Right-wing congressman won't apologize for confiscating cameras

Even the Cincinnati Enquirer (hardly a voice of liberalism) is starting to act like it's seen enough of Steve Chabot's shit.

This entry at the Enquirer's website talks about it in some detail:

In brief, Chabot got police to confiscate cameras from folks who attended his town hall meeting. Now he refuses to apologize - saying he did this to protect people's privacy. That excuse won't wash, considering media outlets had all their cameras there, and he didn't stop them.

The Media is usually friendly to Chabot, so of course he didn't stop them. But I guess taking other people's cameras has finally struck a nerve with some commentators.
