Earlier today, I wrote about Mitt Romney being piqued with Bret Baier of Fox News:
If Romney can’t handle questions from Baier I can only imagine how things will fare for Romney if he agrees to face the likes of Brian Williams, Scott Pelley, Steve Kroft or Diane Sawyer.
Well, in an interview with Bill O’Reilly which aired on Wednesday night, Baier said that Romney told him his questions were “overly aggressive” and “uncalled for.”
Overly aggressive? Uncalled for?
If Romney thinks Baier was “overly aggressive” with him and his questions were “uncalled for” then he hasn’t seen anything yet. Wait until he agrees to an interview with ABC, CBS, CNN or NBC/MSNBC. Hell, you can throw Jon Stewart into the mix.
All things considered, how is Mitt Romney telling Bret Baier his questions “overly aggressive” any different than President Obama telling Brad Watson of WFAA-TV in Dallas-Fort Worth this past April to “let me finish my answers”?
It seems that Mitt Romney is every bit as thin skinned as President Obama.

Romney is a liberal milquetoast.
If we're going to run him we may as well keep the mom-jeans-wearing, girl-throwing wimp we've got.

It's always good news news when the people running for office start giving those annoying little yapping mutts who piss on their cuffs a swift kick!
When did criticizing you journalists or getting angry at your eminences become "bad form" Mr. Goldstein?
It is a great tradition practiced by politicians as disparate as Reagan ("I paid for this microphone."); Disraeli ("One day they (journalists) are blackening your character, the next day they are blackening your boots.") and Lenin ("If all the press can do is publish lies and half-truths it will publish them on behalf of the government.").
Is this snide little blog you wrote here really a criticism of Quin Hillyer's column today about "The Ever-Worse Establishment Media?"

Good grief. Romney can't handle the questions. Cain is upset about gotcha questions. What is it with Republicans and the media. Don't they realize that the MSM (and some Fox interviewers) are the enemy? That they don't want to present their views in a good way but want to destroy them. Even if the media wasn't so biased in favor of Obama the media has never been a friend of conservatives. Time and time again Republicans and conservatives cannot seem to figure out that they need to be prepared for anything and be able to handle tough, stupid, inane questions without crying that it is unfair. Jeez.

"Don't they realize that the MSM (and some Fox interviewers) are the enemy?"
No, they don't. They seek Strange New Respect from the liberal media. The reason Gingrich is where he is right now is because he stands up to the leftist moderators at these debates.
Until Republican candidates embrace the simple truth that the left wing media ARE the Democrat Party, they will continue to compete for first runner-up.

Overly aggressive? Uncalled for? Oh, I thought we were talking about Herman Cain. Zing!
