I love Paul Solman’s economic/business beat reporting on the PBS NewsHour, but is he really so clueless?
GINA ESPINOZA: I was the only female manager at all of the meetings that we had, district meetings and such. And these guys were just, you know, wanting to have their meetings at Hooters.
PAUL SOLMAN: What’s Hooters?
CHRIS KWAPNOSKI: Hooters. You never heard of Hooters?
CLAUDIA RENATI: The dress code is short- short-short shorts and skimpy little tops.
WOMAN: You get titillating moments at Hooters.
PAUL SOLMAN: And hooters are?
CHRIS KWAPNOSKI: Hooters.
WOMAN: Hooters.
PAUL SOLMAN: Breasts.
CHRIS KWAPNOSKI: There you go.
Sometimes the LNH folks play dumb so that experts will dumb down technical references for the general audience. Somehow, I don’t think that’s what’s going on here.
