What Bothers Them Is That He's 16 And Can Do Their Jobs

Dean, one of our Monks of Miscellaneous Musings, has an outstanding blog post up about the modern press corps being lackeys and lapdogs. In related news, Presidential Spokescreature Jay Carney got schooled by a high school junior yesterday, freaking out the Washington press establishment.
“Because of the death threats being received by George Zimmerman and his parents, is the president going to take any action for their security or are they on their own?” Gabe Finger asked.

Carney responded that he wasn’t aware of the threats and that Florida authorities would be responsible for handling them, but that Obama opposes “any violence of any kind” in response to the verdict in the Trayvon Martin case.

“So they’re on their own?” Finger asked again.

“You can editorialize all you want and I have no doubt that you will, but that is a ridiculous statement,” Carney replied.
The ridiculous statement is that Major League Toady Carney wasn't aware of the death threats. Please.

Final score: Gabe Finger one zillion, Jay Carney zero.

    It was total nonsense to say he wasn't aware of the death threats. Everyone knew about them. It minimizes the importance of everyone not named "Martin" to act like you haven't heard. Even if Zimmerman was the lowest form of life on Earth, his parents shouldn't have to put up with this.
