OMG CNN Jake Tapper... To Speaker Boner....

[rsmith6621]

Not Verbatim

Context.... Biden was heading back from Rome and Obama had just departed to Israel.

....Tapper... For 20 minutes you were the highest ranking elected official on US soil for 20 minute so you were in effect the POTUS.

Boner... No the President is the President..


God how horrible does this crap have to get??? before it gets better.... Tapper is a TOOL.

1. What a fucking idjit....

[liberal N proud]

2. It is a wonder that Trapper didn't have an orgasm on screen.

It is a FOX wet dream

[Ikonoklast]

3. The POTUS is still POTUS no matter where he is on this planet.

Tapper is a bootlick trying to curry favor.

[NightWatcher]

13. Oh yea, but what about when he's asleep

or when he's in the shower or stuck on the jon? Is he still the...

What an idiotic thing for a reporter to ask.

[EOTE]

4. How big of an idiot does one need to be to be told off by the Boner?

Fuck, when even Boner realizes you're a republican shill, you need to step back from the kool aid.

[City Lights]

5. Tapper has been sucking up to the GOP for awhile.

But that's over-the-top even for him!

[Tarheel_Dem]

6. I won't give Tapper as long as Spitzer. At least Elliot was smart. Tapper? Not so much. nt

[msanthrope]

7. At least Boner didn't go all Al Haig..."I'm in charge, I'm in charge!" nt

[Control-Z]

8. This may be the first

truthful and honorable thing out of Boner that I've ever heard. See the way I just capitalized his name? It is an unusual show of semi-respect for a man I loathe.

[Canuckistanian]

9. God, what an idiot

Does he also think if Obama is taking a crap, Biden becomes the POTUS?

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

10. I thought what he said was extremely odd...

Any high school social studies student could tell you that political power does not "shift" or "elevate", regardless of where on the planet the President or Vice President is!

I turned the channel back to MSNBC after 2 minutes of that GOP love fest. Tapper was giggling like a school girl when Boehner criticized Obama for his remark about being in Israel away from Congress.

11.

The failure of J-school to produce knowledgeable journalists is frightening. That people actually listen to this no-talent assclown is nothing short of horrifying.

[llmart]

12. I actually wouldn't put the blame on the schools....

The media that we have in this country today is not in the least bit interested in qualified journalists. What they want are people who will do their bidding. I'll wager a bet that there are plenty of terrific journalism students out there who can't get jobs.
