9. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.)(full story at: newsrealblog.com)Let’s face it: journalists can often be impertinent. Sometimes they ask bad questions, and they frequently hammer the same question over and over again, even when the respondent has already answered. But just as often as they are out of line, journalists can ask probing, important questions, and sometimes the respondents are the impertinent ones. In one fairly infamous case late this year, one congressman succeeded in making himself look like a fool.
In the face of the year-end budget debates during the lame duck session in December, Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY) appeared on America Live on Fox News. When anchor Megyn Kelly turned the discussion to the estate tax, Weiner began to act like a petulant child, sighing, looking around, and interrupting Kelly, who maintained her cool throughout.
