Romney aide loses cool with press

Richard Gorka, traveling press secretary for the Mitt Romney campaign, lost his cool with reporters shouting questions at the candidate in Poland on Tuesday, telling the press to "show some respect," "shove it," and "kiss my a**."

- The site is similar to the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery, so the histronics of the media were unusual. You'ld never see American media acting that way in Arlington and it would be even more surprising to see foreign media acting that way there. You can tell my the stupidity of the questions, "what about your gaffe?" that they aren't serious or pertinent either.

- I notice that CBS didn't write out the context of the clip, as stated by the unnamed aid: that the unidentified American "reporters" were yelling at what the aid characterized as a sight that was holy to the Polish people. Because CBS didn't bother to give that context, there is nothing to refute his assertion and the reporters don't bother to do so. One complained that she hadn't had a chance to ask her disrespectful question in a disrespectful manner at some less disrespectful location. As though that justifies her and her colleague's bad behavior and lack of professionalism. As a campaign manager, I would be taking the aid to the woodshed for saying KMA and for not presuming he would be reported, right before I had it engraved on his office door. With all the time CBS has saved not providing any useful information here, it is free to go report on something the least bit relevant to the decision about who to elect as president or our teetering economy.
