the thread about nothing...

I'm proofreading and the sentence below is bothering me.

Is this grammatically correct?

"The reporter asked Derek what what he said had to do with anything."

If not, what is a better way to say it to get my point across?

Thanks in advance.
That doesn't sound right bro. Is the reporter asking Derek whether what he(the reporter) said had to anything or is it what Derek said. Can't tell from your sentence but I'm guessing it's the former. Just go with, "The reporter asked Derek, what does that have to do with anything?"

It's the latter.

Will do.

Thanks bandman.

If anyone's wondering it's the scene from American History X where Derek is being interviewed about his father's death.
 
What did you guys like about Black Swan?

I can't wait for it to come out on bluray.

I think it was the physiological aspect behind black swan that did it for me. Constantly trying to please her mother, being babied, thinking everyone was against her. Mila also :pimp: and the sex scene :pimp: very good underrated movie.
 
Sorry carver but i had to do it to ya, Im down 5 with 3 people left for me to go should be an easy win and your FIRST Lost !

I'm proofreading and the sentence below is bothering me.

Is this grammatically correct?

"The reporter asked Derek if  what he said had to do with anything with the subject at hand."

If not, what is a better way to say it to get my point across?

Thanks in advance.
Fixed, at least in my eyes it is. Is this for a class paper. Remember the golden rule. More words=better paper.
