I made the mistake of tuning in to watch the preening airhead hackitude of Mr. David Gregory on Meet The Press this morning, and I would like to offer the following open letter to that pretty boy T.V. fraud:
Dear Mr. David Gregory,
While I never thought much of Tim Russert, watching your performance of utter hackitude on Meet The Press this morning was a shameful disgrace.
You are an unwitting (or perhaps "witting") tool of right wing Matt Drudge framing in every "issue" you speak and every question you ask.
As a gibbering buffoon with nice silvery T.V. hair, it is clear that you don't understand that issues and frameworks are embedded with bias in the linguistic frameworks by which they exist.
Since you're a moron, I'll spell this out in easy to understand language -- when you repeat a certain code-word -- we'll call it a "WINKYDINK" -- the word slants and distorts the debate before an answer can even be given.
Your WINKYDINK is "pro-abortion." To wit, here's your question:
Chairman Steele, both of you as Catholics, should Notre Dame have a pro-abortion rights president get a degree and address the graduates?
"Pro-abortion" is your WINKYDINK, you dancing media clown.
"Pro-abortion" works like so, you buffoon:
Pro = "in favor of"
Abortion = "abortion"
rights = "the rights of"
"Pro-abortion rights" literally means protecting the rights of those who love abortions.
You have literally tarred the President as cheering for abortions. As such, you are every bit the corrupt hack with silvery hair you appear to be.
In your follow up, you remove "rights" and simply make this about loving abortions:
MR. GREGORY: Chairman Steele, there are Republicans like Newt Gingrich, who's out there saying this is the most pro-abortion of any American president.
Firstly:
- What the FUCK does this question even mean? Even if a clown like Newt Gingrich said it, why is this a relevant question? Does anyone on earth think Obama loves abortions? He's "pro-abortion"???
- "Some people say" is the most disgraceful of questions in the media, for the very act of asking it legitimizes it.
- Newt Gingrich has been divorced twice. If the issue is Catholic belief, why are you citing someone who has personally violated one of the central tenets of the Catholic faith to criticize a President for speaking at a Catholic campus?
- Has Obama been divorced? Has Obama ever had an abortion?
You, David Gregory, he of the sonorous voice and silvery hair who is clearly on T.V. because you're an ambulatory photocopy of the Andersen Cooper waspy "journalist" out of central casting of the 1950s, are a total and complete fucking hack.
Here you go again with "pro-abortion":
MR. GREGORY: Let me ask you this: Is the Republican Party open to pro-abortion right candidates in the way that Governor Kaine has survived in the Democratic Party?
I've never been "pro-abortion" in my life, but I believe it should be legal. I don't hope that anyone gets an abortion, but it's not my right to tell them they can't under penalty of the law.
Why is this so fucking hard to understand?
You questions are embedded with bias, Gregory, you stupid piece of shit. How hard is it to frame something without sounding like a lobotimized Matt Drudge?
No one is forcing you to frame questions this disgracefully.
No one is forcing you to cite a former House speaker who resigned in incompetent collapse in 1998 after foolishly impeaching the last democratic President over nothing, without mentioning ONCE that he's a partisan hack who has smeared democratic presidents for decades.
No one is forcing you to cite "pro-abortion" when referring to the pro-choice movement.
Finally, you never once mention the right wing media framework that amplifies and echoes these stories of faux outrage into the national discourse.
In your simpleton mind, Fox News doesn't exist. Matt Drudge doesn't exist. Right wing hate radio doesn't exist.
You treat these "protests" of Barack Obama at Notre Dame like they formed spontaneously out of thin air by regular people. And this is, perhaps, the most shameful of all of your hacktastic crapitude on T.V. this morning.
If you had any shred of real journalism under that silvery actor hair of yours, you would realize that the story is right wing media engineering "outrage" to try to slow down Obama's effectiveness.
The issue is not, and has never been "abortion," just as "taxes" weren't behind those ridiculous tea parties.
If you had any ability as a journalist, you would grill Michael Steele on whether these "outrage" stories, pushed by Limbaugh and the right wing media empire, are attempts to slow down a popular president.
THAT is the story, you preening fraud.
And from here, you just got more pathetic:
MR. GREGORY: Let me move away from the issue of social issues and let's talk about national security and where it divides these two parties. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in some hot water this week.
You know who's in "hot water" this week, you dumbass? DICK FUCKING CHENEY. It's becoming obvious that not only did he authorize torture before the legal hacks he hired to write up phony opinions had come through, but did so for the purposes of trumping up evidence to justify invading Iraq.
But is this the story of the week to you, Mr. Gregory? Of course not.
It's Nancy Fucking Pelosi.
She's taken on the CIA, saying she was never actually briefed about the use of interrogation techniques like waterboarding. She accuses them of misleading the Congress. They have pushed back saying that wasn't the case. Why does this matter, Chairman Kaine, in the overall debate over "torture"?
I won't even get into the fact that torture is provided in quotes in your hack transcript, you hackish piece of shit.
Why is Nancy Pelosi the "story" on Meet The Press, Gregory? Why isn't the fact a Vice President authorized illegal activities to justify the invasion of a foreign country not the story?
And this was a deconstruction only of the first ten minutes of that disgraceful performance on Meet the Press, Gregory, you empty suit.
I'll end with this "question":
MR. GREGORY: One of, one of the more outspoken members of this debate was the former vice president, Vice President Cheney, who has spoken out in was no violation of the law. But there's a political matter here as well, and this was the Washington Post headline this week: "As defense of Bush administration policies and said there was no torture, there Cheney Seizes Spotlight, Many Republicans Wince." Chairman Steele, did you wince when the vice president was out talking about all of this?
I winced, Gregory.
I winced watching you spew nonsense on my T.V.
You are a disgrace. Go fuck yourself.
Sincerely,
WinSmith
