Must-call, indeed.

Did you notice how after the president refused to answer Mike Allen’s question about why he and vice-president insist on appearing together before the 9/11 Commission he waived off a bunch of other questions saying “I’ve got some must-calls. I’m sorry.”

He then called on Bill Sammon (of the Washington Times and Fox News) who rewarded the president by helping him regain his balance with this laughable strawman question: “You have been accused of letting the 9-11 threat mature too far, but not letting the Iraq threat mature far enough. First, could you respond to that general criticism?”

Clearly a must-call.
