Krauthammer Praises WaPo on Handling Cruz Cartoon: ‘He Handled It Exactly Right’

BREAM: "A link to her account, allegedly from her, she says Ted Cruz has put his children in a political ad. Don’t start screaming when editorial cartoonists draw them as well. Is that a fair point?"
KRAUTHAMMER: "No, it’s not. And I think that was the point made by Fred Hyatt, the editor of the page. He’s a friend of mine for 20 years. He’s a prince of a guy and I think he handled it exactly right. He didn’t mess around, he didn’t dance around. He said look, my mistake, I didn’t see it in advance, I should have. I understand why she thinks it’s okay to do it. I disagree, I pulled it. Exactly how it ought to be handled. On the issue, I agree entirely that family is always off-limits, but I’ve always objected. Nothing to do with Ted Cruz. I’ve always objected to politicians using their families. I’m even offended when they include them in their announcement speeches. Whenever a politician pulls out of a race, he says I’m doing it so I can spend more time with my family. I think it should be constitutionally required when anybody announces that they are entering a race that they are doing it to spend less time with their family. So if you want to play the family — not about this case. I’m just saying in general. I don’t want to know about the family. All I care about is the candidate."
