Tim Russert, Where Are You?

David Gregory may be a nice enough guy, but on Meet the Press, he’s a pussy.

He’s given way too many passes to visiting politicians when questioned on their own damned words.

Today he asked Minnesota governor Scott Walker about his comments during a crank phone call when he said he admitted thinking about bringing in outside troublemakers to aggravate state capital protests.

Walker hemmed the issue by saying something like “We rejected that.” Instead of pouncing on him and drilling him about the fact that he was even thinking about bringing in troublemakers, Gregory let him slide.

Jesus….I don’t know if there’s some kind of “I promise I won’t be too mean” protocol on MTP, but regardless, it’s pussy journalism. Ask the fuckers your questions, and when they dance around it and do everything but answer the damned thing, tactfully crucify them for being flakes and pussies.

That Walker even considered bringing in outside troublemakers is reprehensible. If someone else in his administration brought it up and he rejected it, he should say as much. He didn’t.
