2008 Oh, the People You’ll Meet

Whatever the prize is, this guy wins it:
Just look at that smug jackass. In fact, let’s take a closer look at that smug jackass:
That’s Daniel Kramer, from Sacramento, having his photo taken with protestors who are two barricades away. He runs a p.r. firm and says the protests seem “unique.”
Unique?
“They seem rather coordinated. They look almost violent. And it’s surprising—most of those folks look well-off, well-to-do. If I didn’t know better, I’d think some of them were getting paid to be out here. M-hm.”
There’s no other description for a guy like this: He is pure, distilled jackassery.
Why didn't you punch him in the throat?
That tie, with that shirt, with that suit, with these commas, makes me want to fucking kill.
All political parties are full of smug jackasses who think they know more than the rest of us. That is why they are politicians.
"They look almost violent."
This man does not know violence.
"I work for a PR firm" should've been your first clue.
Look Muffy, Protesters! Aren't they cute? I feel like we're at some sort of liberal zoo! Do you have any mari-jah-wana or forty ounce malt liquor beverages we can feed them?
Smug guy, whatever. I am completely distracted by what appears to be a woman in a Darth Vader helmet behind him.
When the revolution comes to Sacramento, you'll be on the other side of that fence, brother.
The smile is the source of the reality distortion field.
*MUST...SUSTAIN...SMILE..NNGGGHGH!*
They look so well off that the probably have one of those high-dollar paid protester jobs? And here I thought if you hired somebody to protest they'd smell like the ones who get paid to stand in line.
Notice, the slight backwards cocked hips? That's the true sign of a tightass douchebag. To quote the great scholar F. Bueller, "if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond."
i bit OT, but I saw the helmet right away also... the morphing of the police into imperial stormtroopers is rather disturbing
Peace sells...but who's buying?
A google search of his name turned up:
Dan Kramer is the head of the Nichols-Dezenhall office in Sacramento.
Dezenhall Resources, formerly known as Nichols-Dezenhall, is a PR company whose trademark is its "aggressive" campaigns to counter community activist groups. It has been called "the pit bull of public relations."
Clients:
Jeffrey Skilling - Former Enron CEO
Mark J. Geragos - Los Angeles attorney for Michael Jackson.
Eli Lilly & Co - Pharmaceutical corporation
The Association of American Publishers
The American Meat Institute lists the company on its website as one with a crisis management capability suitable for its members.
I hate his stupid tie knot.
Represented Skilling? Jackass who really knows what "well off" means.
Let's see a picture of those protesters.
You must not have met many politicians if you think this guy is the apogee of smug.
Kiley - He presents a nice counterpoint to your pure, distilled douchebaggery. After the decent coverage provided of the DNC, is this sort of garbage the best The Stranger can do? What a disappointment. At least you didn't make up a bullshit quote this time in order to frame your story (like your previous crock-o-crap about the Prada loafers). Looking forward to this amateur hour being over.
Come on Stranger I thought you could do much better than this.
Lame. Not funny. Not interesting.
You guys won't be getting offers from The Daily Show anytime soon.
Yeah, they're being paid by the Iraquis to end the war.
Makes sense.
I still think yesterday's knob-head was funnier.
The Republicans have been hoping for violence so they can show "middle-America" how evil liberals really are. Of course it is the protesters violating the Republicans right to peacefully assemble and voice their free speech.
Even his smile looks like a lie.
