For a nickname? Since Special Ed is taken?

I humbly submit Bone Ed.

Dredging the primordial ooze of my previous life as a journalist, I vaguely remember something about it being a no-no to insert yourself into the story. It’s okay for journalists to break rules but not investment bankers? Why aren’t wingnuts outraged over this deterioration of the fourth estate? Oh. Silly me. Hypothetical money is WAY more important than that objective version of the facts we naively consider to be “truth.”

Seriously, though, outrage over AIG bonuses and $3 will get me a latte at Peet’s. Skip the outrage. Those asshats have already trashed the economy. No use allowing them to ruin my digestion….

I think that we all know what the euphemism “several provocative questions in my pocket” really refers to, and why he is no longer allowed within a thousand feet of any school.

Didn’t Ed Henry used to be that guy with the rainbow wig holding the “John 3:16″ sign? Very provocative.

Does Ed Henry always write in unrhyming couplets? And who could have guessed that a reporter’s recap of the time he got to ask the president a question would be so uninteresting?

Time for a nickname contest?

Too bad “Special Ed” is already taken. Maybe “Munchkin” works…(”I represent the lollipop kids, the lollipop kids, the lollipop kids…”)

From just a few feet away, I could see in his body language that the normally calm and cool president was perturbed.

“perturbed” might be a little strong, Eddie. Looked to me like the Prez was swatting away a gnat. Geez.

So the exchange was a great political Rorschach: Each party saw their own talking points in the reflection of the back-and-forth.

Does he have any idea how utterly meaningless this makes his “journalism” appear? If anybody can interpret reality any way they want, you haven’t done a very good job of presenting reality, have you?

Wow, that’s some serious reality inversion; O’Lielly would be jealous (if he wasn’t such an egotistical blowhard that can’t consider anyone else as out-doing him. Except Crazyboy Beck that is).

It’s always the self inflated puffballs that overlook their own smallishness and want to be big.

(Just picture him with his arms in the air, exclaiming “I’m a Big Boy now!”) Feels right, don’t it?
