I'm not a HC fan, but I don't get how this is "unethical". They planted the question, but they had no control over the answer. Its a little sneaky but that's just politics, unfortunately.

^^^^Considering her own staffs planted questions at her own little town meetings q&a's and the US public combining the 2 in their mind I think it could hurt ethically

Yeah, that was unethical, and it is what I was referencing in my first post. When you plant the question *and* the answer, you have an ethics issue. Not when you manage to sneak your question in to the opposition. It wasn't even a "surprise" question, because CNN would have reviewed it prior to it being asked, and would have determined that the question was within the bounds of the debate. If it hadn't been asked by a HC staffer, it would have been perfectly allowable.
No ethics question on this one. Just good politics.
Judging from all the news reports today, CNN made itself look like a total ass. Rregardless if it is true or not, they made themselves look as though they are supporters of the Democrats. Oh well, no real big surprise.

So you guys are afraid of questioning? What a bunch of fucking pussies, and what a stupid and false issue. How about real issues? The Republicans looked ridiculous last night, what with Rudy and Romney arguing with each other like a couple of old queens in a gay bar, McCain sounding like an Alzheimer's patient and Huckapee sounding like a buffoon, and Duncan Tancredo looking totally lost. The whole country was laughing.
CNN Cooper: 'I had not heard that he's actually working for a campaign. If so, that would certainly be an issue that should be addressed immediately'...
Oooo! Oooo! Plez pleez mister nasty question man! Pleeze oh pleez don't ask me those Democrat questions! Oh pleeaseeee! They hurt so bad! Ouch! Ow! Oh, that one scares me do !
