Fox News Alert: John Gibson "uncomfortable" challenging RNC's Mehlman

In an interview with Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman, Fox News host John Gibson responded to Mehlman's defense of embattled House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) by saying that "you're forcing me into the position of being a Democrat here -- which is an uncomfortable shoe for me to wear."

From the May 4 edition of The Big Story with John Gibson:

MEHLMAN: These are important issues. The American people want to see us solve problems. The president is looking forward and hopes to work with Democrats to solve these important problems.

GIBSON: Okay, but Ken, look, you're forcing me into the position of being a Democrat here -- which is an uncomfortable shoe for me to wear, but I'll do it for the moment. [Laughter] I mean, DeLay either did something wrong, or he didn't. I mean, some Republicans are even upset at Tom DeLay's behavior.
