Meredith Viera's deer-in-the -headlights interview with John McCain ought to be a training video for TV reporters who want to see how the hardball political interview is conducted. Viera makes the GOP nominee squirm, sweat and jabber, as he struggles to reconcile Carly Fiorina's leading role in his campaign, her 45 million dollar golden parachute and his hypocritical put down of "greed on Wall St." and execs' "huge severance packages." Almost a ready-made ad for the Obama campaign.

On the same topic, see Elizabeth Bumiller's New York Times article "McCain Stands By Fiorina," in which McCain blasts two Fannie Mae execs for their golden parachutes, each about half the size of Fiorina's package.

In a McCain-Palin administration, there will be no seat for these people at the policy-making table...They won’t even get past the front gate at the White House

I guess he would let Fiorina in the back door.
