McCain supporter to press: “Shame on you”

SCRANTON, PA — While most McCain town hall attendees traditionally direct their questions or commentary towards the GOP nominee during the campaign events as the press take notes, one audience member decided to take her message directly to the media today.

After praising his choice of Sarah Palin as a runningmate, one female audience member turned around towards the press seated in the back of the room and went on a diatribe about what she feels is biased coverage.

“I also want to take the opportunity to ask the media, where is your 30 investigators over in Chicago looking at (Tony Rezko and William Ayers)?,” she said to cheers. “We want the media to start doing their job and stop pickin’ on little children because of their age and their pregnancies. Shame on you! Shame on all of ya’s!”

McCain smiled as the women delivered the rebuke to the press corps, adding “That is a great question!”

He also assured the audience that Palin is able to handle the scrutiny.

“One thing I want to assure you of is that Gov Palin, she can take it. She can take it. That’s what I want to assure you of,” he added.
