King of the White House Press Pool Stenographers to soil Russert’s Chair on Sunday Mornings
Posted By JM Bell on December 2, 2008
No one will ever fill Tim Russert’s shoes, least of all this towering AssClown who did nothing more than reprint White House press releases until years after he should have started doing his job. All this appointment would do is guarantee that I’ll be watching cable news during this hour of the morning.
David Gregory will take the reins as moderator of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Huffington Post has learned. Gregory has been a leading contender for the permanent spot since Tom Brokaw stepped in as interim moderator following Tim Russert’s death in June.
In recent weeks, a short list including Gregory, Andrea Michell, Gwen Ifill, and Chuck Todd had been considered the top candidates for the position, while Katie Couric and Ted Koppel were viewed as dark horses.
Brokaw will conclude his duties as interim moderator this weekend, when he will interview President-Elect Barack Obama.
NBC News did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
Update: NBC responded to Politico regarding this report, saying,” I don’t know where they are getting this. We have nothing to announce.” Gregory’s agent, when contacted by the New York Observer said he could neither confirm nor deny the report.
So … Meh.
