Bob Schieffer on the Thursday, January 26, 2012 CBS Evening News, re Arizona Governor Jan Brewer confronting President Obama:

“This is just another sign of the growing incivility and really vulgarity of our modern American politics in campaigns...I can never recall a president stepping off Air Force One, which is itself a symbol of the presidency in American democracy, and being subjected to such public rudeness. I think really we’re a better people than this little incident illustrates.”

That quote was awarded "three out of five screams" by the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard for his weekly "Mainstream Media Scream" feature in his "Washington Whispers" column.
