The Washington Times, the right-wing paper owned by nutcase Sun Myung Moon, has picked up on Karl Rove’s new talking point: John Kerry’s month of no press questions.
Today marks the one-month point since Sen. John Kerry last answered questions from reporters traveling with him on the campaign trail.
The last time the Democratic presidential nominee took questions from them was Aug. 9 on the edge of the Grand Canyon, when the small traveling press pool accompanying him was allowed to ask eight questions.
And the last time Mr. Kerry held a full-fledged press conference where he faced questions from the entire corps of national reporters covering his campaign was Aug. 2 in Grand Rapids, Mich. He took two questions then.
For the right to complain about how often a candidate takes questions is enough to induce a fit of side-splitting laughter. This from the president who avoids press conferences like the plague, doesn’t allow questions at “Ask the President” events, and is more secretive than Richard Nixon.
