Apologies if you took it as a direct statement to you (although I get why seeing as I was directly quoting you), it was more of a general statement prompted by yours. I just don't see the leverage issue your speaking of as being of great importance. I think getting this ball rolling was far more important than given up any symbolic wins.

I think he gave the WH the leverage to finally get rid of him. Honestly, the man has no business being allowed to report in person after that stunt. CNN can always send someone else.[/quote]
