White House beat or Tiger Beat? CNN journa-stalker creeps on Obama
http://twitter.com/#!/NFloridaWriter/status/292827580309053440
Oh, the shame. CNN’s Tom Foreman has written a letter to President Obama every day. Every. Day. No word yet if there has been a pillow fight between him and simpering Suzanne Malveaux, who was ready to throw her panties on stage at last year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Read it before they pull it. CNN “reporter” @tomforemancnn wrote Obama letters EVERY DAY FOR FOUR YEARS. cnn.com/2013/01/18/pol…

That’s right. CNN even highlighted the creeptastic letters as something good. Foremen sadly took pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, for the last time. Unrequited love, oh how it hurts! His first letter:
Dear Mr. President,
Congratulations! Watching you on that podium today, surrounded by so many hundreds of thousands of Americans, I could not help but feel inspired by the miracle of democracy and the greatness of our nation. I also have a question: Do you have any idea what you’ve gotten yourself into?
I know you are busy today, but call when you can.
Regards,
Tom
Call me! Maybe! It gets creepier from there. He echoes the “call me” suggestion over and over. And as his letter writing obsession winds down to his alleged self-imposed cease time, you can just feel the tears. Reading his letters is totally like reading the tear-stained diary of a teenage Emo chick. Set your iPod to “Everybody Hurts,” break out the cloves for atmosphere and start reading. It will be to your benefit: Giggling is cardio!
Twitter has been buzzing over the creeptastic Foreman for days. Mockery really is the best medicine.
Awww, how cute. @tomforemancnn, this is just too presh. #p2 #tcot #lnyhbt #msm #ocra #resist44 @cnn #obamaboy #Obama twitter.com/Shaughn_A/stat…

CNN ‘journalist” Tom Forman has written a letter to POTUS every single day since he was elected weaselzippers.us/2013/01/19/obs… #creepy

If you’ve written POTUS 1,460 times you maybe on the Secret Service watch list. Or you’re a CNN journalist. Either/OrCc: @tomforemancnn

Heard you wrote fangirl letters to Obama every day for 4 years. You do realize there’s a TigerBeat magazine for that, right? @tomforemancnn

@tomforemancnn so you stalked @barackobama your lord and savior for 4 years? Creepy… Are you in love with him? I thought @cnn was centrist

A Twitter account responds. It is unverified; is it the real mooning Tom Foreman?

@jackassletters good idea
— tomforemancnn (@tomforemancnn) January 20, 2013
Please be a parody account. Otherwise, that’s just sad.
Hilarity ensues, as Twitter continues to buzz with the unbelievably creepy news.
There is serious mental illness in the press corps and addressing it is more important than any Second Amendment issue: ac360.blogs.cnn.com/category/lette…

@garymic Definitely need something for those making hiring decisions at CNN. Put Tom Foreman in a cage. Now.
— David Chugg (@DavidChugg) January 19, 2013
CNN Political Correspondent writes a letter to Obama every single day in his first term, and still going. #wtf #wacko ac360.blogs.cnn.com/category/lette…

@fuimfunny The first few times I saw Tom Foreman, I was sure it was Darrell Hammond doing an impression of someone.
— jimgeraghty (@jimgeraghty) January 20, 2013
@jimgeraghty I love at the end of all the grand standing they have to add, the president never called and we’re not sure he even read them
— Paul Geraghty (@fuimfunny) January 20, 2013
At least he didn’t stand outside the White House with a boombox playing “In Your Eyes.”
Yet.
Hi @barackoama – This is Day One of what will become 1,460 letters. You don’tmind do you? Yours, @tomforemancnn
— LilMissTeamOffense (@LilMissRightie) January 19, 2013
Hi @barackoama – Can I have some hair clippings? If that’s too much to ask, nail clippings would do. You had me at hello, @tomforemancnn
— LilMissTeamOffense (@LilMissRightie) January 19, 2013
He completes him!
Hi @barackoama – This one goes out to you. youtube.com/watch?v=5JVhbu… XOXOXO, @tomforemancnn
— LilMissTeamOffense (@LilMissRightie) January 19, 2013
Don’t give him any ideas. Is another letter writing campaign on the horizon? The alleged Tom Foreman Twitter account swooned over Julie Mason a few months ago.
@juliemason your show absolutely rocks…like T Rex in the day. Loving the tunes and talk.

Hi @barackoama – “I never meant to get in this deep” (actual quote btw). youtube.com/watch?v=pmDkqv… With all myheart,@tomforemancnn
— LilMissTeamOffense (@LilMissRightie) January 19, 2013
Shudder.
This Twitter user points out that Foreman isn’t really alone.
CNN writes Love Letters to Obama Everyday – & that’s just their news coverage, not even counting their “Journalist” Tom Foreman’s letters.
— Leaping Lemurs (@practicetheory) January 20, 2013
And this one puts it all in a hilarious nutshell.
Keep in mind that the same guy who hired Tom Foreman at CNN is the same guy who hired Piers Morgan. And they wonder why no one watches them.

Zing! It’s funny, because it’s true.
Four years in the life of a simpering teen journalist. Thanks for the giggles, at least, Mr. Foreman!
