David Gregory just saying the race may be about Romney's wealth. Doesn't he get it??

[gateley]

It's not his wealth, it's that he was a corporate raider and put thousands of people on the street and TAXPAYERS had to sweep up after him!

About his wealth. Jesus.

1. Ah, more cutting edge analysis from Gregory.

How does he do it?

[gateley]

5. ...

I just want to SLAP him!

8. David Gregory is an amazing binary thinker...

...which is not normally a quality one would seek for an interviewer/analyst...

Every question is black or white, yes or no, agree or disagree. He never asks "Why?"

If it's not this, then it must be that — never a shade of grey.

He loves "pinning down subjects" or asking them to "draw a line in sand"... It's infuriating to listen to him.

Maybe he really does think this way.

Or, maybe he's trying too hard to follow in Tim Russert's footsteps by setting up and gathering a library of "hard quotes" by guests that he hopes will be zingers when guests return in the future. I remember Russert pulling out zinger quotes from the past, but I don't recall his interviewing style to be annoying. David Gregory is such a desperado.

2. What's DG's salary at NBC?

Of course he doesn't get it.

3. Actually, its about hate and anger ... Newt is showing he is just as bitter and vindictive as ...

the GOP base.

That's what's happening.

[liberal N proud]

4. Yep!

That and bigotry.

[loyalsister]

6. I think he's right

That's what separates him from the other candidates in this primary.
There are republican voters with populist tendencies and he stands out as a symbol of the 1%. Newt successfully made his wealth an issue and it snowballed when he wouldn't release his tax returns.

7. There is much anger at the powerful (of every background) for their abuses.

Newt was able to exploit that in his favor. In the end, Newt will do whatever his corporate masters order him to do though.

9. No, he doesn't get it. He never has.

He is just another right-wing apologist in the "liberal" media, spinning the story, just as he's told...
