MORAN!

[Me.]

Doesn't Moran mean Moron to us?

Off the record means off the record MORAN!

[Sinistrous]

1. I'm glad you got that off your chest.

Whatever it was.

[crikkett]

4. ABC reporter tweeted an off-the-record remark in order to embarrass the president.

the reporter's name was Moran. It was a betrayal of reporting ethics. The reporter deleted the tweet and has apologized, but the damage is done.

3. i was thinking same reading moran disclosing the nondisclosed statement.

moran = moron

i wanted someone to email the moran picture to him

5. As Eleny Said

He will be sufficiently punished. He's been around a long time and knows better. Was it worth having a 5 minute splash with a tweet?

7. "MORAN" means "JACKASS" from here on out, OK?

What an ass that guy must be.

For what it is worth I think Obama was dead on when he characterized Kanye as a Jackass.

For the reporter to tweet it like a teenager makes him a Jackass too.

9. sounds good to me n/t

[Me.]

11. I Agree About The Jackass Comment

Most probably do. However Obama chose to say it off the record and that should've been respected.
