Jonathan Karl Needs an Adult Diaper

I wonder if Jonathan Karl thinks he did a good job of questioning Mitt Romney about the controversy surrounding his departure from Bain Capital. I hope Mr. Karl is currently hitting himself in the face with a 2x4 in some sort of ritual penance for dropping the ball.

The first question is like something out of tee-ball. Karl notes that someone in the Obama campaign mentioned that he might have committed a felony, but he doesn't explain why, and then he just offers Romney a chance to rebut the charge. That's pathetic, and it doesn't help inform his viewers about the issue at all. It just makes it sound like an unsubstantiated allegation had been made.

His second question is to ask whether the president should apologize for the behavior of his staff. How's that for hard-hitting?

With his third question he actually makes a go at being a journalist. He asks Romney if he can avoid being responsible for the actions of Bain Capital when he was the owner, the CEO, and the chairman of the board. But, when Romney insists that he bears zero responsibility for Bain's action despite his positions, Karl meekly follows up by saying, "So you bear no responsibility?"

What kind of interview was that?

Do some homework for Chrissakes. Make the man explain why he isn't a felon and point out that no one in their right mind thinks a man can be the 100% owner of a company and bear no responsibility for what that company does for four consecutive years.
