Mitt Sets the Record Straight with Disrespectful AP Reporter



Jon at Blogs for Mitt discusses this very well in the following story: Glen Johnson Picks A Fight With Mitt.

I'll only say a few things. My thoughts:

Too many of these "reporters" are concerned more with their point of view than they are with relaying the facts to the masses.

In this case, a grouchy Glen Johnson hit Mitt with some unsolicited argumentative questions. Naturally, Mitt refuted Mr. Johnson's bogus claims remarkably well.

Take-home message: Mitt can take a lame punch and return with a few blows himself.



Update: The Politico.com reports the following:

McCain — the target of Romney’s original comment about lobbyists — had frequent dealings with lobbyists when he was chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.

And McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, is a former lobbyist.

That was Mitt's point in all this. McCain's campaign is in fact run by a former lobbyist.

Update II: Hugh Hewitt has his take:

Mary Katharine Ham has the details.

It is never a bad thing for a GOP candidate to push back against lefties disguised as reporters.
