'I'll throw you off this fucking balcony, I'll break you in half'

[bodecea]

The reporter should have punched him right in the bladder.

A knee right up in the groin might have been funny.

.....but very very wrong.

 

[mudwhistle]

The fact that he apologized for the incident without correcting any aspect of the story should be evidence enough. As far as Obama is concerned, he has nothing to do with this situation. Obama is guilty of far worse crimes than threatening a reporter, but bringing him up still makes no sense. It's much like when partisan Democrats constantly bring up Bush despite him having nothing to do with the issue at hand.

True, to bring up Obama in the context of this incident makes no sense, just as the notion that Obama is ‘guilty’ of far worse crimes also makes no sense.

Deflection and lies.

Its all they've got.

I think we should mike up everyone in Washington.

Maybe we'll hear some really juicy shit then. Might change everyone's attitude about these pernicious pricks. Find out what they're really saying to folks around them.




Here's how the Brits talk to each other.

"Oh how fucken ignorant....why don't you spit it out you little Nancy!!!"

The House of Commons got a real laugh out of Gordon Brown's comments.

The reporter asked a question and Grimm refused to answer. Grimm walked away and the reporter closed out by saying Grimm refused to answer any questions on the scandal

Grimm goes apeshit

Time for Republicans to blame the media

The so called "liberal" media.

Grimm is a former US Marine who served in Iraq, and then worked for the FBI. While at the Bureau, he was investigated for abusing his authority: threatening his date's husband ("I'll fucking make him disappear where nobody will find him") and pulling a gun in a nightclub. Grimm argued that reports of the incident were a "witch hunt" but the NYPD and FBi refused to release their files on the matter, and the New Yorker reporter who wrote the original story produced supplemental documents supporting his account.

Grimm is a Tea Party darling who was endorsed by Sarah Palin and Rudy Giuliani.

And, in turn, he endorsed another bully, Chris Chrispie.

Obama threatened to throw someone off a balcony? or worse?

Worse!

Don't tell me..........He made people get.......HEALTH INSURANCE

No, he made millions lose it.

Grimm needs the fuck beat out of him, put back in, and then beat out of him again.

You sound just like Grimm.

As State of the Union rebuttals go, it’s going to be hard to top Rep. Michael Grimm, R-New York.

The former Marine and FBI vet told a reporter asking about campaign finance issues—and this is according to a transcript from the network conducting the ill-fated interview:

Grimm: “Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I’ll throw you off this f—–g balcony.”

Scotto: “Why? I just wanted to ask you…”

[[cross talk]]

Grimm: “If you ever do that to me again…”

Scotto: “Why? Why? It’s a valid question.”

[[cross talk]]

Grimm: “No, no, you’re not man enough, you’re not man enough. I’ll break you in half. Like a boy.”

More on the story here. Video below.

They surely do get pissy when they get caught.

"Junior moment!"

Farewell re-election...

 

[freedombecki]

Ah, isn't it cute when the left finds a new target

Pixie, for me, it's not about a new target, and notice I never mentioned Grimm's political affliation.

If a DEM had done this, I would have written exactly the same thing. It's not a political issue. It's a LEGAL issue. Threatening to kill someone is, as I wrote, at the least, a misdemeanor and can be a felony.

Grimm's career is over. Not because he is a Republican. But because he fucked up so badly.

But to the political side of this: for a party that loves to take the moral high ground, the party that should be tearing into Grimm the most should be the GOP.

While I agree, he messed up.

I will also say, that obama messed up worse, and the left is cool with what he has done to our country

hear, hear!

awww, and luddy gets pissy when they get pissy

how cute

We all know that had a Democrat acted in the manner that Grimm did she would be all about calling for his head.

 

[Wry Catcher]

OP's link doesn't seem to work.

Who hasn't fantasized about skinning paparazzi alive?

This wasn't "paparazzi".

This was a reporter.

And Grimm is a public servant.

Not a mobster.

Are you sure? He sure sounded like a mobster (thug) on the tape.

This is absolutely correct.

But remember, Grimm is only one of 535 elected Congresspeople on Capitol Hill and then only one to do this the other night.

The line of questioning was supposed to have been about the Congressman's reaction to the SOTU...

but then the snivelly li'l shit of a reporter couldn't resist sticking in a question about the Congressman's other stuff...

not part of what the Congressman agreed to...

'n if I was him, I'd be tempted to throw the li'l shit over the balcony, too...
