Wolf Blitzer is reporting that John McCain is some upset with CNN because one of his media flacks, Tucker Bounds, almost had to — horror of horrors! — respond on point to a fair question during a rare instance of a journalist actually doing her job for a change.
Watch.
The good stuff starts around 3:20. Poor babies! Even though Tucker Bounds gets to blather on tediously for seven minutes, gratis. Cue the world's tiniest string orchestra for the floundering McCain.
Man, it sure is refreshing when a journalist actually acts like a, y'know, journalist. It shouldn't be refreshing, but that's the sad state of affairs these days. I'd like to see more of this for all politicians, regardless of party. And if they can't hack it and start canceling interviews, well, that just makes 'em look bad--as it should.
