Who will be replacing David Gregory as moderator so I can watch without getting chest pains?

Sponge Bob Square Pants would be a good substitute. Or a turnip.

I would love to see Rachael Maddow handle this one. I am not sure I can watch with DG. I loose too many TC screens.

That might be interesting. All I ask is for David Gregory to fact check and challenge, even when he agrees with the person making a statement.

Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks FR hosts for another interesting week, we appreciate your efforts.

Hey, guys-think you could get Gregory to ask any of his guests about "We Will Not Be Silenced"?

I get that ignoring anything that negatively reflects on Obama fits with your politics, but given the ratings,maybe,just maybe, you should hop off the bandwagon.

I don't think this is going away. The media got away with ignoring this during the campaign, but I doubt very much that they can get away with ignoring it now. there is too much 'there' there.
