I’m busy returning emails and neck-deep in last-minute planning for the Roadshow, and, in the background, I’m watching Scott McClellan perform his umpteenth interview about his book, What Happened. And I wondered, what has happened to him in the gauntlet of media that he’s done in the past couple weeks? I wonder what he’s learned about being interviewed. I mean, I’ve seen some political figures get coverage, but nothing like McClellan’s gotten. I hope his publicist gets a bonus.
Keith Olberman, who was interviewing him tonight, tossed him softballs. But Jon Stewart didn’t. As usual, Jon Stewart — you know, the comic — did the job that journalists should have.
