Typical. ABC can’t politely conduct a Christmas-decorations segment with Laura Bush for more than three minutes without slapping her in the face with a cold fish. Brent Baker reports on the aggressive questioning Wednesday of White House reporter Jessica Yellin:
“Have you ever met with a mother whose own loss has made you question, even for a moment, whether the U.S. should be in Iraq?” Mrs. Bush replied with how “every loss is too many” and said that “I want to encourage Americans to reach out to our military families who suffer the most.” Yellin followed up by continuing her agenda: “And do you hope the U.S. will be out of Iraq by this time next year?” Yellin posed her serious questions about three minutes into Mrs. Bush’s descriptions of the cards and ornaments in the East Room.
