Note To “Stretch“: We apologize in advance if you find this post “polarizing.”

UPDATE: Gregory is also a Hillary Duff fan.

    you’ll be back. frankie too.


  4. Menehune says:

    I’m here all the time, Joe. I am entitled to think a story is silly and pointless. It’s America, g-d it!


  5. Bobwurst says:

    Besides, Clinton danced too!


  6. linda says:

    the point of this is to remind dancing davey and any msnbc who mosey by, that the dfh contingent hasn’t forgotten dancing davey and his white house partner, karl rove, making moves with each other.

    and in the process demonstrating how closely coordinated their moves are …


  7. mary says:

    Clinton isn’t a ‘journalist’. Any footage of Walter Cronkite dancing?


  8. raynman says:

    So let me get this straight… Mary J Blige is Karl Rove in disguise??…


  9. LividLib says:

    what no crotch grabbing?
    no breast expose’?


  10. mary says:

    These days even the so-called journalists seem to think that it’s more important to hob nob with the newsmakers than it is to ask them hard questions.

    we know.


  12. Xisithrus says:

    Well, this certainly wont help Rove sell his memoirs.

    little known karl fun fact:

    he was a nude figure model in his college art class. it’s true.


  14. Menehune says:

    Hey Joe,
    I’ve now posted three times and you’ve posted four or five–and none of these posts are relevant to the topic. I’d say that pretty well proves my original point that the “topic”, i.e. dancing reporters is silly.

    if it’s so silly then why are you still here? are you a silly person?

    (btw did you see my comment about karl? i think it’ll sell his book. what do you think?)


  18. Roket says:

    That wasn’t silly, that was weird. How about that whirling dervish routine? Yuck.

    But. Can he dance and chew gum at the same time??

    dave gregory can do many things. but not that.


  20. grover nerdkissed says:

    “stretch” can go cheney himself.

    neither is grego the dancing bear. But that was your point, right? perhaps the point of the thread is that, much like a marionette, the msm dances while the bushistas pull the strings?


  22. OxyCon says:

    Gregory looks like he’s dancing to Tony Snow’s flute playing.

    #21, justasking,

    More than being PC, a tall white doofus is trying to earn double brownie points by dancing to the music of a black woman, known as a double dipper.

    I would rather rock out to Muse, Map of the Problematique.


  24. SP Biloxi says:

    Is David preparing himself for Dancing With the Stars next year?

    Oh I don’t know what my point was. I know that you were just pre-empting the Clinton-obsessed trolls but I’m tired of the way that crap like this is what makes the news. I wish the ones that call themselves journalists would aspire to making the news with in-depth hard-hitting investigative journalism – not dancing with entertainment stars. But perhaps that’s just me.

    Now if he was up there singing with Stone Sour’s lead singer:

    “How will we ever live this down?!” maybe I’d be impressed.

    This post would only be silly to those who haven’t paid attention to Gregory’s continued acquiescence to his corporate overlords over the last few years. On a recent panel discussion (CSPAN) he tried to dyss Helen Thomas, Dan Rather, and Marvin Kalb for being too “partisan” when questioning Presidents and their lies. He is the perfect White House shill for our conservative MSM corporations.

    Careful, now….he could someday become the permanent anchor of the NBC Nightly News.

    That position has POWER, INFLUENCE, and is a lever of REVENGE!!!

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!


  29. wisedup says:

    Maybe you should just DO YOUR JOB, Dave….forget movies,book deal etc. Now get to work,you have much to do.

    Frank: “Uh… wtf is the point of this story?”

    I think there is a point – when I was young, we had Walter Cronkite. Now, we’ve got silly a-holes like David Gregory. Our mainstream media is a disgrace.


  31. Bonnie says:

    That’s way more than I ever wanted to know about him.


  32. pablo picasso says:

    24 – thx! laughter is good following tears

    “I’m here all the time, Joe. I am entitled to think a story is silly and pointless. It’s America, g-d it!”

    What is YOUR point? Does every submission have to be a 5 alarm fire? If you don’t like it, don’t post. Pretty simple.


  34. msgurl says:

    Let’s focus people!!!
    The guy can dance…he has serious rhythm and coordination “for a white guy”. This isn’t about the latest hard charging political question. It’s about Mary J performing and David Gregory being caught jammin’. That’s all folks. Nothing else to see here.
    Btw, I luv it. He’s normal, he’s enjoying the hell out of a great song and he’s doing it well! A very good look :-)

    David Gregory has turned into a real ass sucker since being paid off (or blackmailed) by Rove.
