    It's entirely possible that it only requires one hand to do justice to Toure. They're about four inches wide, on average.

    Said it once before, but it bears repeating: Twitter makes the smartest people sound like self-involved numbnuts. Except for Susan Orlean. She always sounds adorable.

    11th Commandment: Thou shalt not assume that a "Vaio" is always a laptop.
    Now, as for the one handed beauty, something about "carpal knowledge."

    @Uncle_Billy_Slumming: I don't know about the outsourcing policies of other websites where you comment, UBS, but here on Gawker we're usually expected to finish our jokes ourselves.
    Although you still get points for the 11th Commandment.

    Of course you're right, Skahammer. I was just so taken aback by my own obnoxious persnickitivity that I couldn't handle it, couldn't finger it out.

    so...does this ridiculous explanation's self-aggrandizing tone and obvious "i will continue to do this incoherent thing i am doing" conclusion basically guarantee obama will not call on him for a long, long time? i really hope so!

    I'm mainly just terrified by the thought that Wolf Blitzer is so worshipped over at CNN. The man is an unoriginal hack who does nothing but regurgitate conventional wisdom and inside-the-Beltway bullshit.

    Ronald Reagan had Sam Donaldson to ignore and, when the mood struck, to slap down and make look ridiculous.


    Ed "Chipmunk Cheeks" Henry is Barack Obama's Sam Donaldson, the latest in a long line of Presidential chew toys.

    After giving Bush a free ride for 8 years, the press decides to man up and hit Obama even if he's doing okay. Such fricking bullshit.

    Eugene Robinson had the best description of what happened to Ed Henry.


    "It's like you're guarding Kobe Bryant and he comes down the court and does a 360-reverse slam in your face. The ball bounces off your head as you comes out of the net. Kobe has made you his bitch. And instead of slinking away to the bench, you stand up and acknowledge the cheers of the crowd.


    You got owned, dude."

    Sure...attack the pudgy attention-starved CNN reporter.


    It doesn't change the fact that Barry was pretending to be outraged at the AIG mess for his own political cover last week.

    @crooked_teeth: The point is that Henry, and the dozens of reporters like him, are more interested in being the story than asking real questions.

    A prime example of this has been the endless tape-loop of outrage stories on AIG. CNN, MSNBC, FOX, et al prefer to do sensationalistic pieces that play on people's basest emotions rather than do real investigative journalism.


    Henry is so isolated in his bubble that he actually talks openly about "making" the news with his stupid gotcha question. When I think of all of the real questions he could have asked...what a douche.

    Dear White House print reporters:


    It is okay to, once in a while, walk up to a White House TV news correspondent, step on both of his shoes so as to hold him in place (get help from a fellow pencil, perhaps a photojournalist if need be, but really it shouldn't be much of a struggle), and slap him across the face several times using your reporter's notebook, shouting all the while "DO YOU FUCKING KNOW WHO ED FUCKING MURROW IS, YOU FUCKING POMPOUS POMADED JACKASS OF A HUMAN GODDAMNED BEING, YOU ALLEGED JOURNALIST, YOU CUR???!!!"


    We will thank you in advance for doing us this righteous solid, and yes, you might be charged with assault and battery, but wasn't it worth it? Yes, you'll think as your fellow newspapermen/women applaud your being escorted out of the room by federal police, yes it was.


    Trust us.


    Love,


    Americans

    It's really great of Ed Henry to take what could have been a simple blog post describing his side of this exchange and make it into an Epic Tale of How Fucking Awesome He Is. Otherwise, I might have just thought he was an attention-hungry, self-fellating fool more concerned about how he's perceived than the actual salient issue of whether Obama's response had any validity to it.

    @Restorationista: thank you. i am fine with serious criticism, and fortunately, i think our president is too.


    but this man has inherited a SHITLOAD of BULLSHIT and the press is trying so hard to pull him down in any which way they can. and, no, not just FOX NEWS, but every single outlet besides HuffPo. can we just try, for a few months, to support the man we elected in such historic numbers?


    we're all playing for the same team here. finally.
