Alternate Reality

A local reporter of note, Carol Marin, feels she has entered "the Bizarro Universe", in which reporters shout questions at Blago, but don't even raise their hands to ask question of Obama.

The press corps, most of us, don't even bother raising our hands any more to ask questions because Obama always has before him a list of correspondents who've been advised they will be called upon that day.

In the Bizarro mood,
reporters don't wish to intrude
or be rude.

It's what we call: subdued.
