Pop Goes the Weasel

Sometimes people take niceness for weakness and then one has to set them straight. So it was with Ed Henry of CNN whose main question was answered carefully and graciously, but whose impulse to show off set him up. "Goading" (Tom Shales word choice) President Obama like a grade school bully, he insisted on getting an answer for why the president took a couple of days to demonstrate his anger over the AIG bonuses. With a cool and dismissive tone he got the answer: "I like to know what I am talking about before I speak". Pop goes the weasel!
