Memo To Martin Bashir: ASK THE FOLLOW-UP QUESTION!

Martin, you had Dr. Craig Mitchell, the Baptist Theologian on the ropes, the one who was on the Issa all-male panel on contraception. You got him to refuse to say the President "is a Christian", you made your POINT repeatedly, but you failed to go.for.the.KILL; to wit, asked the man if he considered Newt (with "his three marriages"), Santorum (with "his hypocrisy") and Romney (with "his Mormonism") A CHRISTIAN?! Was it an unequivocal YES, in which case you would have exposed the charlatan preacher, or an equivocal "maybe, I never met the man," in which case you would have made news in advance of the GOP debate, and trouble for the candidates.

C'mon, Martin, get in the game, man!
