After George Stephanopolous defended the questions he and Charlie Gibson asked Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama during this week’s debate – including one suggested by Sean Hannity – lots of folks are suggesting that Stephanopolous use their questions for John McCain when he appears on This Week on Sunday.
Keith Olbermann dedicated a Countdown segment to his suggestions last night:
My favorite is at about 1:36, where Olbermann asks about McCain’s continued association with G. Gordon Liddy.
And Cliff Schecter blogs about his suggestions at Huffington Post. My favorite:
5. Doesn’t your flip-flop on Jerry Falwell being an “agent of intolerance” show your opportunistic pandering to the religious right?
In 2000, you famously called the late Jerry Falwell “an agent of intolerance,” a statement which may have cost you the decisive South Carolina primary. But as you ramped up your next presidential run in 2006, you embraced Falwell and gave the commencement address at his Liberty University. When Tim Russert asked that spring if you still considered him an agent of intolerance, you said, “‘no, I don’t.” Why shouldn’t the American people consider you a flip-flopping opportunist who cynically courted the religious right to further your 2008 presidential ambitions?
