Not a Mentality But a Disease

Everything you need to know about the DC journo establishment, from ABC News White House correspondent Jake Tapper’s Twitter feed:

Breaking- PrezObama on Leno jokes about being a bad bowler- says it’s “like the Special Olympics or something” http://tinyurl.com/bholeno about 12 hours ago from TwitterBerry
Am trying to imagine the reaction if President Bush joked that his bowling skills recalled the Special Olympics. 3 am- we just landed in dc about 6 hours ago from TwitterBerry
Preparing for day of hypocrisy: conservs who would normally defend the SpecOlymp joke acting offended, liberals saying lighten up. Sigh about 3 hours ago from TwitterBerry

Late Update: Tapper gets his revenge: He has “blocked” me from following him on Twitter.

Later Update: Seems to be a trend.

Later Update: In an apparent peace offering, Tapper started following my Twitter feed this afternoon. And I have been unblocked from following his. Peace is at hand — although I’m unsure about the others who were blocked.
