Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Fla., was skewered on her Iraq position during the final debate in the Florida Senate race Wednesday. (AP)Huh. I wonder which definition of "skewer" they're using in order to maintain journalistic objectivity.
(see caption under Harris photo)
Here's the detail about the supposed skewering from the accompanying story:
Moderator Tim Russert pressured her to say whether she would vote for the war in Iraq now knowing that Iraq did not have the weapons of mass destruction. She repeatedly declined to answer.Ah-ha. Since she stated that the issue wouldn't have come up for a vote, therefore she was "skewered" regarding her position on the Iraq war.
Instead, she said, "If we knew today what we knew back then, there never would have been a vote called to go to war."
Nelson, the incumbent senator, said he would have voted against the war.
Thanks for the objective assessment, CBS.
