He's probably right.
 
2002-02-27 02:08:21 PM
that ought to keep the little S.O.B.'s happy

very cute.
 
2002-02-27 02:09:06 PM
Hero!
 
2002-02-27 02:09:38 PM
Tell you the truth, I probably say the same.
 
2002-02-27 02:10:12 PM
Seriously. This does need a Hero tag. You can only hold back so long on those people...

Too much honesty for broadcast?
 
2002-02-27 02:10:41 PM
Sounds like the retard we have for governor here in Minnesota.

When they can actually find him.
 
2002-02-27 02:10:51 PM
Hmm. Sounds like that reporter was a dumb son of a biatch.

Of course it would be more newsworthy if someone found a news anchor who WASN'T a dumb son of a biatch. (or daughter, as the case may be).
 
2002-02-27 02:10:53 PM
looks like someone needs a time-out...
 
2002-02-27 02:11:15 PM
The reporter's first name wouldn't happen to be Wolf... would it?
 
2002-02-27 02:11:25 PM
Sometimes I think reporters go around with earplugs in their ears. This is not news.
 
2002-02-27 02:11:56 PM
That dumb Son of a biatch....
 
2002-02-27 02:12:31 PM
Were the senators mentioned at the end disgusted by the Goveners response, or by him swearing at the reporter?
 
2002-02-27 02:12:34 PM
Sounds like someone's high on Skittles and hate crime...
 
2002-02-27 02:13:05 PM
Oh SURE you can put biatch in a headline, but in the comments it MUST be changed to the much more politically correct 'biatch'. It's for the children!
 
2002-02-27 02:13:06 PM
He meant Dim Sunuva Beetch. The reporter was from Thailand.
 
2002-02-27 02:13:19 PM
When did Marge Schott get elected Governor?
 
2002-02-27 02:13:29 PM
I wonder which party the governor belongs to?
 
2002-02-27 02:13:53 PM
He said he was sorry.
 
2002-02-27 02:13:56 PM
Why is it always the republicans who do such dumb shiat, while hypocritically preaching their "moral superiority" to the world?
 
2002-02-27 02:14:12 PM
Sounds like that Bush comment before the election.. BIG TIME!!!
 
2002-02-27 02:14:15 PM
Dude even biatch gets translated!
 
2002-02-27 02:14:47 PM
People who are brutally usually enjoy the brutality more than the honesty.

Relevant? Not really.
 
2002-02-27 02:15:23 PM
Something tells me the Governer is a Republican, since all the comments came from Democrats.

Ah media, always careful to ensure everyone gets their say.

Either way, who cares?
 
2002-02-27 02:15:35 PM
I appreciate being given the opportunity to post my thoughts on this disgraceful display, you stupid douchebag.
 
2002-02-27 02:15:43 PM
What? He SAID he was SORRY. Dumb sonofabiatch reporters...
 
2002-02-27 02:15:49 PM
Fark. That should read "brutally honest".
 
2002-02-27 02:16:17 PM
I think it was PJ O'Rourke said that it was the press' job to chase after whoever is in power so they can catch them saying "fark" on camera.

I would have enjoyed it more if my Gov. have been a bit more colorful. Something like "Pansy assed, farkstain." That would have been newsworthy.

Cheers
 
2002-02-27 02:16:22 PM
ARRRGH.
Even
biatch
...
 
2002-02-27 02:16:42 PM
So the Republican gubner makes a dumb mistake and who does the media interview, the head of the state's Democratic party.

Partison politics sucks but the media sucks worse.
 
2002-02-27 02:19:45 PM
But is this enough to get him re-elected? Bush only called one reporter an "asshole," and he only narrowly won.
 
2002-02-27 02:22:53 PM
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry you are a dumb son of a biatch"



btw, didn't Bush Jr. do the same thing at some rally during the election?
 
2002-02-27 02:23:32 PM
HELP PLEASE.
I am trying to post a PIC for photoshopping
I am using PHOTOISLAND and when I put the pic up for auction it is way to small, what am i to do.
Homestead is blocked by the proxy here.
 
2002-02-27 02:24:39 PM
The citizens should be outraged!
 
2002-02-27 02:24:42 PM
Completely and totally offtopic:

Does anyone have a link or know where I can find that pic of the fat guy in the kitchen drinking down a bottle of beer? It popped up in the comments quite often a few months ago, but I can't find one in the archives. Throw it up in here if you can. Thanks!
 
2002-02-27 02:25:43 PM
Sounds like the retard we have for governor here in Minnesota.

When they can actually find him.


Funny, that's the first thing I thought of, too.
 
2002-02-27 02:25:54 PM
Seriously though, journalists are like cops when it comes to protecting there own. Insult one, and the rest will skew stories and quotes to present you in an unfavorable light.

They report this shiat as if it's actually news. Why? This is someone who was too dumb to take any other major in college besides journalism. He appropriately gets called a dumbass, and it makes the papers.
 
2002-02-27 02:26:13 PM
Haha!

Proud of my wittle gubner.

Yeah, I'd probably say the same thing if some dicklicking reporter asked me the same question 4 times.
 
2002-02-27 02:26:13 PM
Maybe the The Gov should get together with Bryant Gumbell for an interview. "Farking Idiot!"
 
2002-02-27 02:26:16 PM
I live in Wisconsin and I am a liberal make no mistake, but McCallum hasn't done anything that I would consider extremely bad I might not vote for him but he is better than Thompson. He is a moderate but what the hell! WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT OUT LOUD!

whoopedee farking doo, dumb son of a biatch.
 
2002-02-27 02:27:57 PM
I am sorry, but "vulgar"?

Dumb S.O.B. is not "vulgar"

Faeces-eating monkey-fetcher is vulgar, and all those words pass censor.

WTF is this world coming to?
 
2002-02-27 02:28:14 PM
"This just in...go to hell!"
 
2002-02-27 02:28:20 PM
Puckhead

Yes... similar circumstance, but Bush said the reporter was an a$$hole... to which Cheney replied, "...big time!"

Reporters are such easy targets...
 
2002-02-27 02:28:53 PM
Mytwocents: You are not alone! My local news actually padded their broadcast one apparently slow news evening with video from somehwere across the country of a squirrel that had been trained to sit on a skateboard. Talk about gripping. I haven't watched local news since (except for school closing announcements). My local paper did that report one better by printing a story that AAA has reported gas prices are the same this month as they were last month. Wow. I smell Pulitzer!

Why would he say that AFTER the interview? He should have called the reporter a dumb son of a biatch right after he was asked the same question twice.
 
2002-02-27 02:29:17 PM
" You keep coming back to the same question. I keep responding the state hasn' t done that. You have got false information, " McCallum said.

I would be pissed off, too. Reporters do this all the time - and it irritates me just to watch the poor interviewee say "no... no... Oh for "Bob"'s sake, NO!"
 
2002-02-27 02:30:01 PM
Sorry, "Faeces-Eating Monkey-Feltcher"

Typo

Vulgar
 
2002-02-27 02:30:52 PM
This is great, even better would be if politicians were honest all the time.

reporter-"Why won't you answer the question?"

politician-"You rephrased the question 3 times now you farkstain, if you ask me again I'll kick your ass!"

reporter-"uh,"

politician-"Yeah, that's what I thought college boy."
