In the audio recording of the reporter's questioning played for The Associated Press by McCormack, the reporter didn't raise his voice, but repeated his unanswered questions several times, including one about abortion.

“I never screamed, I never yelled, I never shouted,” he said. “My voice was only loud enough so she could hear my questions.”

Those darned tapes…

The police have now released a statement that the call made to them was uncalled for. How dare anyone question this hideous woman and her leftists ways. And the so-called Republicans that are supporting Scuzz should also be driven out of the GOP on a rail... looking at you Newt.
