Among the Beltway courtier press, few have a more prominent perch than NBC's David "Dancin' Dave" Gregory. When he's not dancing with Turdblossom Rove at a black tie dinner, he's tossing softball questions at the likes of Rethuglican Senator John McNasty or Rep. Paul "Lyin'" Ryan. He's as much a part of Washington's incestuous media / political cocktail circuit as anyone can be. He also apparently thinks he can tell his neighbors what to do.
When a private residence on his street was selected to be this year's D.C. Design House exhibition, Dancin' Dave had a hissy fit about the clogged traffic and parking situation. Reportedly waving his arms and shouting on the lawn of the residence, Dancin' Dave invoked his status and informed the shocked designers and guests that he knew "all the politicians in town." One designer described Dancin' Dave's display as "very public and immature."
Yes, Dancin' Dave does know "all the politicians in town", and that's a problem for anyone going about their lives who happen to inconvenience the self-important host of Press the Meat.
