The right and left blogs and talk shows are obsessing over what was apparently a quick conversation between AZ Gov Jan Brewer and the President, and now they're hyping the different accounts of the event, if it qualifies as an event - all stemming from media-hyped curiosity about a photo of Jan Brewer wagging her finger at the President.

I was asked my opinion of the event on another forum. My answer was and is, the hoopla is stupid, not even worthy as a distraction. Apparently it was a mildly testy interaction pertaining to a chapter of Brewer's book, which is now selling like hot cakes apparently. Maybe Brewer calculated it for that purpose, or maybe it was spontaneous, or whatever. It isn't even much ado about nothing. It's stupid, and the story as far as I'm concerned isn't really about Brewer or Obama. It's about the media and the public's thriving on the soap opera aspect of politics.

Let them starve I say!
Originally posted by KunsooYeah. I agree. It's not even worth a message board thread.

Originally posted by sh76It's a photograph we're talking about, right? Let's turn it into a caption contest, then.
Yeah. I agree. It's not even worth a message board thread.
Jan Brewer to Obama: "Does this hangnail look infected?"
Obama: "No, but a dentist could do something about your snaggletooth."

Exactly Paratrooper. The coverage of the tit for tat continues today with disputes about what was said and who was cordial, etc. For all we know, the "finger" picture wasn't even taken during the sort-of-argument. People have pointed at me to talk about the weather.
