Ed Henry, visibly hurt, strikes back: "He used a teleprompter!!"

[Uzybone]

Fuck you Ed.

[babylonsister]

1. He's 'visibly hurt'? For real?

Suck it up, Henry! And he didn't use a teleprompter when responding. What a moran.

[Uzybone]

6. He looked hurt to me

and to be clear Ed was talking about the opening statement, not the smackdown. But its pretty clear the "teleprompter" is a full blown media meme.

[SpiralHawk]

33. He looked like a chubby, overpaid Republicon propaganda puppet to me

These corporate media functionaries pretending to be 'journalists' are pathetically transparent.

[MadBadger]

2. When did he say this, and what was the context?

[Uzybone]

5. Just now on CNN

he was saying how Obama showed some anger and how it may not have been apparent to viewers but he used a teleprompter for his opening remarks.

[eleny]

7. It was apparant, Ed. BFD you little twerp

[ClusterFreak]

9. Jesus, Ed....

...Presidents make prepared marks all the time....

Even Chimpy...who usually had a little binder waiting for him on the podium, and he'd read from it instead of a prompter.

[goclark]

28. Don't forget the earpiece ~

[otohara]

47. What Does Teleprompter Have to Do w/ Smack Down

Obama handed Henry?

[Avalux]

3. Sure Ed - he's psychic!

He knew what you were going to ask hours before and prepared the response ahead of time!:eyes: :eyes:

[CTyankee]

35. Actually, this was one case where Obama probably DID have a response just waiting to be

used, since I am sure he has heard this criticism many times. I know I have.

This was one of those cases where Ed Henry should follow the courtroom lawyers dictum about never asking a question that you know for sure what the answer will be...

clueless media outsmarted once again by Obama, the master chess player...

[Thrill]

4. more proof, that MSM tries to push RW memes

If Gregory wasn't enough

[PhilosopherKing]

8. Does anybody have Ed Henry's email?

I'd like to ask him if that shitburger that Obama gave him to eat tasted good.

[eleny]

11. Good one!

[Cha]

14. Here's a cnn comment line..

24. Here's CNN comment webmail.

[FailureToCommunicate]

40. Thanks for the link. Ed Harris: What a maroon.

[rhett o rick]

44. Looks like CNN is trying to compete with Faux Noise for the idiot viewers. nm

[FailureToCommunicate]

46. Sorry, meant "Ed HENRY"

[Solomon]

10. The stupid ass is claiming that he trapped Obama in

not answering the question! :rofl: I kid you not! He claiming that he made Obama uncomfortable and that he showed that Obama didn't want to answer the question and he didn't.

What a joke! The guy just had his ass handed to him on world wide TV and he's claiming victory.

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

12. Walk it off, Ed.

Put some Tussin on it.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

16. ROFLOL

[NikolaC]

42. LOL

:rofl:

[uponit7771]

45. LOFL!!!!

[AlCzervik]

13. life is hard Ed, get a helmet.

[HopeOverFear]

15. that asshole brought up Obama's daughters

that was unacceptable.

[FailureToCommunicate]

22. Agreed! I hope he is MIA at the next press conference.

[CTyankee]

37. He did? When was that?

It sounds just appalling...

[jberryhill]

17. Yes, Ed, and you read a prepared question.

However, he didn't read his answer to your prepared question from a teleprompter, so I guess that puts him one up on you, dipwad.

[Supersedeas]

23. on some many levels -- Lou Dobbs little minion made a fool of himself tonight

[ericgtr]

18. Obama's response to him was perfect and nailed Henry

A good reporter can take it, Henry is a tool. CNN was trying to make it sound like Obama was angry when he was just direct.

[graywarrior]

19. This teleprompter thing is prompting me to tell a few fuckwits I know from

NH that they are stupid fuckwits. Seriously, this is all they have.

[FailureToCommunicate]

20. Ed Henry's question was WORSE than Chuck Todd's, and that was hard to do!

What a maroon.

