overheard in passing

You know why they’re mad, right? You know why David Gregory did everything but need a diaper change on national TV the other day?

It’s because a small-town reporter at the Corpus Christi Caller-Times got the story before they did. David Gregory needs a binky because the adorable Kathryn Garcia got the story before he did.

The media coverage you’re seeing now is a classic press corps vanity tantrum. The story is no longer about the Vice President or Harry Whittington or his injuries or any kind of perspective on the incident itself. It’s all about how Cheney handled the press. The story is all about them–when they knew, how they were informed, how many people knew before them, how they can correct this so they’ll know more in the future.

I’m looking forward to the info-graphic on NBC Nightly News, which shows exactly where David Gregory was as the shooting drama unfolded.
