ABC is showing their support of Asa Eslocker, the producer for the station who was arrested at the DNC for trying to film high-rolling VIP Democrats at a private shindig. Even though Eslocker apparently used a corporate credit card to release himself on bail, everyone at ABC is just shaking their head and chuckling. Charlie Gibson is even going to blog about it!
"We got a kick out of the fact he swiped his corporate credit card to put up the five hundred. The charge of trespassing against him still stands. But the video of the incident shot by our crew clearly shows him standing on a public sidewalk with many other people on the same sidewalk. We hope the charges will be dropped."
Then Chuck G. goes into a long story about a time he got arrested at the 1984 conventions, proving once again that old people don't know how to write for the Internet. He'd be lucky if your ADD meds kicked in for long enough to get to the end of that quote.
I'd have to think that if you get arrested while doing your job, posting bail with your corporate card would be considered a legitimate business expense.
Hopefully Eslocker gets reimbursed by ABC…
