“Breaking news video:” Journalists ogle Obama

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 9, 2008 03:44 PM

You know, when I read about this CNN video via Allahpundit yesterday, I threw up a little in my mouth. The clip of female journalists on a plane moaning as they watch Barack Obama talking on a cell phone was actually filed under “breaking news video” on the CNN website with the caption, “Obama in jeans: Sen. Barack Obama surprises the press corps by wearing jeans.”

Now, the video’s on YouTube. And it really should have a content warning advising viewers to watch it only on a completely empty stomach. Several members of the press corps yell at an agent to “sit down” because she’s obstructing their view. They giggle and sigh “You’re killing us” as he straddles across a row of seats and they furiously click away on their cameras.

Kneepads, ladies?

This is CNN.

UPDATE (See-Dubya):
Compare, contrast.

    This reminds me of the time President Clinton was giving some speech and that Claire Shipman looked like she was having an begins with “o” (well you get it, not sure if it’s a banable word).

    It’s so phony that in my mind’s eye, I have a vision of BHO in that same pose re-clothed in some cheesy plaid bellbottoms and an orange double-knit shirt from a 1970 Spiegel’s catalog. Now that’s Presidential.

    I don’t recall who said it, but there was a telling observation I read once which stated, “American journalists don’t see their role as informing the electorate, but to get the democrat past the electorate.”

    Anyone wondering why Senator Hopenchange has his own kind of “press pass” - i.e., why he escapes any kind of real scrutiny or difficult questioning by the “reporters” assigned to his campaign - need only watch this video.

    Donkeys - and their media proxies - don’t want a serious candidate. They want a “Rock Star.” They want to be starry-eyed groupies, hoping for a chance to get backstage and hurl their panties at the guy (or if they’re male, they want to “feel a tingle up their leg” - ugh).

    Michelle Obama had better watch out. These “journalists” would probably poison whatever she’s drinking these days — just for the opportunity to elbow, kick, scratch, claw and pull each other’s hair to see which one of them can be first in line to have the Messiah’s baby.

    The commenters protest too much. Some of the guys are going through the same issues as the Military Dad from American Beauty.

    You’re right Chap, and I don’t think there was a black character in American Beauty. Undeserving24-7 is clearly race obsessed, paranoid, and honestly quite unwell.

Don’t worry sweet wife, that insurance policy was a good investment. It won’t be long.

    It is that bad. Obama is completely unqualified, but those who infest the MSM, are simply in love with the concept of proving themselves non-racist. The moral highground that they claim to occupy can be validated by voting for a man because he is black.
    They feel they are WONDERFUL DECENT humans, and to prove it, they trip and stumble over themselves with praise and love for a black man. It proves that they aren’t racist.

    Blah Blah Blah, still a nasty rascist.

    Let me whip out my Crazy-to-English Dictionary…

    I have no reasonable response to your call out of my idiotic statement but will flatly reassert my moronic accusation in an attempt to deflect attention from my failed argument and general lack of any discernable thought process.

    That ’bout right little fella?

    Chapoutier if you weren’t so busy drinking cheap wine acting like an arrogant liberal you’d see that this statement:

    The commenters protest too much. Some of the guys are going through the same issues as the Military Dad from American Beauty.

    …seems pretty racist if you think about it and I’m sure others do too. I’m quite sure a piece of garbage like yourself could see that too if you had what they call in America, a brain.
    Alright boy, now you can run along and play and swoon for Obama’s hips or whatever.

    Except that she isn’t. But your assumptions are, nonetheless, interesting (and incredibly telling). It’s like Psych 101 (or .0001, but that’s not usually offered at accredited schools) reading these posts.

    No, it doesn’t. Even if you were mustering the most far-reaching case EVER, it (in the context of the film) could only seem homophobic, and it doesn’t even seem that. But I enjoy seeing the conservative mantra reduced to its truest form: regurgitate, regurgitate, regurgitate (even if you don’t understand the term).

    (Wipes tears from eyes.)

    So, you weren’t going to comment because it was a non-issue and commentary would be “kinda” superfluous. As you say, “sigh”. So why exactly did you comment—especially with nothing to say? Huh? Still got tears I guess. Sigh again, and now laughter!!

    You supercilious twit (goes for ALL four of you). You missed entirely the point underseige had made. Typical libs with extremely narrow vision left with no other option than to attack rather than “see”.

    psst…undrseige…its “siege.” You know, that whole i before e except after c stuff? I’ll assume you know undr actually has an “e”, but that might be a stretch.

    Psst…chapoutier…your queen is misspoken as well, can you run (skip) to her side and aid her mangling of the English language:

    “The commenters protest too much.” “Conservative commenter’s bed tonight…”

    Maybe you could supply the mighty one with a dictionary/thesaurus or some alternative to help her along. Oh, I forgot to give you and your mistress the needed correction to her slovenly language: commentators. Ding-ding-that’s the ticket!!

    This mentally disturbed little man Underserved911, calls me a racist pig(you watching Soapbox), because of my on point, jokey, movie reference concerning closeted conservatives, then goes on to come up with some convaluted reasoning for his nonsense.

    Nothing convoluted (oops! That’s right mistress, you spelled convoluted incorrectly. Shame, where’s the frenchy with his spellin’ book?) :) in what underseige had t
