Note to self: Don't forget to pack the other 5 recorders!

gawker.com — We count six recording devices in the hands of the woman on the right. Why? Is she covering for five colleagues on a smoke break? Is she presenting them as an offering to Press Corps God Barack Obama?

  • KenSPT, on 03/07/2008, -1/+52She's compensating for something ...
    • bluezinc, on 03/07/2008, -6/+22She's compensating for the amount of win radiating from Obama.

      Please ignore Texas and Ohio, the country hates those states anyway.
      • hokie47, on 03/07/2008, -4/+11Really. Ohio Voter On 60 Minutes: I Hear Obama Is Muslim, Doesn't Know National Anthem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/02/ohio-vote ...
        I rather tired of these stereotypical fat white "working men" who think they are all important and know everything.

        I wish Obama would say that he is a ***** idiot, but he can't
      • hokie47, on 03/07/2008, -0/+14http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/02/ohio-vote ...

        Really how hard is it to program the site to not break links. I am not that great of a programmer but I think I could fix something like this in a few hours.
      • sjbdallas, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3I've been to Ohio so i'm tempted to agree with that half of your statement HOWEVER, I take offense to the other half.
    • nalimca, on 03/07/2008, -2/+1Yep. In the next photo, this 100 year old lady only holds one device - listenup!
    • juckman, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Small penis? Err.. not that I'm into that..
    • streak, on 03/07/2008, -2/+1Amazingly, she's also responsible for delivering Obama's Nicorette gum, so he can keep his cool on through long interviews and debates.
  • Braeden, on 03/07/2008, -2/+49Heh, here's another shot of her: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8V84EL80& ...
  • gypsi, on 03/07/2008, -0/+38always have a backup
    • bluezinc, on 03/07/2008, -0/+30and a backup and a backup and a backup and a backup.

      You never know when your first 4 recorders will simultaneously fail.
    • gormlens, on 03/07/2008, -8/+4"now you can.....with 'Time Machine'....new to leopard"
    • SkippyDoorknob, on 03/07/2008, -0/+13The ironic thing is that the recordings on all of them are probably full of clacking and scraping noises from all of those being rubbed together.
    • ToRoE, on 03/07/2008, -0/+13Not to mention the reason for having a backup, would be for batteries or out of space. If you are USING all your back-ups, you have no back-up. fail x 6
  • ChaosProfessor, on 03/07/2008, -8/+100i was recently diagnosed with ADHD so this picture cookie dough is really good
    • chrisaug18, on 03/07/2008, -1/+23not bad, not bad
    • colouredlights, on 03/07/2008, -19/+4hahahah that was one of the funniest cookie dough is really good
    • Ibox, on 03/07/2008, -4/+1Can me has cookedoe
    • Bologner, on 03/07/2008, -5/+2Dude, are you re- ooo, shiny red ball!
    • PrettyMuchBryce, on 03/07/2008, -2/+1That sucks. I disjucksin have thought disorder mortar quarters are steamray contrary to lawn fairys but shame on appetite. i mean shame on you on you on you on you on you.
  • ToMZiLLA, on 03/07/2008, -3/+9Product placement
  • kmckanna, on 03/07/2008, -23/+13Maybe she is like "How do I put this ***** this together?"
    • coppyrightmind, on 03/07/2008, -3/+43what?
      • kmckanna, on 03/07/2008, -11/+1She has a look on her face like she is confused and maybe she has to put "it" together.

        It was a JOKE. If you can't figure it out after that, then bless your soul.
        • sea5ons, on 03/07/2008, -1/+12I think he is confused because you said "How do I put this ***** THIS together?"
          • kmckanna, on 03/07/2008, -8/+1Did you not notice the quotes? Did you not pass the 6th grade where the use of quotations was implemented in your English class? That would be QUOTING what someone says (or hypothetically) quoting what she might have been thinking.

