Send Lawyers, Guns, And Sawyers

If you caught C-SPAN’s “Road the White House” Sunday, you saw John McCain tearing up Iowa with jokes and personality (Dan Balz captures the spirit here.)
One semi-serious joke I particularly enjoyed was McCain saying that on principle, he refuses to learn how to pronounce the Iranian president’s name.
Great line. And a wonderfully stark contrast to what we see in Howard Kurtz’s column today.
Kurtz profiles “Good Morning America’s” Diane Sawyer after her on-location interview with Iran’s president (for the record: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad).
Asked about criticism that she was giving America’s enemies a platform, Sawyer says: “We may violently disagree with them, but first we must try to understand the way they see the world if we can.”
Understand them? Would love to know McCain’s thoughts on that. Perhaps he can take on Sawyer next.

What’s to understand? What’s his face would like to kill as many of us as possible, if he could.
