National Public Radio reporter Ari Shapiro reports that liberal pundits were seen entering the West Wing:

Spotted: @joshtpm @capehartj @ezraklein & other lefty columnists headed into the West Wing as a group. POTUS coffee? Carney meeting? Anyone?

— Ari Shapiro (@arishapiro) May 21, 2013

The pundits include Jonathan Capehart, Josh Marshall, and Ezra Klein.

Reggie Love is in Pennsylvania, Rahm Emanuel is in Chicago, Michelle is still on the phone with Travelocity and Obama needs a massage - one like Bill Clinton used to get.

So, who ya’ gonna’ call?

Betcha that the latest Eugene Robinson column in the WP has the WH spooked. He's never before raised even an eyebrow over Obama much less unload with some harsh language about Barry and his Chicago thugs.

Unfortunately, there isn't a Judas among them.

>> I know Bush did the same thing with some conservative writers, too.

I was skeptical; I looked it up, and it appears you are right! At least once.

In Bush's case, it was not crisis-driven but (according to what I read) an attempt to explain his policy decisions in general to a punditry that had gotten somewhat hostile to his administration.

So you're right again... the timing is suspect! This looks a more like desperate damage control on Obamao’s part.

I guess Ezra Klein’s Plan A “IRS is a nothing burger” didn’t pass muster. On to Plan B, “George Bush made us do it” or Plan C, “SCOTUS made us do it with their Citizen’s United decision”, or Plan D, “it happened because the GOP didn’t give the IRS enough funding”, or if all else fails, “war on women, racism or globull warming”.

This is the second “Get our Talking Points Straight” meeting the White Hut has had with its captive mouthpieces.

I’d think they’d be embarrassed, but I have to recall they have no conscience or professionalism. But they do like it up their bung-hole, so BOHICA, it’s 0bama!

We are officially a banana republic, Obama will bless them with an unrecorded “walk by” meeting on his way to get another fish taco.

Who will be the first to stop clapping and risk becoming compost in Michele’s garden...?

They’d be well-advised to review some stock footage of what happened to collaborators in Paris after the Allied liberators rolled into town.

Geobbels is going to personally deliver the message and threats.

The attendees have put themselves on the list of those to be executed come the Revolution.
