Reporter Gets Payback on Weiner

Written by Mark R. Yzaguirre on Monday June 6, 2011

A few days ago, Rep. Weiner's staff called the police on WCBS New York reporter Marcia Kramer. Kramer though may have gotten the last laugh at today's presser.

I noticed an interesting little detail regarding Andrew Breitbart's impromptu introductory remarks at Rep. Anthony Weiner's press conference.  According to Politico:

Breitbart went unnoticed by the huge media throng until a Politico and New York Observer reporter approached him, and tweeted about it. Word spread that he was on the premises, and the cameramen quickly rushed over, surrounding him by a side door.  Weiner had yet to arrive.  “Andrew, would you go to the podium?” WCBS reporter Marcia Kramer, who just days earlier was threatened with arrest when she staked out Weiner’s congressional office in Washington, asked.  After a few requests, he agreed.

So, if this story is correct, the reporter that Rep. Weiner's staff allegedly called the police on was the person who asked Breitbart to come onstage and get some free national airtime.  Perhaps revenge is a dish best served… somewhat warm?
