If it’s Sunday it’s Meet the Press
I have a sad little habit of falling in love with tv journalists. Yes it is true. I have been hoping for years that Tom Brokaw would leave his wife and come sweep me off my feet (picture the last scene in An Officer and A Gentlemen except I don’t work in a paper factory and my name is not Paula). For his last night as the NBC anchor I refused to go out to dinner with friends until after the broadcast. I don’t care how old he is, I love that man!!
Also on the receiving end of my adulation was Tim Russert. The day he died I got teary in front of one of my patients (who by the way did not know who Tim Russert was, I guess he was not a hero among the meth using community). It helped my grief when my darling Tom was named as host of Meet The Press in the interim.
Now David Gregory is to take over the position permanently. I have to say that while he was the obvious choice, I think that he is also the best for the job. Although I will miss seeing my beloved I will be giving David the benefit of the doubt.
Brokaw?
He spent the entire election as a McCain apologist. He constantly misrepresented poll numbers and never met a follow up question he could ask.
But David Gregory is just pathetic. I respect your right to mourn Brokaw, though.
