CNN's WH correspondent, John King, ripped, indirectly, both NBC News and prime anchor, Brian Williams, for a skit involving President Obama's endorsement of new Tonight Show host, Conan O'Brien.

King: "It's my school of journalism, it may not be everyone else's school of journalism, but it's my school of journalism is that I interview all these guys with respect. I respect the office, I respect the people, I respect anybody that puts themselves out there like that. But, I, you know, I need to protect myself and my integrity and my credibility, and the President of the United States, you know, God bless him, God bless the one before him, and God bless the next 200 to come. I'm not going to ask them for an endorsement or a product endorsement. I think that's way over the line."

To be frank, King is semi-right, but take a look at the video and tell me this isn't funny.

Ladies and gentlemen, yes, we do have a remarkably new and unusually fresh, (thank god) modern president, who eats hamburgers and hot dogs in public places, and took his wife on a date to a play in NY. What's NOT to like?
