Tough questions for the left (for once)

I have fellow blogger Bob McCarty to thank for this, and it's definitely something to share with my friends across the line in Delaware who get to see this guy on the ballot twice.

On Thursday, anchorwoman Barbara West of WFTV-TV in Orlando cornered Vice-Presidential nominee and Senator Joe Biden with some great questions regarding ACORN, "spread the wealth", and Biden's recent comments about a crisis to test Barack Obama should he be elected. The interview is about 5 minutes long and you can tell that it was all Biden could do to not storm off the set.

Needless to say, this was probably not the best career move for Barbara West, who actually looks like the "bubble-headed bleach blond" for which TV news is famous - those who run the network news outlets certainly won't take kindly to someone disrespecting their chosen One's chosen one. Nor would it surprise me if there weren't a death threat or three in her e-mail from ardent Obama supporters. But you must admit West did her homework and wasn't content to lob softball questions at a guy who could be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

I tip my hat to Barbara for doing what the drive-by media should be doing for everyone, not just Republicans.

Yes, I crossposted this to That's Elbert With An E for my Delaware friends.
