Romney aide flips out, invites reporters to kiss his ass

7/31/2012

Mitt Romney is still traveling abroad and man, what a long, strange trip it's been. On Tuesday, Romney appeared in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw, Poland, and his day went to hell before he'd even made it back to his car. As reporters shouted questions toward the candidate — mainly asking about the missteps and gaffes he and his staff have made in the past week — traveling press secretary Rick Gorka lost it. "Kiss my ass," Gorka shouted, "This is a holy site … show some respect." Gorka then told another reporter to "shove it," because that's TOTALLY respectful. Gorka reportedly apologized. Hey, at least the press will have some new screwups to inquire about. [Source]

Was Gorka out of line or are the reporters' questions totally annoying?