            Wow Digg me down, but some people on Digg are just retards.
          • TannerPwnz, on 03/07/2008, -2/+2lol. LOL. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOOL
          • mackattack22, on 03/07/2008, -3/+0it is obvious that she has bad grammar or a stutter...some people indeed


          • Dubbsacc, on 03/07/2008, -1/+3@kmckanna - the "quote" you're looking for is "How do I put this ***** THING together?"
          • CCoe, on 03/07/2008, -1/+2My god kmckanna. You've reached that state of rage where you call anyone that tries to help you on the internet a retard, while fervently defending yourself in a completely nonsensical way. Dude, this has nothing to do with quotations - your first comment made NO SENSE. You quoted her as thinking, "how do I put this ***** THIS together?" Just... take another look before you rip into ME like an idiot.
    • vat0r, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Amazing..
    • cryonix, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1he said he would pay me $100 to take off all my clothes off
  • SuperWinner, on 03/07/2008, -3/+82Makes me wonder if she uses that many devices in other circumstances...
    • makkaveli19, on 03/07/2008, -9/+2well she does have exactly 5* holes
      • CondiRice, on 03/07/2008, -2/+2If you're counting nostrils you may as well count ears too!
        • Dubbsacc, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Your dick can fit in there?

          I'm sorry....
      • KraftDinner101, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3True, but out of the 3 penetrable holes, you could always DP ass and vag.
  • coppyrightmind, on 03/07/2008, -0/+16He's probably wondering why she won't go away.
  • Waskonator, on 03/07/2008, -3/+108Actually, she is trying to beat the world record of "Most Tetris games played simultaneously."
    Obama wanted a shot at it.
  • borez, on 03/07/2008, -10/+38She has a second job as a professional dog walker

    http://www.dailyhaha.com/_pics/dog_walker.jpg
  • coheedcollapse, on 03/07/2008, -10/+3Maybe she's selling the extra recorders on ebay. I'm sure it'll interest a few weird collectors out there.
  • minimalist147, on 03/07/2008, -20/+3here's the vid: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU&feature=rel ...
    • cubbiesx, on 03/07/2008, -2/+1dammit.
    • dserfaty, on 03/07/2008, -2/+1aaaargh!
    • Qtip42, on 03/07/2008, -2/+11If you couldn't tell just by looking at the link, you're an idiot. Rick roll is getting verrrry old very quick...
  • Lane, on 03/07/2008, -1/+8Maybe it's a photo op and really there are only 4 people around obama?
    • SSUK, on 03/07/2008, -1/+6Shhhhhhh! How many times must we tell you people, the real answer isn't funny. =(
  • colouredlights, on 03/07/2008, -0/+11those are her fingers
    • SkippyDoorknob, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8"Susie Recorder-Hands" coming this summer from Tim Burton.
  • mattcoady, on 03/07/2008, -1/+34C'mon guys. Obviously it'll be 6 times as loud now. Color me impressed.
  • ashen078, on 03/07/2008, -9/+4She's schizerphirnic.
    • Zaggynl, on 03/07/2008, -0/+12No definition were found for schizerphirnic
      Did you mean: schizophrenic?
  • empirefalling, on 03/07/2008, -9/+3History in the making..Your next president.
    • hobbitsareneat, on 03/07/2008, -1/+9Hopefully!!
    • ours, on 03/07/2008, -1/+10We don't all live in the US. So it's your president.
      But congratulations anyway, he sounds better then the last one (despite the bar being quite low).
      • xyqxyq, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1YOU LIVE IN THE US IF I SAY YOU LIVE IN THE US!
    • GhostyBoy, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2And already surrounded by obnoxious fanboys and girls that will no doubt stick up for him regardless of whether or not he makes a good decision.

      Sorry, but the last 8 years has been insufferable mainly because of people who blindly support their leaders. I could see it happening again.
  • hobbitsareneat, on 03/07/2008, -6/+11Obamas like.. "uhh get this crazy bitch away from me"
    • hihyooka, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1I bet it's not the first time he's said that either...
  • Hakonan, on 03/07/2008, -13/+3That's how the Times gets multiple sources.
  • sonofabeast, on 03/07/2008, -13/+3You've heard the allegations... now watch the video!!!!!! omg he's screwed

