FRANK RICH ASKS A GREAT QUESTION

He gave Fluffy (David Gregory) the what-for over the latter's idiotic question to Glenn Greenwald:

Is David Gregory a journalist?” Rich responded, struggling to think of “one piece of news he has broken, one beat he’s covered with distinction, and any memorable interviews he’s conducted that were not with John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Dick Durbin, or Chuck Schumer.”

If Gregory had integrity and guts, he would have added that the journalist Barton Gellman of the Washington Post, who published the other set of Snowden leaks (and arguably more important ones), aided and abetted a crime. But it’s easier for Gregory to go after Greenwald, a self-professed outsider who is not likely to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and works for a news organization based in London.
