Yep, grab the drool bucket, David. Yet again!
As Twitchy reported, David Gregory interviewed President Obama for “Meet the Press” this morning. The hilarity started early, as Twitter users wondered how a scofflaw like Gregory could pass security measures for interviewing the President of the United States.
The media can't have it both ways: either the law is legit and Gregory should be prosecuted, or they admit the law is stupid and defend him.

How did NBC's David Gregory pass Secret Service to interview Obama at White House today while being investigated for two felonies?

Heh. If they patted him down, surely they would have noticed his Chris Matthews-like leg tingle. David Gregory took to Twitter before and during the show’s airing, in a near swoon.

Big, strong, gutsy caller!
POTUS channels Lincoln when talking importance of public opinion in Washington #MTP
— David Gregory (@davidgregory) December 30, 2012
Channels. Lincoln.
Plus, he’s super dreamy! Not only did he tweet that Obama channels Lincoln, but that was one of his oh-so-hard-hitting questions.
Actual question from David Gregory to Obama: "Is this your Lincoln moment?"
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) December 30, 2012
Thankfully, he did not follow it up with “Is it hard to keep a laser-like focus without being distracted by your own gorgeous eyes?” Twitter users gasp for breath over Gregory’s sycophantic display.

Lincoln moment?Neither Obama nor the "fiscal cliff" merit reference to Lincoln. Is this a joke?… http://t.co/4Wn4nP4N

President Obama then doubled-down on Gregory’s idiocy by claiming he never compares himself to Lincoln.

Oh, really, Mr. President?
Obama just said he'd never compare himself to Lincoln. Wake up fact checkers.

The sane continue to call out Mr. Gregory for his channeling of a teen-age fan; there was some fear there for a while that Mr. Gregory would toss his briefs (or boxers?) on the stage.

I liked it when gun scofflaw Gregory softballed Obama on gun control.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) December 30, 2012
It was brilliant of the White House to get David Gregory to host this video press release. He hit just the right tone.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) December 30, 2012
.@DavidGregory puts words in Obama's mouth on #Newtown with "I know you're thinking about it" when asking about gun control. How's he know?

Liberal definition of hardball; @davidgregory fawning over @BarackObama on @meetthepress. #MTP

This #MTP interview feels like a fluff piece. Could David Gregory fawn any more?

Ronald McDonald would give a tougher interview to Obama than David Gregory.
— Philip Klein (@philipaklein) December 30, 2012
This week's #MTP proves just how good @DavidGregory is at multitasking – he can speak clearly while puckering and kissing Obama's ass.
— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) December 30, 2012
Oh, dear! Never change, Twitter. And try explaining it to the hapless Howard Kurtz, will you? He is confused by media bias yet again.
