David Gregory:
It didn’t do any harm (but then why should it?) or any goodI would have thought. I guess whenlooking for a BBC science reportermy PhD and body of work carried more weight. Do you think I should wear a tighter shirt for my next interview?

One must give David Gregory his due though, unlike Dez/Scotthe does manage to express his views here in support of his employer the BBC with some grace and intelligence, and isn’tknown to have the hots for any genocidal anti-Semitic terrorists.
H/t to David Preiser for the ‘spot’, who no doubt would wantit stressed that he doesn’t want this post to lead to any bigoted commentsagainst homosexuals in general.
