A gaggle of White House press reporters caught White House Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway entering the West Wing this morning and predictably peppered her with many questions of the news of the day.

How did Ms. Conway respond to questions a the press corps with a sole purpose to cover the President of the United States?

“Why is everybody so obsessed with the President of the United States that they can’t even begin or finish a sentence without mentioning his name five times.” In case her odd incredulity of the questions was lost, she added  “It’s kind of weird.”

A skeptic might find it kind of weird that she takes issue with reporters doing their jobs, but others may find her obfuscation and “best defense is a good offense” approach to be a refreshingly candid play to the base.
