Romney's Trip Ends With A Spat With The Press Corps

NBC’s Garrett Haake reports that at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw, a Romney press secretary told reporters that the GOP candidate would likely not answer questions from the press. That meant on the six-day trip, he would have taken precisely three questions from the traveling press corps. When the pool and traveling reporters were told to return to their busses, Haake adds, a mass of reporters instead headed over to the motorcade area, where Romney was observing another monument. It was there the press started shouting questions. An example: “Gov. Romney, are you concerned about some of the mishaps on your trip?” Another: “Gov. Romney, do you have a statement for the Palestinians?” And: “What about your gaffes?” Another Romney press aide fired back, “Show some respect,” adding: “Kiss my ass. This is a holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect.” That press aide later apologized to some of the reporters, but the damage was done. You’ll recall, this trip got off to a bad start during a joint avail with British Labor leader Ed Miliband when Romney refused to take questions from his own press corps, even as he answered questions from the British press.

First Thoughts: Judging Romney's overseas trip - First Read

Romney is just a huge embarassment to us. How can the right wing defend his behavior and the behavior of those that work with him??

And YOU heard the response, didn't you? "Is there nothing sacred to you people..."?

UN fucking belivable.

Nope, all for the cause. Commies gotta stick together!

Right on. Zero sacred. Unca Joey Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Mao se Tung, Pol Pot all gave freedom the what fer...didn't they?
 
NBC? Oh, well if they say so. What a bunch of GE-owned douchebags. Like they haven't been in the tank for the Dear Leader from the beginning. This is shite. Period, end of story.

Wow!!! You people are all losing your rabbit ass minds!!! No good news about Obama is true, only Romney. Get a grip!!!
