By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Meet The Press, Video

Harry Reid talks about Blago and Burris and the roundtable discusses Gaza and what Obama should do about it.

So, if Israel is still occupying Gaza by the time Obama is sworn in, what do you think the new administration’s response will be?
Furthermore, do you think Israel’s move was timed to force Obama to support the [...]

Meet The Press For 12/28/08

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Bush, History, Israel, Meet The Press, Video

David Alexrod talks about Obama’s economic agenda and Israel’s Tzipi Livini talks about her country’s recent operation in Gaza.
By the way, I think Israel’s move was foolish and will only divide the country further. I’m not sure why people continue to think more violence will end violence, but something is going to have to give [...]

Meet The Press For 12/21/08

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Meet The Press, Video

This time, Condoleezza Rice talks about her time as Secretary of State and Hillary’s future in that position.

Now, let me just say this…if Rice thinks that US is “respected” and “popular” around the world, then she’s just as delusional as Bush and I’m glad to see her go. And comparing us to China and [...]

This will be the last time I say that I think Chuck Todd would have been a better pick, but today’s MTP was pretty decent.
Congrats again to Gregory for landing the gig.

By the way, just a note to Chris Matthews and Fox News Sunday and ABC and CBS…why do you not have your Sunday shows [...]

David Gregory Confirmed For Meet The Press Slot

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Bad Decisions, Media, Meet The Press

I wrote about this yesterday hoping it wasn’t true, and today we have confirmation.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I know, I know…I sound like a big, whiny political baby, but Gregory just doesn’t have the gravitas nor the depth that Russert had. And while I understand that MTP was helmed by more newsy guys like Gregory before Russert came on, [...]

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Meet The Press, Video

If you didn’t catch it this morning, catch it now…

By the way, once Brokaw steps down…who should step in? I’d like to have Chuck Todd in that slot, but I don’t think he has the network behind him. And while Chris Matthews would be entertaining, he’s not the right personality. Too bombastic. And David Gregory [...]
