It's the Liberal Media's Fault: grumpy antediluvian still dumping on the press for Palin's Pakistan gaffe:

Katie Couric: "Is that something you shouldn’t say out loud, Sen. McCain?"

McCain: "Of course not. But, look, I understand this day and age of 'gotcha' journalism. Is that a pizza place? In a conversation with someone who you didn’t hear … the question very well, you don’t know the context of the conversation, grab a phrase. Gov. Palin and I agree that you don’t announce that you’re going to attack another country."

Couric: "What about "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran,' you senile old geezer?" Ahem. Sorry.

Couric: "What did you learn from that experience?"

Palin: "That this is all about 'gotcha' journalism."

Bawwwwk! Here's your fucking cracker.

"How is a pizza joint question about Pakistan from a voter an example of "gotcha journalism" when a ropeline comment by Joe Biden about clean coal gets turned into two ads?"

-- Marc Ambinder.



Update: here's the video, where they're trying to rewrite history:


That poor anonymous voter is probably thinking "fuck that!"

Questions from voters are not allowed! under McBush rules. Hell, a voter might want an actual answer instead of just filling air time with talking points.
