CNN anchor John King’s “magic wall” sent him over the edge when his beloved touch screen jammed.
The DC-based anchor had a meltdown while anchoring his 7 p.m. show, “John King USA,” from CNN’s New York studio just days before the midterm elections.
After a slew of technical and editorial errors, King lost his cool when his signature and somewhat overworked touch screen malfunctioned.
“I wish I brought a gun to work,” King yelled at studio operators on Oct. 29, according to several CNN sources.
What is it with these fucking election technologies blabbing away about their bosses to Page Six? Shut up and tell us about the Twitter and be thankful you have a job. You’re not hard to replace. [NYP via Daily Intel]

As long as the hologram machine still functions CNN should be OK.
At least John King didn't blame the Jews.
Isn't he a Jew, now? Not that he'd be the first self-loathing Jew or anything.
Dear John King,
If you decide to come to work strapped, could you do us all a favor and blow away Blitzer?
That's the only acceptable way to use the words "blow" and "Blitzer" in the same sentence.
John King doesn't care about touchscreens!
then what will distract the sheep while he lobs softballs to Dick Cheney sans follow-up?
Fuck it! We'll do it two-dimensionally
Maybe all this touch technology has over stimulated Mr. King. He is obviously frustrated because he keeps touching and touching and touching but not getting any touchy backy. The guy needs to rub one out. Let the chubbing begin.
No matter what challenges you've overcome or problems you've solved in a day, success always boils down to if the Snickers bar drops flawlessly to the tray or not. Too.
"Show me on the wall where John King touch screened you."
"Mr. King, I'm Chris Hansen with NBC News. Why have you been sexting and sending nude pictures of yourself to this touch screen that is not even a few years old?"
Bringing a gun to work never solves anything, but it does get your co-workers to leave you the fuck alone.
Luckily, no one was watching.
At FOX News, they won't let you through the door without a gun.
I'll bet he was able to get through his whole snit-fit and handgun-threatening without getting a hair out of place.
You gotta love that hair. Watch out, John Ensign!
"I wish I brought a gun to work" is not funny, Mr. King. If I was the boss, I'd have armed security guys escort you out and we'd dump your desk's contents into a box with your address on it., after removing all the company pens you swiped, you bastard.
Sadly, lots of people recognize his face so somehow he doesn't get held to the same standards as we do.
I love the whole "guns don't kill people, people do." talking point. It'd be great if everyone would just add "guns don't kill people, but people…with guns do."
Look, the gun just happened to be there, officer. It didn't do anything- well, okay, maybe it swiped a fifty from the register, but that's it, I swear.
How 'bout "Weed doesn't make people high….people do?"
That's not quite right, I'll have to work on it. But you get my point. I have more where that came from.
"Things in which Eliot Spitzer has stuck his dick"
The touch screen or John King?
Fortunately he was not so careless as to forget to bring his Fleshlight to work. It's velcroed to the underside of his desk for ready access.
Hmph liberal media. At Fox someone would have had a gun.
