"Sean, I'd like to ask you about two different topics but could you help us all by calling on Peter right now?"

Peter Baker is the White House reporter for the New York Times.

Spicer declined Simendinger's request.

"No, I'm gonna— I understand," Spicer said. "I actually call the questions. Alexis, if you don't want to [ask] your question, I can call on somebody else."

"Could you call on the New York Times, please?" Simendinger said.

But Spicer moved on to another reporter.

Peter Baker: didn't get to ask a question

[BunnySlippers]

Why, pray tell, can’t she ask the question he was going to ask?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Homey don’t play that $hit.

[ColdOne]

Really!

[ColdOne]

LOL!

[max americana]

What is this? High school? LOL

[2ndDivisionVet]

Were soapy water and a super soaker involved?

[IWontSubmit]

A Fifty Shades of Grey BSDM moment?

[jazusamo]

Good for Spicer.

[lee martell]

Good for you, Spicey. Stay in control of the traffic. That is your call, not the reporters. Don’t play that game. Maybe Ms SmartyPants won’t be invited to the Press Room for a few months after that little stunt. Give her time to contemplate her navel, Oh, and her job too.

What is this? High school? LOL

Liberals are used to being able to cut to front of the line.

[cyclotic]

Maybe Junior High.

What a bunch of immature children.

Tomorrow, Spicer should tell them that all questions must be in writing on 3X5 cards

[Hoffer Rand]

Why, pray tell, can’t she ask the question he was going to ask?

Because the point wasn't to ask the question. The point was to try and embarrass Spicer. Only he refused to play along. These idiots still haven't grasped that not only have the rules changed, but the entire game has changed, and they keep trying to play the old game.

[rockrr]

So this turns into a twofer: not only will we not be bothering with the slimes, but we won’t be wasting our time with RCP either. Bonus!

[tumblindice]

[billorites]

Yeah, make the bastards practice their g.d. cursive.

[onyx]

It was a BEAUTIFUL MOMENT!

Alexis Simendinger is such a whiny mouse!

I have NO IDEA why she was playing pimp fo Peter Baker.

Sean Spicer had already given ABC's Jonathan Karl a Royal Smackdown.

I guess Mr. Baker was loaded with bear or maybe beer and rarin' to go!

I thought the NYT gets it’s stories from ‘Rat leaks. No need for them to be at the White Tower for 3.7 years.

You nailed!
