Republican Senator pwned by high school student journalist

[CptStern]

Republican state Senator John Huppenthal of being the brightest bulb in the state GOP's closet...

But local student journalist Keith Wagner of Tempe's Corona del Sol High School has done Huppenthal's septuagenarian combatant one better by interviewing Huppenthal and politely, quietly skewering him, confronting the smarmy state Senator with his vote to gut funding to the state's Career and Technical Education programs. This, after Huppenthal bemoans such cuts.

The result is freaking hilarious, with Huppenthal so flummoxed that he has to get up and walk away. Keep in mind, Huppenthal is currently campaigning for the GOP nod for Arizona schools superintendent.

Haha, oh man. That was excellent. His reaction was just like how Michael Scott from The Office would have reacted.

We need more kids like that, with their "gotcha" journalism.

"Let's move on."

LOL

"Off course it won't. We're going to keep these programs...alive."

Man, that must take balls to make someone feel that awkward and stupid.

 

[flamingdts]

Hahahaha, he went to look up the internet.

 

[Tyguy]

so he just left and didn't come back? ya, he should be in a position of power.

 

[No Limit]

Ahaahaha. Awesome.

We need more kids like that, with their "gotcha" journalism.

Or, rather, we need less incompetent f*cktards in power.

That student journalist have my respect just for not laughing out loud.

Not sure if this was a sarcastic comment like it sounded, but I don't believe the kid intended for that to happen. So yes, it did take balls to stand up to a person running for a powerful seat in government and ask why Huppenthal did what he did when it was clearly a touchy subject that Huppenthal would rather have people forget about.

So don't be like that.

I didn't think he was being sarcastic.
