A serious person could actually have made a fairly interesting question out of that instead of coming off like a grandstanding butthead. But the more serious you are, the less you’ll be likely to be a high-flier with a network news organization. Glad he got slapped down.

That actually would have been an awesome opening for a sarcastic response by President Obama…

“as soon as we have Israel sell arms to Iran to free hostages, so we could illegally fund death squads in latin America, like Reagan did.”

The mushroom clouds left by the Fright-Wing™ having their noses rubbed in the St. Reagan’s shit and their heads thereby exploding in nuclear rage would be worth it.

I’m not sure at all that actual journalism exists anymore. I a lot of countries Garrett would have been arrested for showing that level of disrespect to a head of state. Lucky for him tho…this is the United States.

Iranian hostages? Time to call in the big guns.

That was about the most incredible question to a president I’ve heard in a long time. This should do Major damage to Major. If he was interested in getting the presidents take on the fate of those four hostages, he could have chosen dozens of different ways to ask that question. But no, he had to frame it in such a was as to make it appear that Obama just didn’t give a damn about the four folks held captive. I can’t imagine the bosses at CBS being happy with their reporter looking like a Major asshole.

There are a few good ones here and there. But yeah, he’s lucky he’s in the States and not, say, North Korea.

Just imagine… If he’d joined the service and attained the rank of Major, his title would be Major Major Garrett.

Instead he went to work for FOX news so now he’s just another dick.
