We don't have a single problem at all with the conduct of the reporters at this endorsement meeting held by the Willamette Week . They asked the candidates running for the Republican Senate nomination to attend a group interview; about an hour in, one of the candidates, Joe Rae Perkins, was giving a very long answer over a phone line, and reporter Nigel Jaquiss apparently was tired of it -- he started writing "blah blah blah blah" in his notebook. Another candidate, Mark Callahan, saw this, and decided to be chivalrous, standing up for Perkins and her constitutional right to have every single word carefully transcribed by each reporter in the room, which is what the First Amendment is all about, after all. It's right in there next to the part about how no one on TV can lose their job just for expressing their personal opinion.

That&#039;s a real beaut, there, Dok.
Well he has to get airtime somehow. Though being a Grade-A douchecanoe is not usually a good way to do it if you&#039;re trying to get support.
Didn&#039;t reporters covering Santorum have to write blahs?
<i>whining that the whole ordeal was being run by &ldquo;thin-skinned liberals&rdquo; who were just not being fair.</i>
The hurt - it is strong in yer butt, huh?
Chivalry? Dead. Stone dead.
Right-wing victims are never buttheads - any negative reaction they get is due to their purity.
ISWYDT! Chicken_thief, any comments?
