Ex-McCain Aide Goes Wild In Defense of Sean Penn.

As reported by the Washington Examiner:

"A Yeas & Nays reporter was publicly berated and threatened to be escorted out by police on Thursday night when the reporter asked actor Sean Penn a controversial question about his humanitarian work in Haiti.

Penn, who recently has been criticized for his motivations in helping to rebuilding Haiti, recently told CBS News he hopes his critics "die screaming of rectal cancer."

Members of the media were invited to a gala hosted at the Washington Hebrew Congregation and were allowed to ask one question each of the actor in a closed-door news briefing.

When the Yeas & Nays reporter asked, "How have you seen your critics change since you mentioned that they should die of rectal cancer?" publicity coordinator C.J. Jordan interrupted to say the reporter was only allowed to talk about the Haitian benefit...

...Jordan ended the interview, and publicly scolded the reporter outside of the media room. Jordan told the reporter that to keep her job, she needed to write a letter of apology to the Haitian ambassador. The publicity coordinator then threatened to have the reporter escorted out of the building by the police."

"You desecrated this sacred place," Jordan said.

"Publicity coordinator” C.J. Jordan really went out of her way to appear ridiculous in her defense of Sean Penn. Desecration of a sacred place? Threats that the reporter will lose her job?

It comes as little surprise that Ms. Jordan was last heard from as a part of Senator John McCain’s failed 2008 campaign. You can tell a lot about someone by the people they surround themselves with. Apparently, Penn and McCain have similar taste.
