Are you gawddamned kidding me?!
Look, I get it, Brokaw was killing MTP. I know that in his "attempt" to be fair he overdid the whole Right-Wing friggin' stance on everything; and that this was the last thing that the American people wanted, but you do not fix that by going even further to the Right.
Jeebus, NBC. What.Are.You.Thinking!!??
David friggin' Gregory has killed your 6 pm programming with his "Race to the Whitehouse" show, AKA "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue." Now, you really want to put the last nail in the coffin of MTP?! You really want MTP to die with Tim?!
Admittedly, I loved Tim Russert. I really did. I cried for 3 days when he died.
I just think that the talent to choose from was a much greater pool than the likes of gawddamned David Gregory. Any friggin' body would have been better.
My vote was for Phil Donahue or Bill Moyers. At this point though - anyone but Gregory would do.
Jeebus. It feels like the end of an era.

I agree Anjha, pretty lame choice. I was kind of hoping for Chuck Todd, he would have been more impartial.
Even Charlie Rose would have been better. Donahue, Moyers, and Rose all are bright, articulate people, who ask intelligent questions. Instead, MTP goes for the white pastey King of the Cocktail weenie crowd.

The one who danced with KKKarl Rove! (right?)
Yes, the same KKKarl, who is writing a book naming names. Think he will divulge the name of Jeffrey's main squeeze?
David Gregory is so impressed that he knows the Bushs on a personal level. What he doesn't know is that Lee Atwater was never considered more than "hired help." Make your own deductions.
I like Chuck Todd, too and I think that if Tim were to have picked his own replacement it would have been Chuck. Chuck was clearly being groomed by Tim, anyhow. Tim was teaching Chuck and David Shuster "the ropes" as he saw them and I think that they are both pretty good. I know that people have issues with all of them...but as far as the "talking heads" go, I think that Shuster and Chuck Todd are a couple of the best. I have watched Shuster take apart some of the right wing blow hards and their strawmen.
Well, I don't think Gregory would have been Tim's first choice, to say the least. Any thoughts on why Gregory, other than the obvious?
Over the last 8 years, Gregory asked a couple good questions of Bush, but during the election, he was a dork, and boring as hell when they made Tweety and Olberman sit on the sidelines. Don't like 'im. But then, I don't watch MTP all that much.
I don't even know who David Gregory fucking is. Which, considering your comments, is probably good.
Now Charlie Rose? I'd actually watch him host MTP. He'd replace my hour of Gordo Petersen & Inside Washington/John McLaughlin.
