THAT BEER SUMMIT — by Steve Nadis
NIGHTLINE led off with Gatesgate and the famous “Beer Summit,” introducing the story with a question as to whether the event warranted all the attention it had received. Of course, they might have tried to answer their question before running the ridiculous story in which they had nothing to show of substance other than a Michelob commercial.
One other curiosity: Everyone referred to three men attending the summit, even though Joe Biden was sitting there plain as day. Has he already receded into the anonymity of the Vice Presidency? Should the reporters have said–with no disrespect intended on my account, as I happen to like Biden–”three men plus one nonentity”?
