Wanker of the Day: Jake Tapper

Jake Tapper, ABC's senior White House Correspondent, has a question.

Q: Any ppl who voted for POTUS unhappy w/image of him getting frozen custard as today's events unfolded in Iran? Or bogus right wing meme?

It's hard to believe that he thinks this is a legitimate question and that any Obama voters expect him to forego sweets until Iran's election is resolved and there is peace on earth.

Does he need fifty twitter responses telling him it's not an issue before he believes it?

It's not like Obama is too busy eating frozen custard to be aware that a major city is drowning. He made a statement on events in Iran.

1. K&R. Jake Tapper has proven to be a tool.

He also likes to cite far, far RW blogs and groups and such on his blog in order to set up some faux controversy.

Even worse? I think he does this out of ego rather than ideology, so he can drive hits to his blog and twitter account.

It's too bad, really. I actually enjoyed his coverage of the primaries in that he explained on many night the nuts and bolts of the process in a very accessible way for low-infos.

3. Hoekstra overheard: "Obama eating custard, similar to Marie Antoinette 'Let them eat cake'".

5. That is easily one of the most desperately stupid questions of the day to ask

It's the 1st ever presidential run for ice cream from the WH I can recall. Tho Clinton did it a few times with Chelsea on Martha's Vineyard.

10. This guy is a total nimrod. If this is the best he can do as head of his

position in the WH, his company has some worries. How can he possibly be bored enough to post this?
