Small-minded president…

The White House  has banned  a Boston Herald reporter,  claiming that the paper has not reported  “fairly.”    The apparent cause of Obama-pique was that the Herald  didn’t give sufficient coverage of the visit of His Oneness while granting front page space for a Mitt Romney op-ed.

This follows on the heels of the White House last month threatening to bar Hearst reporters from pool duty after a Chronicle reporter shot video of protesters mocking Obama at a fund-raiser.

The Herald is now having a fine time reporting to the fullest on the dust-up and dipping its barbs in  quality satire  before flinging them back at the White House.   Yeah,  I’m enjoying the hell out of this.

What’s the old warning about not picking a fight with anybody who buys ink by the barrel?
