Wolf Blitzer and David Gergen, watching Obama sign official papers yesterday in the Oval Office:
BLITZER: And if you’ve ever seen Barack Obama’s signature, he is very precise when he writes, and it’s — and if he writes, he scribbles some words before he signs an autograph, for example. His penmanship, I must say — and I’ve seen it — is really excellent.
GERGEN: He’s got a little flourish to that signature.
BLITZER: He has a great flourish. And it’s very impressive.
This would be hysterical, if it wasn’t.
Right up there with the whole Jackie O/Michelle O comparison schtick.
(I really have no idea if any corpress dips are engaging in such … but I’d be sorely tempted to bet on it, wouldn’t you?)
CNN, what a bunch of posers. They think good journalism is swirling graphics, multiple split screens and crawling text. Sheesh.
