Press Room - Toilets Nearby

Where they belong

“ Austin, TX Hillary "dumped the traveling press corps exactly where many voters believe they belong today -- in the men's room of the Burger Activity Center." The reporters, including The Times' Louise Roug, were set up in the toilet with tables right next to the urinals. Their dinner was delivered there too -- tamales piled in the corner and candies served in paper cups. One reporter cried out, "Metaphor alert!" The press crew had started the day about 5 a.m. with the candidate at a windblown factory gate in Toledo, Ohio, before descending into muggy Texas. According to Roug, there were moans among the reporters when only two wall plugs were found. But then came sighs of relief that despite the unsavory circumstances, the bathroom did have Wi-Fi, just like a Starbucks toilet. --Andrew Malcolm Video at http://hotair.com/archives/2008/03/04/video-hillary-puts-the-media-in-their-place/ ”
