I would probably rather be locked in a closet that hang out with Rat supporters and Plugs. The reporter should consider himself lucky.

“Powers didn’t mention his confinement in either of his pool reports that day”

If it was Cheney, it would have been mentioned and put on the front page of the NYTimes.

Is everyone who surrounds Biden, in the closet?

I read the article on Drudge, and I don’t get it...Why did they put him in the closet? They let him out for the speech? What?

Rhetorical question: why did the Orlando Sentinel spike the story?

They were busy noshing on caprese crostini with oven-dried mozzarella and basil, rosemary flatbread with grapes honey and gorgonzola cheese and bacon deviled eggs, before a lunch of grilled chicken Caesar and garden vegetable wraps.

Not bad for $500.

Should have kicked the bloody door down and scared the crap of the “low-level staffer.”

Correct me if I wrong - but isn’t unlawful imprisonment a serious felony crime?

Technically that’s kidnapping. Any “ordinary” American would be looking at serious criminal charges. Biden and his staff are, of course, immune since Holder controls the FBI.

Good. I suspect Drudge got this from MindBender’s report here earlier today.

It needed confirmation, and Drudge got it from the reporter himself.

I notice that Drudge doesn’t get into the fact that the reporter’s newspaper refused to say anything about this or to defend their reporter. I guess he didn’t want to get him into trouble for talking to him.

"When I'd stick my head out, they'd say, 'Not yet. We'll let you know when you can come out.'"

Communism can be tough on "the little people". If you're not one of the top rung elite, you gotta stay in the closet.

Well, this had more information than earlier posts.
Now I don’t feel for the reporter at all. He should have had his mom come get him.

If I was the editor and found my reporter agreed to be shut in a closet, I would fire him on the spot and give him a $20 out of my pocket so he could go look for his spine.

what a cissy. I doubt that ever happens to me. No job that valuable to be belittled like that. If that were my kid I’d kick his butt.

I think the first thing to acknowledge is that it's important that politicians retain the right to exclude press from some events, especially campaign fund-raising events like this. I know Bush did it because I was at one where no press was allowed. It doesn't seem like a problem.

There are problems, though. First, Biden's advance team are clearly morons - following their boss's lead, no doubt. And, the newspaper is wrong for spiking the story. In fact, they IMHO bear almost all the blame. If the politicians doesn't want you there, that's fine, but that's also news. And, if the politician handles it in a ridiculously incompetent manner, then that's also news.

The enemy (RAT supporters of means) do not wish to be identified, for fear of the unwashed (US)!
