APPARENTLY, Romney stooge Gorka is the wind beneath Fox Spokesmodel Chris Wallace's wings.

Chris Wallace: Romney aide a ‘hero’ for saying ‘kiss my a**’

Fox News host Chris Wallace on Thursday said that GOP hopeful Mitt Romney’s traveling press secretary was a “hero” after he told reporters at a holy site in Poland to “kiss my ass.”

“There were important things that Romney said in speeches both in Poland and in Israel, and the press got it’s knickers all in a twist because of the fact that he — you know, they didn’t have access to him,” Wallace explained to Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade on Thursday.

“And if you watch the tape — I don’t know if you’ve seen it — of the reporters shouting at him at a site [that had] some respect and some reverence for the Poles, and shouting at him, you know, ‘Have your gaffes overshadowed the trip?’ That’s not a question that you’re expecting an answer, that’s a tantrum.”

Wallace added: “And, quite frankly, I thought the press guy for the Romney campaign, who told him to ‘shove it’ and show some respect and ‘kiss my blank’ — you know what? He’s a hero as far as I’m concerned.”

I mean how dare the press get pissed off because they were only allowed "3" questions the whole trip, and they were stuck in the bus and treated like they were in a "petting zoo", according to a fox reporter. I mean how dare they try to get the lord and master to actually "answer" a question! Gee I mean what did the expect anyway, from his minions, civility?

After all it isn't called "Mittness" protection for nothing!

...thinks that members of the press should not be miffed when they are denied access to the person they traveled halfway across the world to cover? He thinks it's heroic to rebuff the press when you are in the middle of a Presidential campaign? WTF???

He's a traitor to his profession. (not just for this though )
