David Gregory Offers Gov. Mark Sanford Schlong Gobbling & Teabag Job on MTP

Witless sycophant David Gregory shouts his offer of oral sex to Gov. Sanford

Witless dog David Gregory shouts his offer of oral sex to Gov. Sanford and asks him to observe his eager cavity and his ears that afford ready hand-holds for the schlong gobblee.

Grinning fuckwit and Meet the Press’ battered-wife-in-residence David Gregory is not known for his insights, research or interview technique, preferring to follow the lead of dead fat fuck and former MTP schlong-gobbling MC Tim Russert whose pathetic fawning and reverent interviews of criminal monsters like Dick Cheney were the stuff of legend.

Russert, as pathetic as he was, probably never reached the depths of sycophancy and timorous, prostrate deference that Gregory displayed in emails last month to South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford’s office in the wake of revelations about his wanton pestorkabout in Argentina.

The State newspaper of Columbia, South Carolina, in successfully pressing for release of governor’s office emails, recovered Gregory’s attempt to seduce the insane babbling Sanford to come on MTP by promising to deliver a hearty suck job.

The TPM people waded through the email sewerage to dig up this gem from Gregory

In courting Sanford’s office, Gregory wrote that “coming on Meet The Press allows you to frame the conversation as you really want to.”

In other words, you can come on MTP, tell the lies exactly the way you want to tell them and the interviewer will sit there slack-jawed and happy while the governor plunges his tool back and forth in his face for the whole world to see, before wiping himself off with the interviewer’s tie. Oh, yes, it gets worse. Gregory essentially promises to help Sanford deceive America. In one email TPM reviewed, Gregory conspired:

You know he will get a fair shake from me and coming on MTP puts all of this to rest.

Nice. Sanford blows tens of thousands on excursions to pestork his mistress, destroys his family and exposes his Jesunazi creed and family values posture as complete and utter frauds, showing himself to be the kind of self-indulgent and profligate executive that would make Papa Doc Duvalier beam with pride. What’s Gregory’s instinctual response? Of course, help put up a PR front for Sanford and conspire with him to present lies to the polity. This is what journalism in America is all about!

If anyone should resign, it’s this asshole Gregory. There is no law that says a governor can’t go for a little poontango on the taxpayer’s nickel.  In fact, it would be great if Sanford stayed in office and got his own cable TV show on which he could confess to some heinous infidelity every day, just so we don’t forget what a rock-ribbed Republican he is.

But Gregory, hey, if he wants to suck cock professionally, he should get on a street corner, like a respectable hooker, don’t you think Stinquers?

So I’m watching the CBS Cronkite tribute tonight, and early on there’s a clip from a Sinatra interview, something Don Hewitt set up. Big Get.

And Cronkite proceeds to ask Sinatra about those mobsters we’ve been hearing about.

Sinatra storms off the set, but apparently Hewitt coaxes him back. And the question is rephrased to what Frank’s mom thinks about those mobster allegations.

Same question, different angle, Sinatra answers, and they’re on to the next. Cronkite says later that he got what he wanted.

So yeah, Chainsaw is right: Izzy Stone’s purity aside, nothing wrong with going to those Georgetown dinner parties, so long as you’re ready to throw some documentation in Cheney’s face.

Yes, Gregory was part of the WH press agency “corps” that let Bush II get away with anything. Useless bastard.

I know you have to use some ass-kissing and verbal (or written) reacharounds to get pols on your shows, no matter what. It’s part and parcel of the game — but this is bad by anyone’s standards.

@Signal to Noise: Or just mention you have a panel of shrinks ready to come on the show to bandy around diagnoses – though it would be cheaper and easier for Sanford to come on rather than having to listen to five weirdos speculate on how horrifically bad his sex life must be at home for him to travel 7000 miles for a fuck.

@Signal to Noise: Granted, we shouldn’t be surprised at some politesse behind the scenes, but Meet the Press? A politician requires sweet nothings to show up for a broadcast-network talk show?

Hewitt’s pitch to Sinatra, by the way: We’re offering you the chair Jack sat in, next to Walter. You man enough for it? We’ll understand if you puss out.

@nojo: there’s been a shift, obviously. when Hewitt made that pitch there were only three networks and a lot more politicians desperate for air time. with a 24/7 news cycle, the Sunday press shows are actually behind by the time they air, for the most part — their advantage is the prestige of network TV, but that’s down too. So, it comes down to who can tongue-bath the best — or at least this is my theory.

@FlyingChainSaw: now that’s something I’d like to see, and it would have been PERFECT for July sweeps.

That’s why David got the job. It’s not like NBC was going to put someone who asks impolite questions in that position lest it make the late Timmeh Potatoe (sic) Head look bad.

@Signal to Noise: You have my deference on how the biz works these days, but I thought the network Sunday advantage was not only “prestige,” but eyeballs.

@nojo: network eyeballs are still important, but the people who really, really give a hoot about the Sunday talkies have cable anyway.

Maybe gregory was planning some kinda NBCish ‘To catch a predator’ edition of MTP?

@moeman: It would have worked, too, if only he’d offered Sanford some sweet tea.
