This isn’t intended to be a political statement in any manner, but Glen Johnson is my new hero.

Isn’t it ludicrous for a campaign staffer to tell are reporter, “Be professional. Do your job. Don’t be argumentative with the candidate.”

What, canidates are supposed to get a free ride from the press?

UPDATE: This is rich. Romeny reveals that Johnson asked his question not because it was a tough question deserving an answer, but because Johnson hadn’t had good food to eat, enough sleep or a place to sit:

LENO: I’ve got to ask you something. You had a run-in with an aggressive reporter yesterday. Tell us about that. Tell us what happened. We’ll show the tape.

ROMNEY: Well, you know, it’s kind of a normal thing. These guys have a responsibility to be adversarial, and, you know, we don’t treat them real well. The guys that follow us in the Presidential race come in a whole group. We put them in the back of the aircraft. We feed them lousy food. We wake them up early in the morning to go to events, and then as you’ll see in this clip, I think, we don’t give them chairs to sit on either. So they have a tough go of it, but they’re doing their job.
