CNN correspondent Dana Bash doesn’t need little ol’ me to defend her … but I’ll defend her anyway.<\/p>\n

Bash interviewed White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway over the weekend and asked her what I believe is a totally legitimate question. Conway bristled bigly<\/em> at the inquiry, suggesting that Bash wouldn’t have asked the question of a man. Bash said she would “a thousand percent.”<\/p>\n

Bash wanted to know how Conway handles the tweets that have come from her husband, noted lawyer George Conway, that have been quite critical of Donald J. Trump’s policy pronouncements.<\/p>\n

George Conway has since taken the message down from his Twitter account, but … as they say: You can’t unhonk the horn.<\/p>\n

Kellyanne Conway took serious umbrage at Bash’s line of questioning.<\/p>\n

What I heard, though, was Bash inquiring about whether a senior policy adviser to the president of the United States had any issues with her husband — who happens to be a highly regarded and respected lawyer in D.C. — questioning the policies delivered by the Leader of the Free World.<\/p>\n

I didn’t detect any snarkiness in Bash’s question. I didn’t hear any disrespect in her voice. I heard a serious-minded question that deserved a serious-minded response.<\/p>\n

Instead, we all heard Kellyanne Conway impugn the integrity of a serious broadcast journalist working for a serious media organization. As The Hill reported:<\/a> “It’s fascinating to me that CNN would go there, but it’s very good for the whole world to have just witnessed … that it’s now fair game how people’s spouses and significant others may differ with them,” Conway told CNN’s Dana Bash.<\/em><\/p>\n

To borrow a word from Conway’s boss: Sad.<\/p>\n\n
