I might agree with letting a man breathe, but how about these questions when he's clearly capable of breathing properly (with Charlie Gibson):
How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to "win"?
How does your family feel about your "winning" breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor's (Senator Clinton's) speech?
Contrast those with Mr. Gibson's questions to Sarah Palin:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job you're seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren't you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy (specifically):
* territorial integrity of Georgia
* allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
* NATO treaty
* Iranian nuclear threat
* what to do if Israel attacks Iran
* Al Qaeda motivations
* the Bush Doctrine
* attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? (misquoting Governor Palin)
Let's hope that Mr. Hayes is correct that the press is growing tired (as I am) of his feathery platitudes, and gives him cause for some heavy breathing (and sweating).
