Amen. I'm just saying that the kids could have taken a couple more steps to protect themselves. If they had simply told him who they were, I have no doubt he would have said something like "Well, Joey Bergstein from Columbia School of Broadcasting, fuck off!" or something that would have sealed his fate further.

But they just sat there like a couple of shocked kids (understandably). Anyway, I'm not defending the old bastard by any means...but you know the talking heads are going to look at "the other side," which will raise the idiotic question: "Should responsible journalists be obliged to identify themselves/behave in a professional manner, etc?"

There are bound to be commentators who remind us of "paps and TMZ roaches who jam cameras and mics into the faces of celebs and politicians EVERY DAY, and maybe it's not so surprising that one of them goes all Sean Penn on us every now and again."

Yeah I love how that question only arises when it's a lib who gets caught in a bad act. If this were a Republican politician we'd have every major MSM outlet spamming it as "BREAKING NEWS"
