No, you're stupid! Am not! Are so! Both throw rocks.

It would be worth getting thrown out of the press pool.

Mr. President.: No, even that is way, way beyond our "press" corps. And don't even think about the next journalist standing up for their colleague.

“Well … uh …. YOU’RE stupid!” I can just picture his red face sputtering. What an embarrassment.

He says they weren't vetted and then tries to show a picture which he says shows them "standing on top of each other." One doesn't cause the other. Non sequitur. He makes no sense--no sense whatsoever.

He just runs his mouth and tries to intimidate people by asking "are you stupid?"

I always like to look at the body language of the people, but in this case, there was nothing. No expressions, nothing.
