Jim Acosta is smug, and no court ruling changes that

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

So CNN’s Jim Acosta scored some court points with a ruling that orders the White House to give back his press pass, at least for the time being.

But he still presents as a smug elitist.

He presented as an out-of-touch elitist the day he jerked away from the arm of the reaching White House intern — the day he refused to cede the microphone and cede the floor and cede his time to the many other journalists who were patiently waiting to pose questions to the president.

But post-ruling, caught on camera walking from the courthouse, Acosta moved a shade snippier into outright smug zone.

Now the story is all about him. Not that it wasn’t already — seriously, does anyone even remember the line of questioning that drove Acosta to take the path of least courteous in the first place? In a phrase: Google search.

But now the story has morphed to Acosta versus the White House. Acosta versus the president. The little CNN guy takes on the big bad Donald Trump wolf. It’s ‘look at me, I’m Jim Acosta and I’m taking on the president.’ Why? Why, ‘because I can, dang it.’

I think those who say "put him in the back and ignore him" have the right of it.

Acosta can enjoy his victory by never being called on again.

Smug?  He is a first-class pr*ck.

He will be relegated to having a talking head show on CNN similar to the obnoxious Chris Matthews.