  • UCFartstudntJON, on 03/07/2008, -10/+12I, for one, welcome our new extremely dexterous, spider-hand journalist overlords.
    • jriggs420, on 03/07/2008, -0/+3Haha-
      Fart student. What's your major? Taco Bell?
      Damn liberal arts...
    • NinjaBoy, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Dugg for being a UC Fart Student
  • neopherine, on 03/07/2008, -12/+7I would do her...
  • chris9902, on 03/07/2008, -2/+162Dolby 5.1 reporting. It's the future.
  • daftie, on 03/07/2008, -0/+24You should see her backpack. 10 pounds of batteries.
  • SSUK, on 03/07/2008, -1/+39Audiophiles... They sure are crazy.
  • daxsymbiont, on 03/07/2008, -8/+2oh ffs, it's not all for the same reporter. think.
  • WaltDismal, on 03/07/2008, -6/+111If you look carefully, you'll see they are all on a plane, and there is not enough aisle space for many reporters to get close. She is a worker holding recorders for other reporters not in the shot. It is simply too crowded for everyone to get next to Obama. It's not a case of her being weird. Gawker is being dumb in this case.
    • zydeco, on 03/07/2008, -1/+14Every adsense hit counts. Not so dumb since you all are digging it.
    • falkonv7l, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5Profit! take these back to the five or so reporters waiting in the terminal, and auction them off.
  • A11YND, on 03/07/2008, -0/+16obviously she's multi-tracking.
  • Codee, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8Nice a juggler. I'll keep her.
    • Dubbsacc, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1I would prefer if she only juggled two...
  • kjw0116, on 03/07/2008, -1/+0obama's pissed off
    • motivatedmama, on 03/07/2008, -1/+0I don't think Obama knows how to be pissed off, lol. Mellooowww fellow!!!
      Although Alan Keys reeeally came close....read: The Audacity Of Hope.
  • jstem1994, on 03/07/2008, -0/+5I think she couldn't decide which mp3 she wanted to hear.
  • UrbanVoyeur, on 03/07/2008, -0/+11some record the big words, others the little words. and a couple are just for punctuation.
  • Millan, on 03/07/2008, -8/+2I was going to flag as inaccurate because even on my iPhone I can clearly see 6 recorders in her hands, but then I realized that the excessiveness is still hilarious!
    • osbjmg, on 03/07/2008, -0/+10That is why the submitter said "other 5 recorders", this refers to others in addition to an initial one. Get it?
      • jamesdew, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6I guess you couldn't see that on your iphone
  • finanigan, on 03/07/2008, -2/+0Fault tolerant recording.
  • roblibob, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Phones so her colleagues can tap in on the comments?
  • reaper527, on 03/07/2008, -2/+8So this is how they make 5.1 sound ;)
  • Bagrad, on 03/07/2008, -1/+7Barack looks like a badass on that picture.
  • urnrg, on 03/07/2008, -2/+0exessive.jpg?
  • OverkillTASF, on 03/07/2008, -0/+30My recorders! Let me show you them!
  • AllYourBase3, on 03/07/2008, -0/+9but is she 5 recorders cool?
  • zomgorly, on 03/07/2008, -1/+7People still use cassette recorders?
  • justjoehere, on 03/07/2008, -2/+3Multiple sources report that Obama said.....
    • AngeloM3, on 03/07/2008, -0/+2Very original! Thats definitely not the first comment on the actual page.... definitely not

      "by whymanwhy at 12:58 PM on 03/06/08
      Thats how the times gets multiple sources"
  • nalimca, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Because, er, yes, she can.
  • n0nsense, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1That's a new meaning for "surround-sound" interviewing :D
  • hokie47, on 03/07/2008, -1/+6Don't they know they can just copy the sound file to everyone?
  • ABashore, on 03/07/2008, -7/+2Thats how the times gets multiple sources
    • guy6600crazy, on 03/07/2008, -0/+6Sigh.. At least don't copy comments!
    • getsk3wled, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4PLAGIARISM ALERT!
    • AngeloM3, on 03/07/2008, -0/+4 by whymanwhy at 12:58 PM on 03/06/08

      Thats how the times gets multiple sources

      BAM!!! caught red-handed!
  • evolvingthought, on 03/07/2008, -4/+0She's a powerpoint lover, who has to hear a different sound effect before each point is made.
  • test5477, on 03/07/2008, -0/+8she's covering for the people in the bathroom.
  • zebragrrl, on 03/07/2008, -0/+1Maybe she's had batteries fail, or had one run out of tape/memory before.. so she's got 2.. 3.. 4.. maybe the last time she did this she ended up with some unintelligible garbage on her recorder.. so she wants a backup. Maybe she's recording for EVPs?

    Or maybe... she just got a whole bunch of recorders at the store, and wants to find out which one will work best for her? So she's gonna use them all at once and then check out which ones giver her the best sound...

    Maybe she found them.... they fell off a truck.. wink-wink-nudge-nudge
  • iamanorange, on 03/07/2008, -1/+4Is this what the media mean when they have multiple sources?
