John, as a seasoned journalist, I expected more from you last week as moderator of the GOP debate in South Carolina. Why would you begin the debate with a no substance- National Enquirer-type question to Newt Gingrich about past marital problems with a bitter ex-wife? Gingrich pounced on you for such a worthless question and got a standing ovation from those brainless nit-wits in the audience. The same type of people that cheered for Gov. Perry on his 368 executions in Texas or Ron Paul’s chilling remark about a young sick person that doesn’t have health insurance should die cheered Newt's non-answer to a nonsensical question. What concerns me is you never asked Gingrich any substantive questions about his constant racist remarks about poor blacks and welfare checks or “President Obama is a food stamp president”. You also could’ve probed more into Gingrich’s life as a lobbyist for "Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac” versus his personal indiscretions. The "moral" deplorable right could care less about his professional or personal infidelities, just so he can go up against Obama. I wish you would’ve stopped him in his rant when he stated that the elite media keeps decent people from running. How would he know what is decent?  I guess that statement is true because none of the GOP candidates could be considered are decent. John, I do respect you as a political journalist/prognosticator, with all of your high tech maps and such. But, you blew some of your credibility as a bona-vide journalist when you started the debate with little more than a one-sided accusation from a bitter Ex. For that, you must get This Week’s Attack Dawg Bite Award.
