CNN's Handwriting Analysis

01/21/2009 by Peter Hart

Wolf Blitzer and David Gergen, watching Obama sign official papers yesterday in the Oval Office:

BLITZER: And if you've ever seen Barack Obama's signature, he is very precise when he writes, and it's -- and if he writes, he scribbles some words before he signs an autograph, for example. His penmanship, I must say -- and I've seen it -- is really excellent.

GERGEN: He's got a little flourish to that signature.

BLITZER: He has a great flourish. And it's very impressive.

    This would be hysterical, if it wasn't.

    Right up there with the whole Jackie O/Michelle O comparison schtick.

    (I really have no idea if any corpress dips are engaging in such … but I'd be sorely tempted to bet on it, wouldn't you?)

    CNN, what a bunch of posers. They think good journalism is swirling graphics, multiple split screens and crawling text. Sheesh.
