John Mayer Goes Nuts On New York Reporter

All you John Mayer haters are going to love this bizarro story from New York Magazine. The "world-renowned blues singer" really did not want to be interrupted getting his drink on the other night...
...and subjected a poor, innocent young reporter just trying to break into the business to what we hope was a joke... but certainly doesn't read that way. Here are the high points:
What's your overall opinion [of Obama's Nobel]?
Do you think I'm smart enough to be able to articulate to you why our president receiving the Nobel Peace Prize is a bit early for things? What's your overall opinion?I don't think it's a bad thing, but maybe someone else deserved it more.
Who? If you don't know who else should have gotten it instead of Obama, I love you, you're beautiful, but shut your fucking mouth.What do you think about health care? Would you take the public option?
Have you ever heard me play guitar? I'm really fucking good. You know what I'm bad at? Answering questions about public health care. This is not in my wheelhouse.
The reporter wisely changes the subject to Mayer's new record, but things quickly redirect to the ninth circle of douchebaggery:
Do you get paid for this?
You can't grow a beard?
It's a pituitary thing. I know you're not that much of a moron.These are questions my editor wanted me to ask. I'm trying to build my journalistic career here.
You're not building a journalistic career. You're making yourself look like a moron and you're not a moron.
And back to the album, but they just couldn't stay there... Mayer had to mention a concept on his record.
What concept?
More political things, worldly things.Such as?
Nothing rhymed with public option.You don't always have to rhyme, though.
I'm going to forcefully sodomize your editor.

I don't blame him! Couldn't the journo build her career by conducting a planned interview instead of bombarding someone at a party?
Shit I need John Mayer at my house to take calls from telemarketers!
Oh, c'mon ... that's pretty funny, even in print. It isn't as though he went Billy Bob Thorton.
I thought it was funny too, even though I think the guy is a tool.
Now you say something
