"Yet the debate playing out in the blogosphere, cable airwaves and on talk radio pits the Vice President against an allegedly left-wing, overly cynical, prissy White House press corps in a tizzy because it wasn't the first to know and angry because it hates the President and Vice President anyway. This is nonsense. If you believe an accidental shooting by Vice President Al Gore would not be met with the same press scrutiny, I think you are not being honest with yourself. Have you Googled transcripts from the Clinton administration at the height of the Lewinsky scandal?"

So writes the obnoxious David Gregory, attempting to rationalize his behavior in the White House press room this last week. Nice try, Mr. Gregory, but it's not flying here...that dog just isn't going to hunt. Gregory's self important arrogance, couched in his complaint that the public often does not get enough information from this administration, is just too much to take. He is obviously perturbed that the public does not get enough information about the administration from HIM. And that is likely to be more the case in the future. His behavior this last week in the press room (nothing new by the way if you watch the briefings regularly) is hardly likely to lead to the administration seeking him out to distribute any earth shattering news.

And the comparison to the press and Lewinsky? Give me a break.

Sox Blog thinks he may have wrongly judged David Gregory.

Hugh Hewitt is appropriately more skeptical.

All I can say is that I find Gregory personally offensive, and the mute button on the TIVO control is a very handy thing to be able to depress the instant he begins cackling during a White House press briefing.
