2. She probably thought it made him look "tough"

instead of what it actually did: made him look like a petty asshole with an inflated ego.

I searched for Josh's comments on "Talking Points Memo," but came up blank.

Way to stay on top of breaking news, Paula! Apparently, the Chimp called the reporter out for having a cell phone...

ON EDIT: Here is Josh Marshall's piece on this issue; he's spot on:

Possibly a more innocent explanation.

Yesterday we noted a testy exchange between President Bush and AP reporter Pete Yost in which the president appeared to upbraid the reporter for addressing him as 'Sir' as opposed to 'Mr. President.'

Today, there's this from Dan Froomkin's online column in the Washington Post. After reprinting the same transcript, Froomkin adds ...

Not entirely clear was whether Bush was ticked off because Yost didn't call him "Mr. President" -- or if Bush thought Yost was talking to someone else on his mobile phone.
The president's swipe still strikes me as uncalled-for. But this certainly puts the matter in a different light. If anybody else was there and has more to add, please drop me a line.

5. Paul Begala

rightfully pointed out that Chimp works for us including that reporter he was just so shitty to. This son of a bitch really thinks he's king.
