Might be asking too much
When Pelosi called Bush incompetent, the Republicans insulted her and questioned her patriotism, but never addressed the charge of incompetence. The idealists at Campaign Desk would like to get a real debate going:
So here's an idea: What if Associated Press reporter Jim Abrams followed up these irrelevant quotes by writing, "When asked to directly address Pelosi's charges, he declined to comment." Once they've been stung by a few such printed rebukes, politicians, spokesman, and political operators will think twice before offering up talking points and ad hominem attacks instead of actual responses.
Probably won't happen, but then again, stranger things have happened with the press this past year.
