Finally, real journalistic questioning

Campbell Brown plays hardball with McCain advisor Tucker Bounds.



Campbell asks him straight out what Palin's foreign policy experience is, and he can't answer. At one point, it's her "command experience" as head of the Alaska National Guard. But when confronted with the truth that the Pentagon makes those decisions - she makes no decisions regarding troop deployments - he goes to her duty commanding the National Guard in an emergency. Which IS NOT foreign policy experience.

And what is an emergency in Alaska? A caribou jacknifed on County Road Six? The last emergency I saw in Alaska was handled by Josh Hartnett.

Finally, a journalist has the stones to confront these guys on their spin. Uncomfortable and brilliant.
