyone else who isn't just another straight white guy.

'Very good, ...

David Gregory To Host Meet The Press (While Hiding From It)
JustOneMinute —
David Gregory's ascension to the throne vacated by Tim Russert may be announced today, according to the Politico . David Gregory took a pass on his role in the Valerie Plame case back in 2007 and will no doubt continue to do so. But with the possibility that a Scooter Libby pardon will make news, please indulge me while I publicly puzzle a couple of points: 1. Former White House press spokesperson ...
