David Gregory: No “Grand Wizard” in GOP to force Cain out

NBC’s David Gregory: No “Grand Wizard” in GOP to force Cain out. On the Today show, Ann Curry asked Gregory if the GOP just wishes Cain would go away. He replied: “Well there is no, you know, Grand Wizard in the party right now who can really force the issue.” Too bad there are no, you know, competent objective journalists in NBC now who can really force the issue.

  • Too bad there are no, you know, competent objective journalists in NBC now who can really force the issue.

    You mean Matt Lauer doesn't qualify? After all those "Where in the world is Matt Lauer" episodes, you would think he was an unimpeachable news source! ;-) But then don't forget Katie "I'm perky so you don't notice I'm an idiot" Couric! She has to be competent, after all CBS hired her.

    • AC, what this lawyer will cost is exactly why companies/groups settle out of court to make things go away, even if there is not much in the claim.

  • As if we needed another indication of media bias...

    The sad thing is -- this sorta messaging sinks in...I have lot of neighbors here in Hawaii that really believe this crap about the GOP...

      • The trouble is that David Gregory is too damn dumb to realize that how he asked what he asked, was in it of itself, racial, if not racist.

        Also, NBC News & "Meet the Press" died when Tim Russert assumed room temp.

        • He's not dumb. He knew EXACTLY what he said. They want to imply that the Republican party is clear full of sheet-wearing morons -- like the Democrat party, as a matter of fact.

          A real reporter would be taking him apart limb from limb for that. What am I saying -- this is NBC after all -- where good programming goes, gets ebola, and dies.

  • Wow...just wow. I mean, why don't they just come out and admit that they are scared to death of Cain and that thye will do and say anything to try and get rid of him? Isn't that in essences what she was asking..."Why don't they boot him out to avoid the scandal."

  • My God, they are just vile. And I can't think whats worse, that they are pulling this sh1t as a stunt or he they really believe it. Either way,they're not fit to do Cain's laundry. Hell they aint fit to do MINE.

    • Maybe when the civil rights movement was highjacked by the likes of Jesse Jackson when MLK was murdered. That & about that same time, the "Great Society" was implemented. Guys like Jackson & Sharpton have worked to promote the welfare state that the Dems built, but they got rich in the process. That should be the big hint, that when Al & Jesse talk about "Justice", they really mean "Just us".
