JOHN MCCAIN: So there are many, many questions. And we have had– a massive cover-up on the part of– 

DAVID GREGORY:But a massive cover-up of what? 

(OVERTALK) 

DAVID GREGORY:–I mean, Susan Ri– wait a minute– 

(OVERTALK) 

DAVID GREGORY:Susan Rice said there was a lot of– 

JOHN MCCAIN: Do you care– 

DAVID GREGORY:–confusion. 

JOHN MCCAIN: Do you care– 

(OVERTALK) 

DAVID GREGORY: I’m asking you– 

JOHN MCCAIN: Do you care to– 

DAVID GREGORY:–what is the Republican way– 

JOHN MCCAIN: I’m asking you, do you care– I– I’m– I’m asking you, do you care whether four Americans died? Or do you– the reasons for that? And– and shouldn’t pe– people be held accountable for the fact that four Americans died– 

DAVID GREGORY: Well, what you said was the cover-up– 

(OVERTALK) 

DAVID GREGORY: A cover-up of what? 

JOHN MCCAIN: Of the information– concerning the deaths of four brave Americans. The information has not been forthcoming. You can obviously believe that it has. I know that it hasn’t. And I’ll be glad to send you a list of the questions that have not been answered, including what did the president do and who did he talk to the night of the attack on Benghazi? And why was it? Why was it that we– that the f– the people who were evacuated from the– from the consulate the next day were not interviewed the next day. And then they would’ve known that it was not a spontaneous demonstration. Why did the president for two weeks, for two weeks during the heat of the campaign continue to say he didn’t know whether it was a terrorist attack or not?

Am I losing my mind or was that David Gregory ACTUALLY doing his job, and refusing to let a politician off the hook?  I have to say THAT was a thing of beauty.

And I also have to hand it to Gregory for not losing his shit when McCain asked him "do you care whether four Americans died?" That would have been it for me and I would have ripped McCain a new asshole.

When I watched this in the morning I actually cheered out loud at this portion of the show. The only thing that would have made it better is if Gregory had said, "Are you seriously suggesting there was a coverup, Senator? Well then I have one word for you sir, 'yellowcake uranium.'"

But what he did was far better than many other journalists have been willing to do. So good for David Gregory.

Oh, and fuck John McCain!
