Fan girl, journo … same difference, apparently.

Yes. Yes, it did. As Twitchy reported, attendees of an Obama speech last night fled the speech early and headed for the exits. Lapdogs? Befuddled! Take a look at this absurdity from Politico’s Jennifer Epstein.

After waiting a long time for a POTUS speech, don't you want to hear the whole thing? And not just take a phone pic or two and then leave? — Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) October 19, 2014

Um.

Hey, Ms. Epstein, we are givers so we’ll let you in on a little secret: Check this out for some reasons people would flee an Obama speech early.

Epstein wasn’t finished.

Think it was probably trying to avoid bad traffic that the crowds streaming out of PG County Obama-Brown rally. Still, highly unusual. — Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) October 19, 2014

That’s her story and she’s sticking to it!

@jeneps traffic on a Sunday evening? — Jimmy (@JimmyPrinceton) October 19, 2014

Snicker.

But whatever, guys! Obama is still super awesome and stuff.

For all the talk about diminished enthusiasm (& ppl leaving MD rally early), must note that POTUS drew 14,200 at two events today — Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) October 20, 2014

Bless. Her. Heart.

Seriously. Read @jeneps. She just cannot believe people would leave an Obama speech for any reason that would reflect poorly on him. — Cindy Cooper (@CindyCoops) October 19, 2014

Twitter users gave her the business and reminded her of a few things.

.@jeneps Did you stomp your foot as you typed this? — Maria Van Daele (@MFVanDaele) October 19, 2014

@jeneps maybe they aren't as big a fan of him as all you in the media are? Just a thought. — Domenic (@Domenic_Re) October 19, 2014

@jeneps Is your admiration for him why you so obediently allow him to censor you and why you simply regurgitate his talking points? — NDT (@NorthDallas30) October 19, 2014

Plus, Ms. Epstein, you have one job. ONE JOB.

Bingo.

Hey @jeneps , why are you asking this on twitter? Shouldn't reporters ask the people themselves? You're too afraid to ask, maybe? — laura w (@laurww) October 20, 2014

Ding, ding, ding!

@laurww @gabrielmalor @jeneps too afraid of having to report the answers I suspect. Nobody wants to get yelled at by a WH lackey #courage — John (@johninUT) October 20, 2014

Maybe Obama WH reporters have yet again been forbidden from interviewing. Her tweet may be a cry for help. @johninUT @gabrielmalor @jeneps — laura w (@laurww) October 20, 2014

@laurww @johninUT @gabrielmalor @jeneps Exactly. They tweeted crowd went right by pool table.They cld have just yelled "Why r u leaving?" — Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) October 20, 2014

@laurww @johninUT @gabrielmalor @jeneps I imagine them bewildered at the table. "why are people leaving??? How can we find out??" — Kathleen McKinley (@KatMcKinley) October 20, 2014

Gasping!

Aching sides.

But, there’s this!

.@HeyTammyBruce well, at least she succeeded in furnishing the @PressSec with their spin, should the subject come up…smh. — Lady Goodman (@LadyGoodman3) October 19, 2014

Yep.

Or maybe it's like seeing a train wreck MT @jeneps: It was probably trying to avoid bad traffic… crowds streaming out of… Obama rally — Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) October 19, 2014

Heh.

And an exit question for the oh-so-unbiased journo:

@jtLOL @jeneps How long should one linger at a car wreck? — Joel Engel (@joelengel) October 19, 2014
