Little Jimmy is so desperate to be part of the news he reports. Did nobody warn him to be careful what you wish for?
If the slang term ‘Presstitute’ had a stock photo to go with it, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better candidate than Jim Acosta.
As they say on the internet, find yourself that loves you the way Jim Acosta loves Jim Acosta.
He’s got that really unpleasant combination of arrogance and neediness that makes regular people cringe in disgust. And CNN made a celebrity out of him, which tells us something about their judge of character.
So, not long before the President was to give his first-ever address to America from the Oval Office, Jim Acosta made it abundantly clear, for the one or two people still alive that don’t yet know whether he had any political axes to grind.
Jim, with his typical elegance and class, hurled an anti-Trump insult thinly disguised as a question. Kellyanne was more than ready for him, and beat him like a rented mule.
CNN’s Jim Acosta: “Kellyanne, can you promise the president will tell the truth tonight?”
Conway: “Yes, Jim. Do you promise that you will? … this is why I am one of the only people around here who even gives you the time of day…because you’re such a smartass most of the time” pic.twitter.com/8fZ1iycl9R

She wasn’t finished. It only got better from there.
The whole truth, so help you God?
Am I allowed to mention God to you?
She called him out as a smartass glory hound. Mocked his desire to go viral.
And then she showed how his own network failed to live up the very standards Acosta pretends to care so deeply about.
But, in the whole 61-second take-down, the best part is probably when she told him a hard truth about what the rest of the Press gallery REALLY thinks about him.
Oh, Jimmy. Did that hurt your precious ego?
Not to worry, Jimmy. That ego will be back to its regular size in no time flat. Maybe he can go get himself a pep talk from ex-Senator Stewart Smalley.
Meanwhile, the President will keep living rent-free in Acosta’s empty little head, and doing what we elected him to do.