[FightingIrish]

21. Ed should be thrilled. He has gone from a name I

couldn't put a face to to the media asshole of the week.

[Canuckistanian]

25. No way! He really said that?

If so, he's a spineless sack of shit.

Teleprompter? Really?

That's the sum total? That's all they've got left for a zinger, a devastating riposte, a crushing blow?

My God, that's pathetic.

[Phx_Dem]

26. He spent 15 minutes answering each question without fucking teleprompter.

Ed, you asshole.

[Median Democrat]

27. Did Ed Henry Brag About His Brilliance Again?

He seems to like to make himself the center of the story, and he likes to point out how brilliant his questions are.

[mikiturner]

29. Wow, how petty

If someone could provide a quote, that would be great. And what show and approximately what time. I'd like to catch it in reruns.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. I'd like that too. I don't remember the stuff about the O girls.

[alcibiades_mystery]

43. He said "leaving the debt for YOUR children"

as if Obama was sticking it to his own kids.

I don't consider it too big a deal, but he did bring up Obama's kids that way.

[rucky]

30. Ed could benefit from a teleprompter.

or did he stay up all night thinking about his one question for Obama? Zing! Swish! Neeeeowwww. Ka-boom!

[Jennicut]

31. Ed Henry = whiniest man on a television news network

[Supersedeas]

54. i'll call him a close second to Lou One-Issue-Wonder Dobbs

[appleannie1]

32. Yeah, like he knew beforehand, what people would ask.

[bigwillq]

36. I do not get why

using a teleprompter is such a big deal. Can someone please enlighten me? :shrug:

[CTyankee]

38. It isn't. The media is trying to stir up shit where there isn't any.

They are failing, of course. The American people don't give a FF about Obama using teleprompters. This makes the media just look silly and irrelevant...

[ErinBerin84]

39. Jeeze, that sure seems like the talking point, doesn't it.

Joe Scarborough tried to make it seem like he was saying Obama did well last night, but of course had to wrap it in "Watching Barack Obama use a teleprompter as much as he did in press conferences, leads me to wonder why George W. Bush didn't do the same thing over the past eight years." And while they said he was charming, Mika warned "It's SCARY that someone can just SMILE and have a press conference like that, while we QUADRUPLE the DEFICIT. We need to KEEP asking the TOUGH questions!"

[ShortnFiery]

41. Joe and Mika need years of psychotherapy. It's painful to watch their delusions & neuroses play out

on National Cable TV every damn morning - so I stopped watching Mourning Ho Jo over 3 months ago. My life is much more enjoyable when I don't wake up to wanting to slam a baseball bat through my TV Set. :evilgrin:

[ZombieHorde]

48. What is wrong with a teleprompter? nt

[ej510]

49. Obam took Ed Henry's balls from him last night. Ed was fucking humiliated

in front of millions of viewers and his peers.

[Libby2]

50. LOL!! Yes, he did.

[ShortnFiery]

51. Obama was not being cruel, but old Ed just would not let go and had to ask a second time.

Ka-BOOM! Lesson: Rephrasing the exact same question may not be a wise idea.

[Touchdown]

52. His reaction immediately reminded me of a Will & Grace ep.

Grace was competing with Joan Collins for an interior decorating job, and the client was impressed with Collins' designs. Then the client turned to Grace and asked her for her ideas. Grace points and replies ... "She eats TACOS! They drip off her chin onto her blouse!"

[moondust]

53. Ed really nailed him, didn't he!!

:rofl:

[graywarrior]

55. Visibly hurt means blood, which unfortunately, there wasn't

[marshall]

56. And FDR used a wheelchair. So what???

They are tools to be used.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

57. Ed Henry was visibly shook up. He was politely scolded like a little child for being a RW tool.

[fortyfeetunder]

58. Where is a WAAAAAAAMbulance when you need one?

I think Ed Henry needs a fast ride to the pity party.
