He's probably right.

Evil		2002-02-27 02:08:21 PM

that ought to keep the little S.O.B.'s happy

very cute.

impaler		2002-02-27 02:09:06 PM

Hero!

Merltech		2002-02-27 02:09:38 PM

Tell you the truth, I probably say the same.

TheBuriedLife		2002-02-27 02:10:12 PM

Seriously. This does need a Hero tag. You can only hold back so long on those people...

fj		2002-02-27 02:10:13 PM

Too much honesty for broadcast?

Bad_CRC		2002-02-27 02:10:41 PM

Sounds like the retard we have for governor here in Minnesota.

When they can actually find him.

digitalchris		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).

messy		2002-02-27 02:10:53 PM

looks like someone needs a time-out...

mrdark		2002-02-27 02:11:15 PM

The reporter's first name wouldn't happen to be Wolf... would it?

9/10		2002-02-27 02:11:25 PM

Sometimes I think reporters go around with earplugs in their ears. This is not news.

Phishy1		2002-02-27 02:11:56 PM

That dumb Son of a biatch....

5%Nation		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?

Kthulhu		2002-02-27 02:12:34 PM

Sounds like someone's high on Skittles and hate crime...

digitalchris		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!

Quetzlgumby		2002-02-27 02:13:06 PM

He meant Dim Sunuva Beetch. The reporter was from Thailand.

Diogenes		2002-02-27 02:13:19 PM

When did Marge Schott get elected Governor?

Shuh		2002-02-27 02:13:29 PM

I wonder which party the governor belongs to?

rtreynor		2002-02-27 02:13:53 PM

He said he was sorry.

Bad_CRC		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?

stace		2002-02-27 02:14:12 PM

Sounds like that Bush comment before the election.. BIG TIME!!!

digitalchris		2002-02-27 02:14:15 PM

Dude even biatch gets translated!

Brand		2002-02-27 02:14:47 PM

People who are brutally usually enjoy the brutality more than the honesty.

Relevant? Not really.

DelayedReactionMan		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?

carrion_luggage		2002-02-27 02:15:35 PM

I appreciate being given the opportunity to post my thoughts on this disgraceful display, you stupid douchebag.

Liza Little		2002-02-27 02:15:43 PM

What? He SAID he was SORRY. Dumb sonofabiatch reporters...

Brand		2002-02-27 02:15:49 PM

Fark. That should read "brutally honest".

Irascible		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

digitalchris		2002-02-27 02:16:22 PM

ARRRGH.
Even
biatch
...

rtphokie		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.

Shuh		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.

puckhead		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?

PvtStash		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.

gtthomas40		2002-02-27 02:24:39 PM

The citizens should be outraged!

beav		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!

Quick1		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.

impaler		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.

Mierk		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.

Mas Tequila		2002-02-27 02:26:13 PM

Maybe the The Gov should get together with Bryant Gumbell for an interview. "Farking Idiot!"

icono		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!

43%		2002-02-27 02:26:54 PM

whoopedee farking doo, dumb son of a biatch.

Zaago		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?

bass555		2002-02-27 02:28:14 PM

"This just in...go to hell!"

mrdark		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...

cotb		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!

fj		2002-02-27 02:29:12 PM

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.

dahaka		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!"

Zaago		2002-02-27 02:30:01 PM

Sorry, "Faeces-Eating Monkey-Feltcher"

Typo

Vulgar

macmark		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."
