Blitzer to Hilary Rosen: Go on and look into the camera and talk to Ann Romney

Via Greg Hengler, skip to 2:25 for my very favorite moment from this entire daylong clusterfark. Media firestorms come and go, my friends, but how often do they involve hostage-video apologies to the camera by the transgressor? When she was done, I half-expected him to say, “I didn’t see any tears.” Note to Ann Romney: If CNN offers to have you on together with Rosen, you must, must agree, if only in the interest of video gold when Blitz inevitably says, “How about a hug?”

If you’re not up for watching the whole clip after that, at least skip to 7:00 for when he asks her whether she’s received any supportive phone calls from prominent Democrats in the White House, the Obama campaign DNC, etc. Hmmmmm. Exit question: Is there anything left of this story to milk for traffic? The Twitter supernova has begun to fade and the opportunistic campaign merchandise has already been rolled out. Can an intrepid, content-hungry blogger find some other wrinkle to exploit? Stay tuned…
