Reporter went plumbing for tears and found them

This won’t take much space or verbiage to get something off my chest.

My wife and I watched skier Bode Miller’s interview last night with the NBC reporter who quizzed him about his emotions after winning the bronze medal in the super-G skiing event in Sochi, Russia.

Miller’s brother had died. The reporter pressed and pressed — and pressed some more — for some emotional reaction from the skier.

Finally, after putting words in his mouth and prodding him to the breaking point, she got Bode to break down.

My heart broke for Miller at that moment and wished I could have yelled into the reporter’s ear piece: Back off, lady!
