IMUS: Let's go to the White House correspondent David Gregory.

DAVID GREGORY: I'm OK.

IMUS: You can calls us later if you want.

GREGORY: [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter]

IMUS: Are you drunk?

GREGORY: [Laughter] [Laughter]

IMUS: Are you all right David?

GREGORY: India is a wonderful language and i've been learning, where's my little sheet here. I've been learning some new phrases to come home. But any way, that being one of them and i just think it's nice.

IMUS: It is.

GREGORY: Thank you.

IMUS: Having a lot of fun there. What's wrong with you?

GREGORY: I just think it's funny. [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter]

CHARLES: He's drunk.

IMUS: He is drunk!

CHARLES: Oh god.

IMUS: Why don't you compose yourself and get back to us. You want to?

GREGORY: [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter]

IMUS: What are you in some harrem?

IMUS: What? David?

GREGORY: No, i'm fine.

IMUS: We need a camera.

Oh my lord.

IMUS: Somebody's got --

GREGORY: i was -- remember that movie "Arthur" with Dudley Moore where he just thinks funny things and that's what was going on. If i could find this sheet, actually i just found it. Anyway.

IMUS: You have any news? [Laughter]

IMUS: we got to go, we'll get back to you.

GREGORY: I'm sorry.

IMUS: That's all right.

IMUS: Well, call us back will you?

GREGORY: Anyway. There are serious things going on here which i know you're very interested in.

IMUS: We don't have any time for them now. Quickly.

GREGORY: Big deal between India and the United States. The upshot is we're going to provide nuclear know-how and fuel to india which they need for their economy to grow. But since they never signed the nonproliferation treaty it's a real turn around and critics worry that it sends the wrong message to other parts of the world.

IMUS: Ok.

GREGORY: I would add, i would add that this is how you say thank you.

IMUS: What is it again?

[Speaking foreign language]

IMUS: Well that's great. But we have to go. It's always nice to hear from you.
GREGORY: I'll call you after dinner.

IMUS: NBC Chief White House Correspondant from New Delhi, India. Clearly drunk.

What a classy guy. I guess when your temper tantrums are widely panned by the public and your colleagues (Privately.) you just need to let off some steam.
 
If I had to go on Imus I'd be putting them away too.

Another :yawn: case of affirming the consequent. It's not like you could ever admit that Gregory or other WHPC regulars (e.g., Helen Thomas) are viable members of the media because they *gasp* ask the tough questions!

Let me ask you this: what is your opinion of Scott McClellan?
 
I don't form opinions on White House Press Secretaries.

They're all paid to spin whatever position put forth by their administration.

Joe Lockhart was a complete and utter buffoon the way he tried to answer questions during impreachment. However he was doing his job. Just like the Iraqi information minister.

He did it with such style though! That guy was the shit, he'd be like conducting interviews with American troops across the street acting like Iraq was winning. Good TV...

Much like how were witnessing the "last throes of the insurgency."

You leftist liberals are such fun. MUST ARGUE WITH EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING MUST BE POINT! SMASH BUSH! ARRGG!

I see you guys contrasting Saddam favorably to Bush, I see massive misinterpretation of the law, etc... look it isn't all about Bush. The guy was funny, can't you just friggin' laugh for once without launching into a tirade? However, if you must, at least try to make a coherant statement.
 
Ummmmm.... I saw the interview, and Gregory just seemed to be laughing at Imus.

Way to make another lame-ass thread.
 
So a reporter who probably just had a case of the giggles (given the fact that he was just laughing without slurring his words) as a call-in to a morning radio show is worthy of a thread because "teh Drudge said he was drunk?". Your going to have to do better than that, chunkstyle.

Actually, that was Rumsfeld, not Bush. :lol:
 
The transcript doesn't match the actual audio at all. I mean the transcript makes it definetly look like he was drunk but when you listen to the audio, his tone is such that he doesn't seem very drunk if at all. Goofing off maybe but not falling down drunk.

Don't expect him too care, I'm sure he just wants too prove "leftists" wrong, even if he mislabels them in the first place, grossly misconstrues the facts, and spouts ignorance in the process.

Gee, I could have sworn I was talking about a post AM23 made but sure put words in my mouth if it makes you guys feel special.

[quote name='alonzomourning23']When I read this (reffering to a quote from Saddam) I immediately thought of Bush, and how different this is from Bush's "It's everyones fault but mine" attitude. Hell, put bush on trial where his life is at stake and he'd probably claim Jesus did it before admitting responsibility. [/QUOTE]
 
[quote name='KrAzY3']Such maturity... when you run out of valid things to say, just resort to school yard insults.[/QUOTE]

I was only kidding. I saw the opening, so I took it.....
