...Your special issue on the republicans bent over backward to present McCain as an honorable man, but the transcript of your bizarre interview, in which McCain refused to answer simple and legitimate questions, was frightening. It showed a resentful, uncommunicative and uncooperative McCain who was uncomfortable with the straight talk he used to be known for and who had a chip on his shoulder the size of a sequoia.

...screen, it was much different; the real information, it seemed, was in the tone and manner of the exchange. (On the transcript, Palin's attempt at defining the Bush Doctrine was "His worldview." On the screen, it was "His worldview?" - with a hint of a challenge in it.) She injected "Charlie" into her answers constantly, as if trying to draw him in; he kept a distanced and almost curt manner, following up briskly and often.
