Yet on he preens and struts and clucks — a sad display and an embarrassment to all the other birds.

Acosta gets a shot at asking the leader of the free world a question. An opportunity like that is a responsibility for any real reporter. A chance to give voice to the millions and millions of Americans who will never get a shot at asking a president a question. An opportunity to shed light on some hidden injustice. An opportunity to inform and improve our body politic.

And this ridiculous bozo Acosta asks the president if he is opposed to a part-time newspaper columnist being murdered and brutally dismembered with a bone saw. Seriously?

He asked this in front of a roomful of reporters from around the world. What must those people think of America? The seriousness of our press? What a joke.
