About ten seconds into Fox News anchor Bill Hemmerโ€™s interview of Obama spokesman Bill Burton, the two start talking over each other.

The trigger is that Hemmerโ€™s got a simple, but uncomfortable question: Did Team Obama know that war injuries made it difficult for McCain to type when they put out their โ€œhe doesnโ€™t even use a computerโ€ ad?

Burton ignore the question and just repeats โ€œhe doesnโ€™t know how to use a computerโ€ line several times, emphasizing, โ€œI read an interview in the New York Times and the San Francisco chronicle where he said that he was in fact learning to use a computer, but that he hasnโ€™t got the knack yet.โ€

Hemmer asks, repeatedly and with increasing frustration, whether Burton or the Obama camp was aware about the injuries he suffered in Hanoi, and their impact on his ability to use a keyboard? Among Burtonโ€™s responses: โ€œI think that I was aware of the fact that he said he was learning to use a computer.โ€

I suppose I should be impressed that anyone from Team Obama even bothers to appear on Fox News. But I guess this is what this election has turned to โ€” ignore the question, recite the talking point, later, rinse, repeat until the segment is over.
