Jebus. Cheney demands to know race of reporter assigned to photograph him
A rally organizer for the Bush/Cheney re-election-stealing campaign asked Teri Hayt, the Arizona Daily Star's managing editor, to disclose the journalist's race on Friday. After Hayt refused, the organizer called back and said the journalist probably would be allowed to photograph the vice president.

"It was such an outrageous request, I was personally insulted," Hayt said later.

A spokesman for the campaign said the information was "needed for security purposes."

Good Christ.
