"His real sin there is a lack of professionalism. "Sweetie" is just not appropriate in that context unless he has a social relationship with the reporter. Period."

A sillier reason for pontifecation has yet to be invented.
But I'm sure it will be.

I am a hypocrite::

1) I HATE being called 'honey' by salesclerks or others hwo don't actually love me.

2) I'm so used to saying 'sweeite' when I'm around my grandchildren, that I've slipped up on at least 2 occasions and used the term speaking to people who don't deserve it.and were startled to hear it. Yet, I forgave myself.

When did "sweetie" make it on to the banned list? I had no idea I was such a horrible person. I say that all the time.

Actually she was more upset at not getting her question answered than being called "sweetie". She said she appreciated Senator Obama's quick apology for not answering her question and calling her "sweetie". I didn't make that up. That's her exact words via the link below:

Peggy Agar Talks About Obama Apology

I watch Peggy Agar all the time here in the Detroit area. She's a good reporter.

Wow that was condescending, and boy does that reporter sound pissed. I think that's one vote he lost.
