The Southern Republican Presidential Debate, 19-Jan-2012.

"I think that the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people who run for office, and I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that. I'm not finished . . . To take an ex-wife and make it two days before the primary a significant question in a presidential campaign is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine."1 [Debate moderator: John King, CNN.] GHENT
