First, let me explain that I’m talking about the John Roberts that works at CNN, not the John Roberts who is Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. With that out of the way, CNN’s John Roberts has a great line in the interview. Looking Fred Thompson square in the eye, he said:

“Senator, I know how much you’d like to talk about the horserace but we’d like to talk about some issues this morning.”

To say that that caught Fred off-guard is understatement. All in all, I’d say that Roberts did a great job in interviewing Fred. I just wish more interviewers would focus on the important things rather than on frivolous things about ‘looks presidential’ or ‘the most conservative electable candidate’.
