Obama films promo spots for area media personality
The first words out of Barack Obama's smiling mug in an interview with Jon Ralston for Channel 8:
"Well Jon I think as usual you have been provocative but misstated my position."
That was followed later with...
"Jon I thought I was talking to you as opposed to debating John McCain but I'm happy to let you serve as his proxy."
And then later there was...
"Jon, don't put words in my mouth or anticipate what I'm going to do."
And then finally, the money shot...
"Jon, you know I love Nevada, and more importantly I love debating you on your show."
Oh, the the interview was about energy policy. Maybe.
UPDATE: Wonkette's commenters are running with the "douche" meme, fyi.
Sounds like Ralston really made a Las Vegas JackAss of himself. Does he really think he is going to be the next Bill O?

No. He thinks Bill O. will be the next Ralston. But that isn't fair either. Jon R. could be any journalist who thinks he's bigger than the story he's covering.

Sounded more like "mine is bigger than yours". What a disappointment....no pun intended.

No mention of Paris Hilton; that was boring.

Nothing screams "BITCH" louder than being "anointed" John McCain's proxy. Obama...game,set and match.
