Only When There Is Deference
The McCain campaign apparently thinks our Constitutional Republic is actually some sort of monarchy. ABC's Jake Tapper has the story:
Rick Davis, campaign manager for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., just told Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace that McCain running mate Gov. Sarah Palin won't subject herself to any tough questions from reporters "until the point in time when she'll be treated with respect and deference."
Deference?!?
Perhaps former Vice President Al Gore can talk about the "deference" he received from the media.
This from a campaign that openly admitted that the media was its base.
I wonder if reporters will stop thinking about their fun BBQ visits and the donuts with sprinkles on the bus and start holding John McCain to account. This is an outrageous position for a campaign to take--and John McCain should not be awarded for it.
