Little Green Footballs - Ifill Didn't Tell Debate Commission About Book, But It Doesn't Matter

Ed Morrissey is continuing to follow the outrageous story of Gwen Ifill, the insanely biased debate moderator: Ifill: I never told the Commission about the book.

But at this point, it simply doesn’t matter how much evidence of bias you can dig up, because John McCain said he was sure Ifill would be fair and objective. He signed off on her, when he could have objected. This battle is over.

I think it came out too late for him to do anything about it anyway. The fact is, Ifill should have disclosed it to the commission herself. She didn't. Now that it's come to the foreground, she will be criticized harshly if she even appears biased in her questions. Like she said, Wait and watch the debate and then make your judgment about any bias. Of course, if she does ask biased questions, it will be too late. The damage to Palin and McCain will be done. She won't be moderating another debate, but, it might be a small sacrifice for her.
