Boston Phoenix
Eric Fehrnstrom's tough-guy reputation goes back to his years as a Boston Herald reporter. Fehrnstrom (left), who is now
Mitt Romney's press secretary, "was incredibly hard-nosed," recalls Herald editor
Kevin Convey. Thus, the sight of him scolding AP's
Glen Johnson like a naughty child didn't surprise political reporters. One tells
Adam Reilly: "There were many exchanges with me where he'd end by making it personal, and the exchange with Glen was a perfect example of that." The Globe's
Frank Phillips says: "Fehrnstrom does a very good job for Romney. But sometimes it can be very obnoxious."
