It turns out that the Daily Caller reporter who posed a question to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is a junior in high school.
Gabe Finger, who is a junior at the Potomac School in Maryland, questioned Carney about reported death threats against George Zimmerman and his family, following up by asking if the family is on their own.
You can editorialize all you want, and Im sure that you will, Carney responded. But that is a ridiculous statement.
Finger, who told POLITICO that he is 16 years-old, posted the tweet below soon after the exchange.

(25,035 posts)some such lame thing or make a joke or both.
Don't get me wrong, the question is goofy as fuck (and junior faux seeming) and I wasn't 5% of that dumb at 16 but saving the brutal truth and the zingers for the professionals seems to be about the right balance to me.
I don't much give a shit in the big picture but we are talking a dumb kid in a world of at least as silly questions and phony scandals stupidly asked about over and over by jive reporters on TV everyday.
