Many people were angling to see Obama up close, but the most excited newsroom staffers appeared to be non-journalists, including one clerical employee who was heard to shriek that the president-elect had shaken her hand.
Wonderful.
Yes I have selectively edited the above paragraph leaving out the fact that there was "no ovation". Of course The One would not tolerate standing in his presence. : )
I'm sure it was a lowly "clerical employee" and not a journalistic sychophant. Mr. Kurtz in his story seems to imply that no journalist would react to Obama in such a way. I guess Chris Matthews didn't get the memo?
