Well, I hate it when reportes do this to Bush and I don't like it now. These reporters are too cute by 2. Just ask some meaningful questions and leave the jokes to the pundits and commentators.
A "meaningful question" is one that elicits a headline. That's why you saw at that Bush press conference a while back 15 different "questions" that could all be paraphrased "will you apologize?"
Anyway, it's Kerry that said Bush was living in a Fantasy World because he doesn't watch enough TV. That statement begs any number of follow up questions, such the one that was asked, or "What other deep truths is President Bush missing out on by not watching as much TV as you do?"
"Well, I hate it when reportes do this to Bush and I don't like it now. These reporters are too cute by 2. Just ask some meaningful questions and leave the jokes to the pundits and commentators."
I disagree. This was not a joking question. It reiterated Kerry's position and so is fair game. What is not fair is when reporters distort and obfuscate the meaning of Bush's comments, or misstate his remarks in later questions to him.
