Reporter Arrested by Sec. Service, Jumped Rope Line Seeking Obama Autograph
Publius' Forum ^ | 2/06/09 | Warner Todd Huston

A reporter apparently couldn't resist the siren call of The One yesterday, so, like a star struck 15-year old at a Hannah Montana concert, he jumped the rope line separating the press from the president and ran up to him seeking Obama's autograph.

Needless to say the Secret Service was not amused, interdicted the man's Obammessiah signature seeking, and led him off to be investigated. The reporter was later seen gathering up his personal items in the White House press room and led from the premisses.

Gosh, it's always great to hear of these types of stories of the hard-nosed press corps that is so cynical as to scoff at anyone that might be a tad awed by a mere politician isn't it? We all know that reporters are way too nonchalant about the lure of The One to be all taken with his presence so, right? His autograph? Pshaw. That is absurd. Why, WHO would want the autograph of a politician? Heck, reporters see politicians everyday, so it's just old hat, part of the job, uninteresting. Yep, good thing they are above hero worship!

Who was the reporter, and who does he work for?

Not enough information. Name/media affiliation for starts.

How would someone eligible for a White Houe press pass be jumping a rope line? I’ve never seen a rope line for White House pressers ... something just isn’t adding up here.

From the Politico link:

There are no details yet on the reporter's name or publication.

IMO, not enough bad things can happen to these media types!

It can’t be Chrissy Matthews...it’s hard to jump a rope when you’ve got a tingle up your leg.
