Remember Damon Weaver? The fifth-grade Florida reporter who called Vice-President elect Joe Biden his “home-boy”? The kid who has been working real hard to get an interview with Biden’s boss? Well it looks like the kid might pull it off because the Presidential Inaugural Committee just gave him press credentials, making him the only cub scribe with such an honor.

Dear Mr Weaver: as you scratch your way up the media mountain, don’t forget the folk who were rooting for you.
