Sen. Joe Biden once again demonstrated his quick wit (and quicker temper) last Thursday on Philadelphia’s CBS3.   Seems Joe was expecting a few softball questions about the Phillies and was “ambushed” by CBS3’s Angela Russell and Chris May.  They had the temerity to ask what the messiah had in mind when he explain his wealth redistribution scheme to Joe the Plumber. 

Imagine!  A news outlet in a major metropolitan market asking a candidate for Vice-President of the United States questions about his running mate’s economic policies!   When will the harassment end?

Biden went ballistic and threatened to ban CBS3 from further contact with Team Obama.  Joe, I sense a pattern here…. (CBS3 has apparently been sufficiently chastened that Team Obama will grant them another royal audience in the future.)

I sure wish CBS3 had given the Obama team the single digit salute the way WFTV in Orlando did!

But then, journalism like politics, has fallen from its heights….

Ah for the days of Murrow and Truman.  When men believed service to a cause trumped personal ambition.

To WFTV Orlando, “Good night and good luck”
