Don’t You Know Who I am? I’m A Reporter Damn It! (Updated Below)Bobby Caina Calvan is a reporter in Baghdad and apparently the world revolves around him. It seems our boy Bobby was trying to enter the Green Zone the other day but he couldn’t be bothered to make sure he was carrying sufficient ID to get past security. Now, that might be a problem for mere mortals like you and me but Bobby here is a crackerjack reporter so the rules don’t apply to him. And if he has to get mouthy with an American soldier at a checkpoint in the middle of dangerous area to get his way, so be it. “We’re bigger than the Journal,” I replied. “You never heard of Knight Ridder?” Blackfive has the rest of the story but unfortunately, it doesn’t have a happy ending. The soldier was professional enough to call for instructions and Bobby got in. Personally, I think he should have been forced to walk around downtown Baghdad, maybe then he would have appreciated the protection of the American servicemen he is so quick to insult. You can read Bobby’s blog entry for yourself. You may even be moved to comment. Just remember, it’s Bobby Caina Calvan you’re talking to. BTW- It was Bobby’s news service (McClatchy recently bought Knight Ridder) that gave us the memorable “As Violence Falls in Iraq, Cemetery Workers Feel the Pinch” story. UPDATE: Bobby has decided that perhaps he's shared too much and has redacted his post: (Yes, I’m obviously new to blogging. Somtimes I share too much. The blogosphere has reacted and pointed out my folly. Yes, I can be pushy. I can also be wrong. I’v'e edited this post — and have shut down the comment feature.) Alas, that was foreseeable so I took the precaution of saving the original post, which you can see in it's full glory below the fold. UPDATE x2: docweasel has an email from Bobby and is presenting him with a funny award for doing what was previously thought to be impossible...uniting the internet. While it's good Bobby may have learned an important blogging lesson, the bigger issue to me is this whole Big Footing garbage and treating an American Soldier like a dimwitted rent-a-cop. Let's see how he handles that part of the story. Lima is beautiful in the spring, when it’s not too hot, I was told. Machu Pichu is a must see, too. | Recent Comments
