When I put everything off to focus on coverage

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 23:12:25 -0400

(But) When the post-debate discussions and fact checks begin

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 23:01:42 -0400

I’m like:

And then I’m like:

When the debates end

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:56:10 -0400

I’m like:

When the moderator tries to move on

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:54:00 -0400

At first the candidates are like:

And then they’re like:

When a candidate gets called on their crap

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:51:27 -0400

I just imagine their inner panic like:

When I miss something important because my twitter feed distracted me

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:49:08 -0400

When Obama can't pronounce Lorraine

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:26:11 -0400

When the candidates talk over the moderator

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:19:30 -0400

I’m just like:

Because I just picture the moderator like:

When Romney pretends he's going to lower taxes on middle income people but not the top bracket

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 21:44:00 -0400

And I’m like:

Uh no. He has said time and time again that he would reduce the top income tax from 35% to 25%. And maybe that’s what he should do, and maybe it’s not - but he can’t pretend that what he’s saying tonight is true. If it were, then he should start with, “I used to think… but now I see…”, or explain what has changed, because this is extremely and obviously misleading. He didn’t sign the No New Taxes pledge and has repeatedly supported keeping the Bush tax cuts for the top tax bracket. If that’s the right thing to do, he should support it, explain why and stop lying to the public about what his plans are.

When the candidates pretend they're friends

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 21:26:38 -0400

When the debates are on

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 21:21:33 -0400

Most people:

Me:

When Mitt Romney says he's going to make sure I get a job

Tue, 16 Oct 2012 21:15:37 -0400

And I’m like:

When I go to a holiday party

Thu, 11 Oct 2012 13:54:22 -0400

At home:

In the office:

Thanks to howdoiputthisgently for the perfect gif pair!

When I want try to use satire

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:30:02 -0400

Because a politician is like:

And I try to be like:

And my editor is like:

When my source calls someone else back but not me

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:22:07 -0400

When I realize I'm supposed to be at event coverage

Mon, 01 Oct 2012 14:59:24 -0400

At first I’m like:

Then I’m like:

And when the rest of me catches up to my brain:

When a paid reporter visits to give a lecture

Sun, 30 Sep 2012 20:59:28 -0400

On the inside I’m just going:

When I was asked to leave for a startup paper

Sun, 30 Sep 2012 20:00:16 -0400

When freshmen are worried about the paper's rep

Sat, 29 Sep 2012 22:00:25 -0400

When I don't get the story first
