Grumpy McGriddle disses WSJ reporter yesterday when taking questions
**Watch the video at this link**


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/25/mccain-blows-off-wsj-repo_n_114955.html

John McCain's famously cozy relationship with the press is getting a bit testy. Taking questions in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday the Arizona Republican blew off Wall Street Journal reporter Elizabeth Holmes, right after she stated her name and affiliation.

"Who else has a question," McCain interjected, before taking a question from a journalist at CNN.

4. There was an article not long ago that McCain's staff was requiring
reporters calling in to conference calls to identify themselves and their organizations first--so that they could be vetted. Some reporters were not allowed to ask questions after identifying themselves.
