"Kicking & Screaming: Journo Dragged From Near AF1"

NBC/Universal/GE's local on-line presence gets head-line huffy about the treatment of a reporter Reverend who types for a website in another state.

She said she asked a Secret Service agent to give the president her letter, but he refused and referred her to a White House staffer. Lee said she refused to give the staffer the letter.

"I said, 'I'll take my chances if (the president) comes by here,'" said Lee, who identified herself as a Roman Catholic priestess who lives in Anaheim, Calif. "He became annoyed that I wouldn't give him the letter."

This sort of thing never happened under the Bush administration (or the leftist media covered it up) possibly because leftists are generally much more connected w/ a recognizable form of reality than the self-identified priestess.

"I said, 'I'm not leaving,'" she said. "They tried to drag me out." Two officers then picked her up and carried her out. An Associated Press photographer photographed the incident. "I was afraid you could see under my clothes," she said, her voice choking up. Lee, who said this was the second presidential event she has covered, was later released.

The Rule of Threes applies here. Priestess Brenda could have been a harmless but irksome & distracting wackaloon (as usual, the most mundane is the most likely, if that's not tautological) or she could have been a purposeful distraction (even unknowingly) for worse trouble or ... there could have been anything up to ANTHRAXXXXX11!!1 in the envelope. 

The sorts of people who revel in their ignorance & non-elitism are in the comments at the NBC site. Will this be cause of outrage? Well, sure. Outrage of a sort:

She thought her Blackness would give her instant access to The Messiah. What a dopehead. Election's over, Lady. The Messiah won't be needing you folks for a while. Get on back to the rear of the bus. HAHAHA, OBAMAZOMBIE!

We suspect that the priestess being African-American, as well as an Asylum Avoiding-American, will inspire some blather (besides here) & the fact that she is black, while immaterial to the story, gives an opportunity to remind everyone that Pres. Obama is, you know. And ...

Tip o' the Bouffant chapeau (This wk., a sweat-stained, purple Lakers cap.) to many of the usual gang of idiots chez Sadly, No!, for directing us to this local affront to Catholicism we might otherwise have missed.
