Please tell me the "open mind" characterization was ironic.

I'm not over- or underwhelmed by this pick...I guess I'm solidly whelmed. Having watched his handling of the election night mayhem, I feel like he's a solid newsman. Whether he has the stones to challenge each and every panelist he has in remains to be seen. Good luck. And yeah...I miss the restaurant...that Pork & Pinot gimmick they had going for a while was one of the best meals in the District :)

I beg your pardon, but alum is a crystal. David Gregory is an alumnus of American University. I didn't take three years of latin in high school to let such a ridiculously minor grammatical infraction such as this go uncorrected. That said, Gregory is the right choice for the job.

Gregory has some quite impressive White House press room meltdowns, including one over the Dick Cheney hunting incident, so it should be entertaining at least.

I'm just really glad that he's pulled himself together after his restaurant in the West End closed.

I second the meh. I was rooting for Anderson Cooper or Jon Stewart.
