OK, here is the thread where I beat up on David Gregory. He did call Santorum a demagogue to his face on MTP, which was nice, but he did it with such a ridiculously big grin on his face it lost all its punch. Hey, Gregory, Santorum IS a demagogue, why water it down with a "hehe hehe" I'm just kidding attitude?
I couldn't agree more Amy B.
Gregory is a disgusting excuse for a moderator. I cringed when he referred to The President as 'the guy'......while giving undue respect to has beens and wannabees...titles like Gov, Mr. Speaker, Senator........
I hadn't watched Gregory in a while, and Sunday was a stark reminder why!
Amy and liberals want faux journalist moonbats like tingly Chris Matthews and egomanicall Rachel Madcow, 24/7 on NBC, the Obama reelection network..
David Gregory doesnt have much of a future at NBC...he actually on occasion acts like a journalist and hits both sides.
The problem is Gregory does not want to lose viewership, guests, and most of all ratings, plus I suspect he leans to the Right. What happened to the good old days when we had a free press that played a real watch dog role?
Dubya/Rove were the worst with screening, staging, and softball questions (Jeff Ganonnon). And look at MSNBC, and how they have difficulty getting Republicans on their shows unless it's a raving lunatic like Joe Walsh or Marsha Blackburn. The Teapublicans are all playing Sharron Angle/Sarah Palin game of just avoiding the media as much as possible so as not to be exposed for the crazies that they really are. Thank goodness for other ways to expose them.
I also have to say, Peggy Noonan makes me sick. I practically gagged when she purred over how great it is that she, a conservative Catholic, and Mr. Dionne, a liberal Catholic, are on the same page regarding religious freedom and how Obama's original proposal to require Catholic employers to provide contraceptive coverage for their non-practicing employees threatens it.
I've Googled for an hour and I cannot find any record of Peggy Noonan defending the right of Muslims to open a center in Manhatten last year. Not only did Mr. Dionne defend the principle of religious freedom, in the case of the Ground-Zero mosque, he defended President Bush against criticism of his Christian rhetoric:
"Well, let me give you an example of something I once did, which is that I, you know, a lot of people said that President Bush was using Christian rhetoric in a way no other president ever had. And I wrote a column which quoted the president of the United States, quoting St. Paul, we are all part of one another, and went on and on. And I said you don’t like it that your president talks like that? I pointed out all the quotes came from Bill Clinton back in 1997. So I have been willing in the past myself to stand up for conservatives I disagree with, you know, Lord knows, I disagreed with President Bush, when I thought there was an unfair attack being made on them. And so I think in this case, there is a need to really break with some of this stuff."

Interesting transcript.....The hypocritical thing that is the GOP and their faux religious freedom thing......Religious freedom only applies to their version of beliefs.
Noonan is a nobody who rambles on and on saying nothing, but thinks that she is profound!
Noonan absolutely gets up my nose, as you can see.
The really sad thing about Noonan is she has been considered a real journalist, not a Shock Jock like Glenn "False Prophet" Beck, Limbaugh, Savage, etc. from Hate Radio, or Bill O'Really and Sean Insanity of FOX State News. Why is Noonan throwing away her credibility?
Here is new 'Programming Note' from "Progressive Power Productions" (PPP). It is another bone chilling episode of "Darth Rove." AKA. Karl Rove. The GOP/RNC Master of "Madness and Misinformation." Little "Darth Rove" is very excited that his protocal son "Sanitarium Santorum" is coming to visit his "Chamber Of Horrors" located under the "Nazi News Network" AKA. Fox News.
"Darth's Son Visits"
Scene One opens with "Santarium Santorum" confidently enters the chamber and walks up to the pit of fire.
"It is so good to see you my son!" Announces a smiling "Darth Rove."
"Why did you call me your son Karl??" Asked a confused Santorum. His face turning pale.
"Oh! You were too young to remember my son" Replied a laughing "Darth Rove.
"I am a Catholic! I believe in God! I grew up in a Blue Collar Family!" Replies Santorum starting to turn red faced.
"Darth Rove" jumps up from his throne yelling."I am your God! You have no other God! I own your soul forever!" Karl then starts shaking his puggy fists in the smelly tea ridden air.
Santorum starts too weep, and as his eyes start to turn to a blood red.
"Never mind! I now want to talk about your strategies to win the GOP Nomination in Tampa." Ordered Karl opening up his father's book on "Cultural Wars."
Scene One ends with beams of fire flaring from "Darth Rove's eyes into Santorum's already blood filled eyes. Suddenly Santorum goes into a severe bone chilling mental trance.
Scene Two opens with Santorum's eyes turning to red hot fires.
Santorum then responds in a cold robotic monotone voice. "Yes my master. I will continue my Grandfather's Cultural War on America."
"That is good to hear! Now tell me how you plan on continuing your campaign." Orders "Darth Rove" pointing at Santorum.
"I plan on attacking the President on all Cultural issues. I will continue to call the President a Moslum. A terrorist. Not religious. Against all religion. Not American." Explained Santorum still speaking in short monotone phrases.
"Excellent! Now go out there and lie as much as you can about the President. Lie about the Obama's religion, ethics, and motives." Ordered "Darth Rove" standing up off his throne, and pointing his cane of fire at Santorum.
Scene Two ends with Santorum shaking his head in agreement with "Darth Rove."
"Yes my father and master of our mission too spread madness and misinformation everywhere we go." Giving "Darth Rove" a KKK solute, and walking in a slow trance towards the chamber door. Santorum walks up the long stairs to the "Nazis Newsroom." AKA. Fox News.
Suddenly! "Sanitarium Santorum" wakes up out of his trance, and his eyes turned back their normal color.
Santorum questions to himself. "Who was I hear too see??" He leaves the building scratching the ashes from his eyes.
The End!
Wow Progressive. You're quite the playwright.....talk about lil chamber of horrors, but that's the Rovian Way!
I would not vote for Rick Santorum.
