Oh, bite me, Chuck Todd

[blogslut]

"We" think Obama hits the golf course so he can smoke without the cameras seeing him...

Chuck Todd is a jerk.

[graywarrior]

1. He just had to get even for the little slap Obama gave him last week

[azmouse]

2. Chuckles is a petty little man.

[redqueen]

6. Spot on.

[Hieronymus]

15. Petty and devoid of personality.

[napi21]

3. So what if he smokes on the golf course?

Get over it people! If he smokes, he smokes. I seriously doubt he'll choke on a pretzel!

[WI_DEM]

4. Chuck Todd seems obsessed with Obama smoking.

[tridim]

5. He should probably work at the National Enquirer instead of NBC.

[RagAss]

7. I hope President Obama lights up during the next press conference !!

[zulchzulu]

8. Chuck sounds like a little playground girl on a tattle-tale fit

Sheesh, Chuck. Goatees are so '90s.

[masuki bance]

9. Why is he a jerk for saying that?

Obama doesn't smoke?

[niyad]

13. because he is a snarky little bastard, and that comment was snide.

[tishaLA]

14. Because it's pure speculation

and if it's pure speculation, why bother? Aren't there things like facts he can report instead? Or maybe Pres Obama should start speculating on how much ice cream Chuck eats so he can have that waist line.

18. You can't just make shit up

and report it as valid news. There was solid evidence that the Bush's were having marital problems. Did you ever hear them say anything of the sort on any cable news program?

[masuki bance]

21. I didn't see it, but the Op says he said he "thinks" he smokes

while playing golf. Doesn't sound to me like he is making shit up and reporting it as fact. Was he in reporting mode or analysis/opinion mode?

[blogslut]

24. He was in ass mode

Ask yourself, was it necessary for him to say that? IMHO, Mr. Todd wants to make the news as opposed to reporting it.

[sandnsea]

27. No reporter should be saying they "think" anything

You're giving yourself away.

[masuki bance]

28. No opinions allowed, per sandnsea. Got it. nt

[sandnsea]

29. You learn quick

or maybe not so quick.

:shrug:

Put words in my mouth before have you?

[masuki bance]

31. That's what you are saying, unless you really mean

just no opinions that piss you off.

[sandnsea]

33. You can have any opinion you want

Reporters, otoh, cannot. That's not their role.

[masuki bance]

34. ...

35. Where does that say "pull shit out of your ass"

and go on a cable news program and spew it as "inside" information?

[masuki bance]

36. Have a great day. nt

[monmouth]

10. One time a friend and I had just walked out of a restaurant and I lit

up a cigarette. This little girl and her mother were waiting for the car to pick them up and little girl says to me "You shouldn't smoke cigarettes, they're dirty, smelly and will make you sick." I was in no mood, I had recently quit drinking and had no martini or old-fashioned in me. I replied "And sometimes little girls with big mouths should mind their own damned business." I felt really good as mother and daughter harumped all the way to their car.

Chuckie doesn't like Obama,he's jealous of him as POTUS makes an ass out of him all the time. I try not to smoke, sometimes I just want a cigarette. But in any case, it's not Chuckie's or anyone elses $%^% damned business.

[Catherine Vincent]

23. LOL! Thanks for the chuckle.

I'll bet that little girl will keep her mouth shut next time. :)

[tishaLA]

11. Chuck Todd. Professional Tool

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. Todd is getting like Michael Steele!

we can add him to the joke list: OxyRush, Coulter, Joe the Plumber, Palin, Michael Puppy Steele and of course Michelle the whatever.

[Zen Democrat]

16. Jeez, there are lots of places Obama could smoke without being seen!

He could smoke on the Truman Balcony, like Bandar Bush!

I can't believe Chuck Toad feels it necessary to speculate! He must not have any substantive material to discuss today, just like every other day.

[billyoc]

17. Which don't you like, the golf, or the smoking?

:shrug:

[blogslut]

22. I don't like Chuck Todd inserting his petty suppositions

Todd is butthurt because the president refuses to allow the press to film his every move. He's no different than tabloid types that bitch and moan when a celebrity dares to cover their face.

[OHdem10]

19. That was low down way down on the part of Chuck Todd.

It made him look so small.

[Cha]

20. Who gives a fuck what gotchuck thinks?

I mean really.

25. He needs some humility lessons

From a prissy, uptight church lady.

[spanone]

26. just like chuck to go for the deep insightful stories

:sarcasm:

[LaurenG]

30. He is afflicted with the right wing mindset

Something is always wrong with everyone but them. :eyes:

[Hansel]

32. Chuckie believes his own stereotype of Liberals

that they are so controlling and anti-smoking that finding out that Obama is actively smoking would diminish him in their eyes.

Either that or he sees Obama's smoking as symbolic of post-carnal acts which excites him and makes his imagination run wild.

Either one.
