Medill Grad David Chalian Opens Up When He Thinks the Mike is Off
David Chalian per Northwestern University
David Chalian is not your usual political journalist. As political director of ABC News, he’s well aware that the 2008 presidential campaign has been “literally a once-in-a-lifetime story.” But when asked why he finds politics so compelling, he answers from the perspective of someone who majored not only in political science at Northwestern but also in theater, his first love.
“In politics, as in theater, you learn that the story is king — what the playwright gives you makes you or breaks you,” Chalian (C95) says in his fifth-floor office at ABC’s Washington, D.C., bureau. “To me, presidential politics is something bigger — Shakespearean, Greek.
And here’s David when he thinks no one is listening
In video broadcast Monday night by ABC and Yahoo over the Internet, Chalian can be heard claiming that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife Ann are unconcerned about the fate of residents of the New Orleans area who are currently being hit by Hurricane Isaac.
“They aren’t concerned at all,” Chalian can be heard on the live broadcast. “They are happy to have a party with black people drowning.”
That line elicits laughter from several employees listening in on the joke.

the left is all about playing the race card, they live for it, they need it to win if you would just wake up and realize they need you, NO THEY USE YOU! (people of color) to keep voting them into office they keep you dependent so they can keep the power. you need to vote for somone that would help impove your situation and allowing you to help yourselves insted of keeping their bootes on your neck to keep you dependent on the goverment theydo this so you keep voting them into office, wake up you are better than this, you are a strong people, stop playing the victom and vote for somone that will help you help yourself
its time to wake up
If you’ve been watching the coverage from Louisiana, you might have noticed that, actually, a pretty sizable majority of the people who were in danger of drowning down there are white! (And that they were in the towns and rural parishes outside of New Orleans.) What was Chalian trying to say here–that he cares only about blacks drowning in a hurricane, but if it’s whites who are in danger, then it’s okay for the GOP to throw a party anyway? Just amazing how the minds of the Left work–or, rather, how they don’t work.
