Munro is a political operative, not a journalist.
It’s pretty disrespectful to interrupt anybody, really.
…and the guy is trying to get out his second question but is knocked backwards with six feet of Zulu spear sticking out of his chest, whereupon he croaks, and Obama yells “That’s how we do it in Kenya, motherfucker!”.
Yeah, I know. But still…
Didn’t they get that slot when Jeff Gannon left Talon News? 
Call me archaic, but I still prefer a President I can respect for quick thinking and dignity. Don’t need any action heros in politics, thanks.
Please don’t advocate violence in our White House.
Agreed. I’ll back off any of my deeper points. I’m still just kinda “meh”, though. If you invite a jackass with an agenda to the party, don’t be surprised if he acts like a jackass with an agenda. ::shrug::
No argument there, so they shouldn’t invite him again. (And if he had a serious employer, he’d be fired.) But this is not acceptable or expected behavior from journalists, and it’s not even close. If the first rule of journalism is “Don’t make yourself the story”- well, do need to go any further?
The Zulus live a long way from Kenya.
Still giggling at this.
But in all honesty, I’d hate to get in Obama’s face. I get the idea that he could verbally evicerate you with a steady 5 minute stream of blood-chilling rhetoric that never breaks the decorum of the situation, and never rises above a polite conversational tone. Like him or not, he’s a frosty, frosty man. In fact, folks should start calling him Frosty. I bet he’d kick ass in a rap battle.
That’s because they’re scared of Obama!
Stolen! Mine, the rest of you guys back off, I stole it first!
Maybe. But the first rule of making money off reporting the news is, “If there’s no news - make it”. Always has been, always will be.
Damn, that’s depressing.
Actually the first rule is “MONEY?! WHERE???” And the second is “DO I HAVE TO PUT DOWN MY DRINK TO GET THE MONEY??”
Reporters don’t drink anymore, huffing glue is the most they can afford.
Who said anything about affording it? Credit cards exist for a reason. And so do sources and media events with buffet tables.
Wouldn’t know. Every once in a while, I get a “Don’t Even Think About Applying!” letter from Visa.
Or as the Counterpuncher-in-Chief himself said, “I will crush them.”
So does Obama, yet Republicans often seem unable to tell the difference.
He has such a friendly, open smile. Still, I wouldn’t play poker with him, I’d just give him my money and save time.
Better to be a poker opponent than a fly buzzing the man.
OTOH, if you happen to have an inconsolable baby, he’d come in mighty useful. Hmmmmmm… if only that would work on GOP Congresscritters…
