Palin questioner rejects ‘gotcha journalism’ charge

The Philadelphia man who asked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin about Pakistan on Saturday has told The Hill that GOP presidential nominee John McCain and Palin mischaracterized the exchange in a primetime interview.

................

However, Rovito, who supports Obama in the presidential election, told The Hill that the Alaska governor could hear him just fine, and that the label of “gotcha journalism” doesn’t fit.

“She heard me,” Rovito said. “She looked me right in the eye.”

.................

“It’s just ridiculous how they’re saying I was hollering,” Rovito said, asserting that Palin was “maybe three feet in front of me, four feet maybe.”

“She knew what I was saying to her,” Rovito stated. “We were standing on the street and a truck drives by. That’s about as loud as it got.”

He added that it was a “totally normal conversation.”

1. Not to put too fine a point on it,
But the US is striking terrorists targets in Pakistan already.

I have not heard the hypocrite McCain condemn Bush for this.
