Can anybody recall Campbell Brown pestering Democrat officials over Barack Obama's lack of not only foreign policy experience but overall experience? I sure can't but here is Brown hectoring McCain Political Director Mike Duhaime about her sudden concern over lack of experience. Here is a transcript of the interrogation but to get the full flavor of Brown's attitude complete with cynical facial expressions, be sure to watch the video (emphasis mine):

Well done. I believe it's Michael Graham on WTKK 96.9FM here in the Boston area that has asked this very question (you're in good company!).
LOL! Did Bush III get shelved? Bunch of Dum-basses!
Someone throw me some popcorn... I am enjoying the media's meltdown.
Campbell Brown had one nose job too many. It’s hard to look at her.
I can remember Campbell Brown first back during Bill Clintons war in Kosovo.
She was so ignorant of the military. My husband laughed because she kept saying we were sending in “batillions”.
Heh, maybe she thought that meant “more than a million”.
I'll tell you what a "community organizer is: just imagine Al Sharpton with a bullhorn stuck in his big mouth bloviating about something no one gives a damn about. A "community organizer" is nothing but a political taskmaster organizing the uninformed under the same political whip. That's what B. Hussein Obama was. Are you claiming that counts as experience for the office of President?
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Kudos to Mike Duhaime, who really took brown out of her game. He called her on her emotional outbursts, and she tried to say she wasn’t upset. But she was clearly upset.
I especially liked how he answered brown’s disparaging comment about Palin’s mayorship over a town with only 8000 people. Duhaime said that this was the democrat’s and media’s problem: They only expect smart people to come out of NY, LA, and Chicago.
There’s a Brazillion joke in there somewhere. (Nothing against our fine friends from Brazil BTW).
Last night, James Dobson gave me an answer to a question that has been bothering me the last few weeks: Out of the fourish years that Obama has been a Senator, how many days has he actually worked?
According to what Dobson said, 114.
I'm not certain how Dobson arrived at this number, but I am completely unsurprised by it. BHO has spent the last twelve months campaigning for President. Even if he'd been working full time at his elected position, Senators don't exactly punch a clock, Monday through Friday, fifty weeks a year, do they? The guy that plows my street every winter puts in more hours than BHO, and that's a seasonal job.
Let's assume Dobson is way off...what would qualify as "way off," I wonder? 228 days of work? Let's allow that. How much experience can BHO have possibly gained in 228 days of work? That's not even a full-term pregnancy, now that I think about it. BHO is less experienced as a US Senator than a first time mom is at being a parent. Now I am way off on a tangent. I should probably go do some laundry or something.
I was wondering today if anyone is going to point out that John Edwards had almost no experience (as they define it) , but of course he was perfectly fine to run for vice president and president.
“Brown was born ‘Alma Dale Campbell Brown’ in Ferriday, Louisiana, the daughter of former Louisiana Democratic State Senator, Secretary of State, and Insurance Commissioner James H. “Jim” Brown Jr.
‘Nuf said about where Alma Dale’s ‘political compass’ got stuck!
At the DNC convention Gore compared Obama to Lincoln.
Here’s Lincoln’s time-line: http://www.historyplace.com/lincoln/index.html
How does that ever compare to Obama??????????
Yup, in the video, Mike Duhaime was successful in getting brown to admit that zero bama has no experience as well.
He owned this interview.
I wish I could share your inherent optimism, but there is no way that people will draw the connection that Obama is actually less experienced than Palin without us shouting it from the rooftops. Most of the MSM considers running for president for 4 yrs to be a ‘qualification’ and are actually peddling this nonsense on the airwaves. In fact, BO doesn’t even have enough experience to run a Burger King.
Brown was in on the Obama promotion from the beginning. I well remember her on Tim Russert’s Sunday morning show after the last Dem convention giving her opinion and agreeing with Tim that Obama would make a great candidate. He had no experience, they admitted, but “that might be a good thing.” Guffaw, guffaw. “No one has anything against him. He hasn’t done anything to offend anyone yet.” More Guffaws and those looks that pass between people when they have an Aha moment.
It was chilling. I knew these idiots had found their cause and were going to run with it. Obama’s campaign started that day, possibly before he even knew about it.
Of all people to criticize Sarah Palin’s candidacy Campbell Brown is the least creditable now that Russert’s dead.
When she is asked about her experience as compared to Joe Biden she should simply say, that Joe's own party in Iowa was asked whether his 30 plus years in the senate was good enough to make him president material, and 99% said no.
Palin should say, Joe has been in the same chair for 30 years. When did he fight his party. When did he put his career on the line for change. Or was he the reason change is needed. If you can't get change in 30 years its time to look for some new faces.
Campbell has yet to give up her airhead status.
Snotty, nasty, insufferable...the new requirements for “journalists.”
Mort Kondracke said tonight that Obama had experience because he had spoken and thought and argued. I would posit that Sarah Palin has done all of those things as well. The big and, to Mort, important difference is that she has not done these things in Washington, D.C.
LOL! Are they so stupid? Well, I guess they are! By comparing Obama’s experience with Palin’s, they are comparing their PRESIDENTIAL candidate to our VP! In other words, they are implying that Obama is only fit to be second fiddle.
