WARSAW—A Mitt Romney aide told reporters to “shove it” Tuesday morning after the American press corps here shouted questions at the presidential candidate.

As Romney was walking away from Pilsudski Square toward his vehicle, reporters asked him about his string of gaffes and whether he had any comment for Palestinians, some of whom took offense at the Republican’s suggestion Monday in Jerusalem that Israel’s economy is superior because of cultural advantages Israelis enjoy. Romney ignored the questions and got in his car.

But his traveling press secretary was furious.

“Kiss my ass, this is a holy site for the Polish people,” said aide Rick Gorka. “Show some respect.”

Gorka than told a reporter to “shove it.”

12. That's on the same level with "there's no fighting in the War Room!" ...

4. sure would be nice

5. Well, they're covering it in regular rotation on CNN...!

The RMoney people are trying to tamp it down. It's not working.

13. good

It is absurd that our press lets politicians walk all over them. "We won't let you have any access. yada yada yada". It is bullshit that it usually stops there. If the press had any bravery or integrity they would find a way to write articles anyway (perhaps even better ones) - it's not like access guarantees anything of substance, you know?

6. They are melting down.

The GOP has suffered another body blow with Romney.

10. cnn reporter said they were some hundred yards from the 'holy site'

[siligut]

14. Right, since when is the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier a holy site?

Gorka just an idiot on so many levels and the press isn't helping by repeatedly calling it a holy site too.
