I'll admit to a certain amount of partisan national interest in this case. And Tucker - like Barry Goldwater - is too "immensely handsome". He'd be far more convincing with a few pockmarks. Far too close in manner to Truman of The Truman Show for comfort. I wonder if he is played by Jim Carrey? Right. Better stop there. Thanks for the visit Ruthie.

I don’t think the messenger should be the story, when the unforgiveable sin appears to have been revealing the “Clinton is a monster” attitude inside the camp, rather than holding that attitude." I totally agree. And from my (admittedly biased) perspective, no such right exists for an interviewee to withdraw a direct quote in an on-the-record interview. Good lord, where would that leave us? Journalistic articles would become carefully sanitized and pre-screened PR pieces. “If he’s going question any ethics in this case, perhaps it should be the ethics (or lack thereof) inside the campaign teams.
