You’ve got questions, he’s got answers…
We’ve been fortunate here at johnthenewsking to have been able to hear from John directly a few times. He’s a busy man, and with the thousands of requests and e-mails shot at him every day from campaign head-honchos, as well as all the other routine news he has to handle on a day-to-day basis, the fact that he even took a few moments at all to share his thoughts with his loyal viewers was truly special.
It started over the summer with a Q &A and was followed shortly thereafter by a Septmeber 11 reflection piece. Other places to find similar words of wisdom include John’s St. Anselm student Q&A, as well as his Hobart and William Smith commencement speech. More recently, he wrote in for a fabulous Q&A session with All Things Anderson.
It ain’t Letterman, but…

What was she thinking?
I’ve always felt that blogging at johnthenewsking has been a work in progress. Even though it’s been around for almost half a year, there are still days when I feel like I missed the mark… and in hindsight I want to put a virtual bag over my head!!
Below are a few blog posts that, when looking back, even I have to ask, “What was she thinking???”
07-31-07 (“Oh L’Amour”)
John’s personal life needn’t be a blog topic. Ever since, I made the editorial decision to never do it again.
08-31-07 (“The Chair”)
Somehow, posting a blog with a picture of chair and then teasing about it just doesn’t seem… normal.
09-30-07 (“A Malfunction Of The Non-Wardrobe Kind”)
If the only John King news I could come up with that day was about a minor microphone glitch, I think I should have seriously reconsidered what constitutes news!! The only redeeming quality of that post was the inclusion of some funny CNN blooper reels at the end.
10-15-07: (“Would You Shell Out $700.00 For This?”)
I must admit I was all doped up on several cans of Dr. Pepper when I wrote this blog post, which accounts for it’s, um, strangeness and the snarky remarks. I actually had to go through some Dr. Pepper withdrawal the next day! lol!
11-04-07 (“Election 2004 Flashback”)
Even though there is nothing wrong with posting an occasional gratuitous screencap, some days it seems like I unwittingly prove that old adage, “less is more”.
