Earlier, Paddy posted this video- Romney Aide Explodes At Media In Poland: ‘Kiss My A**’. Way to ingratiate yourselves to the very people who could give you a boost (or as the American press does,even more of a boost).
And then I ran across this excellent comment. Guardian gold:
Fact: Mitt Romney has not taken questions from the press since answering three of them outside 10 Downing St on Thursday. But then it's not like he's running for office or anything.
And this from the same live coverage by Richard Adams, referring to the above video in which Willard blames the media for his own ineptitude:
So after his aides had told the travelling journalists to drop dead, Mitt himself rushed on to Fox News this morning to blame the journalists for not merely reprinting his speeches and press releases, via the National Journal:
Asked about his missteps in an interview with Fox News’ Carl Cameron before he left Poland on Tuesday, Romney accused reporters of trivializing the substance of his trip and trying to divert attention from President Obama’s stewardship of the economy.
“And I realize that there will be some in the Fourth Estate, or whichever estate, who are far more interested in finding something to write about that is unrelated to the economy, to geopolitics, to the threat of war, to the reality of conflict in Afghanistan today, to a nuclearization of Iran,” Romney said, according to a transcript of the interview that aired on Tuesday morning.
Fancy that. Strange when you don't give any press conferences to journalists, they might write about something else.
Fancy this: This is reminiscent of the line he tosses around as an excuse to hide his tax returns from the evil prying eyes of the press and "the Obama people" who would “keep on wanting more and more and more. More things to pick through, more things for their opposition research to try make a mountain out of and to distort and to be dishonest about":
