Answer to "profession where it is ok to yell at someone": Judge at lawyer. In fact...sports coach at players.
I really dont think it was "petulent child". I think it was a commonplace response in real life, and a non commonplace response to a reporter. If someone acts like a douche in real life, you have more than a right to tell them off.

Yeah, comparing a reporter to a coworker really is a bad analogy. Just as the politician one was.Answer to "profession where it is ok to yell at someone": Judge at lawyer. In fact...sports coach at players.

also, judges aren't really supposed to 'yell' at lawyers, at least in the sense of rasing their voice. but as was mentioned many, many bosses make a habit out of yelling at employees. the co-worker was a pretty reasonable analogy, i thought. assuming (as i did) that is was in response to your point about that being accepetable behaviour in real life rather than the original situation with calhoun, that is.

i think what furious is saying, and that i think we could all agree on, is that calhoun could have handled the situation with a little less volatility had he wished to do so. it would have certainly been less entertaining had he done that, but the option was there, and as a public figure he should have known that not taking it would result in some kind of fuss. although my opinion is that the 'reporter' gets the majority of the blame for the situation, the fact is that there were two people involved that could have moderated the situation and didn't. i don't see that calhoun was that out of line, but he absolutely could have moderated his response. as i said before, it looked like the other reporters were going to tell the guy off for him if he had just kept his cool for another 30 seconds or so.also, judges aren't really supposed to 'yell' at lawyers, at least in the sense of rasing their voice. but as was mentioned many, many bosses make a habit out of yelling at employees. the co-worker was a pretty reasonable analogy, i thought. assuming (as i did) that is was in response to your point about that being accepetable behaviour in real life rather than the original situation with calhoun, that is.

ah, when I said real life I meant "some random censored on the street". Other than that I think we basically agree. Judges arent "supposed" to yell at lawyers, but they sure as hell do, on regular occasion I might ask. The lawyer censored up at their job and makes the judge's job harder? They are going to hear about it. This would be a good analogy to the reporter-basketball coach situation (no it wouldnt).

Honestly, this whole thing has already moved out of the news cycle, and that's as it should be. Calhoun yelled at some dickwad agitator, everyone enjoyed it for a day or two, and then we'll all go back to wondering when Tony Romo is going to dump Fatty McCheeseburger.

I still think you people are letting him off too easy. But it's not like I think he should be punished or anything. I just think he should be embarrassed. But he won't be, because Calhoun's an egomaniac and he likely thinks that not only did he do nothing wrong, but he didn't go far enough.Honestly, this whole thing has already moved out of the news cycle, and that's as it should be.

can we also wonder why he dumped carrie underwood for her in the first place?
(Fatty McCheeseburger? genius!)

because carrie wouldn't swallow, obviously. Fatty McCheesburger can't have a problem with that.

(If, say, you have a daughter, and she is overweight, you should be supportive of her and love her no matter what, because presumably she has something of value to contribute to society. But when someone like Jessica Simpson, who is a talentless hack who has built an entire career and an uncountable fortune out of the smoking hotness of her body, starts packing on the poundage, then that porky-ass censored is fair game)

when she wears tony's football jersey, she looks quite skinny. especially when she wears it with the shoulder pads.

Those aren't shoulder pads, those are her big meaty ham hocks.

(I don't know what ham hocks are. They're her big fat jiggly arms is the point.)

Someone in the parking lot has the license plate "4Romo9". I'm going to key that censored one of these days.

(It's probably time to let this meme go, it's run its course now. Oh, did I mention that one of the local bars is using Ms. Beerfest in one of those on-table in-house ads, you know the ones where it's a sheet in a plastic holder that sits on the table? I did a double-take when I saw the picture in that context.)
