The St. Paul Pioneer Press newspaper had second thoughts after calling President Barack Obama an “assclown” in a photo caption on Monday, television station KMSP reported.
The newspaper ran a photo showing the President holding a selfie stick as part of his recent BuzzFeed video. The photo included a caption: “A fool-proof way to make yourself look like a self-absorbed assclown.”
The image ran online in the paper’s “Loop Ten” slideshow, billed as a “daily countdown of the top newsmakers, groundbreakers and world-class fakers.”
Sports producer Kevin Cusick, who was responsible for the caption, told KMSP that it was a “poor choice of words.”
“I must have been in an especially foul mood last night,” he told the station. He added that he had since “toned it down a bit.”
On Tuesday morning, the caption now read: “A fool-proof way to make yourself look like a self-absorbed celebrity.”

This wouldn’t happen if any of these idiots thought of Obama as our president.
Writing the above caption is a truly foolproof way to make yourself look like a humorless moron who is far too lazy to bother with context.
No.
It doesn’t.
But it is happy to have the publicity for badboy behavior.
Winners win because they have goods the losers don’t: The knowledge of how to win now, the skills to win now, and the will to win now. The race is long over and PBO is still winning. And the dying print media is still dying.
Is that why these things are called “guilty pleasures”?
You know it’s not right or good for you, but you just can’t resist and “regret” it afterwards – over and over again?
