A richly deserved promotion goes to one of the fairest folks in the Old Media and hearty congratulations from us today. Jake Tapper from ABC has been given the plum assignment of Senior White House Correspondent as of this week.
What a great pick by ABC. They couldn’t have found a better guy. Tough, fair minded, on top of the story, web savvy. He has it all. And, at the risk of sounding like I’m playing for the “other team,” not a bad lookin’ fella. OK, that last bit was over the top… but you know. I go caught up in the moment.
So, congrats to Jake Tapper. Imagine, being assigned to the role of Senior White House correspondent at such a time in history! What an opportunity.
Now, some advice, Jakster. Remember how Obama liked to throw people off the plane, how he loved to chuck them under the bus. Remember how Joe Biden punished reporters for their sins during the campaign? Don’t be intimidated, man. We’ve got your back here. So, if you end up in Obama’s new journalist jail, we’ll try to scrape together some bail money.
And now, we probably just made every other member of the Old Media decide you’re persona non grata because of our praise. Just tell ‘em we were off our meds.
