The apparent reason for this interview between MSNBC's Martin Bashir and Rep. Joe Walsh stemmed from Walsh's announcement that he would be skipping Obama's Joint Session of Congress speech next week. That's all you need to know, right? Given that premise, Bashir obviously wanted to paint Walsh as a racist. He tried but didn't succeed. When asked about why Obama was elected Walsh said that Bashir's profession didn't vet Obama. It so struck a nerve that it Bashir instantly started interrupting Walsh in order to change the subject. Furthermore, Bashir was not going to allow Walsh to continue down that road so he just talked over him until the subject could indeed be changed.
