After Candy Crowley’s shameful — and flat-out wrong — characterization of President Obama’s Rose Garden remarks on terrorism, she and CNN are still taking a great deal of heat for her highly unprofessional conduct.

Chaffetz, ever gracious, took Crowley to task, telling her that “when you have two candidates disagreeing, it’s not the role of the moderator to try to say, ‘Well, Mr. President, you’re right.'” Exactly.
