The more I think about it, the more I'm bothered by the debate. On the one hand Obama needs to be ready to respond to ridiculous questions. On the other hand, it's really disturbing to see the lengths to which ABC seemed to go in questioning him.
The lapel pin question, one of the more inane, is a good case in point: Josh Marshall has a good overview of this. What strikes me is how either dishonest or lazy ABC's reporting is here. If they believe it's such a big issue because of a quote from Ms. McCabe, then I would think ABC would have been able to find another citizen questioner. Instead, they have the same person who made the original quote without even validating that others are as bothered.
