    "Carolyn Frazier, a Northwestern law professor who often represents juveniles facing criminal charges, told me recently that her clients sometimes use the phrase "going on dummy" to describe doing something stupid, something bad, offering 'a big ‘fuck you’ to society. . . . It’s that whole frontal cortex issue: They are just incredibly impulsive; they are not thinking about the higher consequences.' Of course, not every kid behaves that way, so there’s obviously more at work. "It’s peer pressure; it’s what you see in your neighborhood, what values you are being raised with; it’s all sorts of things." Maybe, she said, "you got dummied.""Some people are just thugs," an African American friend of mine said.

    White guilt for being attacked? Makes me glad I'm not that liberal.

    I am still not sure why it's a concern whether these prisoners are "Mirandized" or not. Torture? Absolutely not. The right to remain silent and have an attorney present before answering questions? I suppose if we are trying to make a case for war crimes it would be important for criminal prosecution, but if we need to know where the explosives cache is hidden, why are we going to impede our investigation by reminding someone that they don't have to talk to us?

    Coming from these guys, none of the hostility/idiocy was so surprising. What was surprising was that Helen Thomas seemed to be sleeping through most of the press conference.

    I'm tempted to point out that the press seems to have found some sort of balls to ask a president tough questions, then I remember that the jackass who used to have the office didn't actually take questions for the first three years of his term.

    I imagine that, after the press conference was over, Andy Bernard, or Ed Hardy or whatever his name is, punched a hole in the wall of the East Room.

    @optical_allusion: Chuck Todd, too. An inane question posed ineptly. After the campaign, I want to love Todd, but his live shots are awkward and his voice-overs unnatural. I know it's early in his own White House career, but not that early.

    Ed Henry's Cuomo question would have been good if it wasn't sandwiched in between a bunch of crap.


    Is it possible to ask a multiple-part question without coming off as an irritating d-bag? I'm skeptical.

    I'm surprised that the ABC correspondent asking about race didn't make it onto this list. Questions that focus on the historical nature of Obama's presidency should have climaxed the week of inauguration and passed out promptly thereafter. I will read about his thoughts on race in his memoirs ten years from now, which is about the time that I hope to be able to afford a hardcover book again. Right now, I want questions that ask him if he's doing his job, and I want answers that replace the nauseated feeling in my stomach with a warm and fuzzy one.

    @GeraldineHyperion: Yes! I was watching him earlier during the news conference and thinking that in my world, at least, his race is no longer part of the discussion. And then along comes ABC . . .

    Multiple part questioned never get answered properly, so you almost never ask them. J-school 101?


    What would you guys have asked?

    god forbid anyone should ever have the temerity to ask Him something? because the previous 8 years of a lackadaisical press corp were just so much fun.

    @crooked_teeth: I venture to say you're not adding much to the conversation here.


    I imagine your two most satisfying options at this point are to try harder to add something substantive, or else to spend your valuable time on pursuits other than making pointless, content-free posts on websites where you're destined to be ignored.
