McClatchy White House reporter gets misidentified all the time

Steve Thomma, the McClatchy reporter who jumped up to ask a question after Obama called on Steve Koff from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, is involved in all kinds of mix ups. Via FishBowlDC:

... Thomma apparently gets misidentified all the time. "I took some pride in the Atlantic's note last night that the "best question came from Steve Thomma of Reuters..." he said.

I suggest a name tag. FYI, Marc Ambinder is the reporter who said Thomma is with Reuters (link here).

..Pretty easy to mistake Thomma for a Reuters rat when you figure 'There ain't no mcClatchy . Can't be '. Those guys went bust months ago.

GatesGate Tells You Everything You Need To Know About Obama

Everything I ever needed to Know about Obama I learned from his comments on Professor Gates. tell me if I missed anything:

1 He viewed it from a polarizing racial perspective based on stereotypes.

2 He showed favoritism to minority democrat interest groups and to his friend.

3 He demonstrated elitism - the police are "stupid" the Harvard professor of course is not.

4 He jumped to immediate left wing conclusions without knowing the facts.

5 Perhaps most significantly, he couldn't resist getting the presidency (government) involved in even the most minor incident, from which he drew wildly exaggerated lessons to be applied to all society.

Oh yeah, Thomma asks the really hardball questions to Democrats. Like never, just another liberal in-the-tank KR/McC has-been. On to the soup lines sport, onward.

Thomma is just another Knight Ridder reject? Liberal, old, and out-of-touch. One could guess that if you read his blather, but I try to avoid any McClatchy news article. Who needs a bunch of dishonest crap-reading in their day?

Thomma just doesn't get it, no one wants to know his name. How many years has he been 'in the business'? Too many, and still no one knows who he is? There has to be a moral to that story somewhere.

12:08 PM- I went to check on the GatesGate you mentioned.

The Drudge Report: One place to get the full story in a hurry. Obama is the racist we thought he was from the start. He just didn’t set in that pew for 20 years, he was listening to Rev. Wright. Obama just can’t keep his ACORN past, in the past. Professor Gates has made his living on keeping racism alive for his ethnic classes. Read the full arrest report, Obama just spouted his racial white hatred, and then admitted he had not read all the details, you see, Gates is his friend. At least the true Obama surfaced for all to see.

Is Thomma one of the backroom bar boys that were so famous at Knight Ridder?

Get a look at his mug shot and that much is clear. He's pretty much shot out, but all of them are.
