The WH has lodged a complaint with the Irish Embassy in Washington over this interview: [ Download file]. RTE journalist Carole Coleman wasn’t reading from a pre-approved list and didn’t buckle under to George’s rude and boorish attempts to silence her.
Brava, Ms. Coleman. The shame and embarrassment of being represented by that serial prevaricator is too much to bear. If only American reporters had half her integrity the pain of it all would be mitigated by the pleasure of witnessing his pathetic responses to the right questions regarding the real and present dangers he and his incompetent administration have unleashed upon the world.
If you’d like to send a note of thanks to Ms. Coleman and the station you can find e-mails here and here.
Thanks to Bill for the heads up.
Update 6/28: According to Ms. Coleman the WH had her questions for about three days. That makes sense. What doesn’t is Rove gambling that all reporters are as docile as the usual suspects here in America.
