Joan Walsh illogic on McCain- Obama forum
08/17/08
And while "Pastor Rick" went out of his way to say Obama and McCain were his personal friends, I personally perceived Warren as mildly pro-McCain. I thought Warren hurried Obama through his answers. Maybe not intentionally. He sat there and went "um-hm" and "hmmm" and "OK" and "yeah" literally every few seconds throughout a lot of Obama's early answers -- maybe trying to be fair, to show empathy; maybe because he himself wasn't quite comfortable. Either way, it had the effect of feeling as if he was rushing Obama. Warren was much more deferential to McCain -- and ironically, McCain punched through his answers more quickly, got deeper into Warren's list of questions, and seemed overall more in control.
Why is it ironic that Warren didn't rush McCain when McCain was giving shorter answers? You don't need to rush short answers.
