IssuesFox's Griff Jenkins on Obama bike ride: "Where is he going? ... [M]aybe to get a pocket protector for his nerd pencils"
On the June 9 edition of Fox News' Live Desk with Martha MacCallum, blogger
and Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins said of a recent photo of Sen. Barack
Obama taking a bicycle ride: "Where
is he going? And I was thinking, maybe to get a pocket protector for his nerd
pencils. What is that?" Jenkins went on to contrast Obama's photo
with photos of President Bush and Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) taking bike rides,
describing Bush's photo as follows: "[Y]ou got a manly mountain bike coming down
the trails, a strong bike --
it fits him." He continued:
You got Kerry, looks like he's
doing the Ironman, very triathlete-looking. He
is an athlete of course and rides bikes competitively I'm told, back in
the day, and that's what the campaign was trying to do. And then they let
Senator Obama be seen with jeans and sneakers, looks like Jerry Seinfeld.
Following Jenkins' comments, host Martha MacCallum
stated, "I think you're being too hard on him. I think Barack Obama is so cool that
it's almost good for him to look a little bit nerdy -- 'cause he always looks so
cool." Jenkins responded: "Don't say that. Listen, somebody
on the Obama campaign --
I know it's tough to talk to your boss and you don't want to tell
him these hard things because he's running for president but please do it. You
gotta let him know."
From the June 9 edition of Fox News' Live Desk with Martha MacCallum:
MacCALLUM: And Barack Obama, taking a break from the campaign trail over
the weekend. He played
a little bit of golf,
we're told, he
took Michelle out for dinner,
and helped his 7-year-old daughter's slumber
party, which is always a sleepless night for any parent that's been through
that. But one weekend activity is getting some buzz on the blogs.
Griff Jenkins is a blogger at
Griffnotes.com and a Fox News correspondent. What? Put the picture back up
again, you guys.
JENKINS: Yeah.
MacCALLUM: What's wrong with -- what's wrong with him? He's going for a ride on his bike.
JENKINS: Well, here's what no
one's said yet, and Anita just asked me: Where
is he going? And I was thinking, maybe to get a pocket protector for his nerd
pencils. What is that?
MARC LAMONT HILL (Fox News
contributor): Looks like he's going --
MacCALLUM: You can't really see the back
tire, but in the other
picture, the back tire actually looks
like it's flat,
which is not a great image either. And Anita, you mentioned, like, you know, is he with his family?
ANITA KAY (attorney): Right. I mean, maybe he's with his kids or maybe
he's on the way
to the gas station to get air in the tires.
MacCALLUM: Maybe he's trying to ride his --
KAY: That's
a possibility.
MacCALLUM: -- bike instead of put gas in his car --
KAY: There you go.
MacCALLUM: -- which would be a good thing to do. But
let's pull up the other pictures that Griff points out on his blog of
John Kerry -- Senator
John Kerry biking and also President Bush. What's the comparison
you're making here,
Griff?
JENKINS: Look, you
got a manly mountain bike coming down the trails, a strong bike -- it fits him. You got
Kerry, looks like he's doing the Ironman, very triathlete-looking. He is an athlete of course and rides bikes
competitively I'm told, back in the day, and that's what the
campaign was trying to do. And then they let Senator Obama be seen with jeans
and sneakers, looks like Jerry Seinfeld.
MacCALLUM: I think you're being too hard
on him.
KAY: No.
MacCALLUM: I think Barack Obama is so cool that
it's almost good for him to look a little bit nerdy --
JENKINS: Do not --
MacCALLUM: -- 'cause he always looks so cool.
JENKINS: Don't say that.
Listen, somebody on the Obama campaign
-- I know it's tough to talk to your boss and you
don't want to tell him these hard things because he's running for president --
MacCALLUM: I know.
JENKINS: -- but please do it. You
gotta let him know.

The lawsuit, seeking unspecified damages for copyright and trademark infringement, was brought Monday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan by Missy Chase Lapine, the author of "The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals."
"Jerry Seinfeld is an enormously wealthy and well-known comedian, and Jessica Seinfeld is his wife, but that does not give them license to slander and plagiarize," the lawsuit said.
The Seinfelds' lawyer, Richard Menaker, disputed Lapine's claims of defamation and plagiarism and suggested Lapine was seeking
