Questioning Obama   [Mark Steyn]

Neil Munro of National Journal continues his lonely pursuit of the Obama phony donor scam with a story that, unlike most reporting on this story, isn't content to be fobbed off with a bland quote from an Obama spokesperson. Today, Mr Munro takes as his starting point the Senator's feeble response to Charlie Gibson — "Look, you know, 3.1 million donors would be a pretty hard thing for us to be able to process" — and demonstrates that this is entirely untrue.

Mr Gibson might have figured this out for himself, were he in his Sarah Palin mode and looking for a real answer, instead of giving the candidate an opportunity to blow an attractive arugula-infused smokescreen. The media congratulates itself on its courage, bravery, fearlessness, etc, more than any other profession. Yet, in the end, as I said to Hugh Hewitt the other afternoon, they really long to be the eunuchs in Sultan Barack's harem.
