Obama sends press corps off on snipe hunt, slips off to secret meeting with Hillary
Greg Pollowitz, National Review "Media Blog"Posted at 9:27 PM last night. It's about 9:30 and Dan Abrams of MSNBC has "Breaking News" of a secret meeting between Senators Obama and Clinton at Clintons' mansion in D.C. He said the Obama press corps is "in the air" right now and was somehow tricked into leaving Obama in D.C. without press coverage. Way to go, guys! What did they offer you to get on the plane? Free twinkies? Update posted at 10:03 PM last night: The exact words used by Dan Abrams to describe how Sen. Obama ditched his press corps: ...the Obama press corps is in the air, as we speak...as I mentioned before a bit of a bait and switch on that press team. They did not know that Senator Obama would not be on the plane. The next thing they hear is that Senator Obama is actually staying behind to meet with Senator Clinton. If this Abrams report is true, I wonder how the Obama press people feel to have their guy lie to them and steal their stories? I imagine they're sounding a little like a character in one of those Lifetime battered-woman-of-the-week movies: "He's a good provider. . . . He just gets a little upset now and then. He really didn't mean to hurt me. . . . Of course we still love each other. . . ." FWIW, Fox News is saying the meeting is not at Clintons' house, as MSNBC is reporting, but at an undisclosed location. Maybe Dick Cheney is moderating the discussion? Posted by: Mike 2008-06-06 |
