Larry King Won't Ask Michelle Where She Disagrees With Barack -- But Pressed McCain's Daughter About Dad

While several media outlets (think ABC, for one) have tried to pry open a gap of disagreement between Cindy McCain and John McCain on abortion, to name just one issue, here's one thing Larry King didn't try on Michelle Obama on Wednesday: do you and Barack differ on some issues? Why not? Mrs. Obama has often suggested her husband needs her correction. But guess what? Larry King thought that was a great question for daughter Meghan McCain when she appeared on September 15:  

KING: There has to be areas, especially young girl living in New York, going to Columbia, where she disagrees with her father. What are they? That's fair, open game.

M. MCCAIN: I mean, there's lots of issues that I disagree with my father, but there's a lot of issues that I agree as well. I never really feel comfortable coming out and saying what exact issues, because I'm not the one running. And I think it's important to support him and what he's doing. That's really it.

KING: One might guess you'd be for choice.

M. MCCAIN: Pardon me?

KING: Choice.

M. MCCAIN: I don't want to talk about that stuff if that's OK. I would rather stick to my book and the campaign.

It was even on screen: DO MEGHAN, DAD AGREE ON ISSUES? This came right after the graphic: MEGHAN: "OBSESSED" WITH PALIN.

The interview was mostly soft and friendly, devoted to discussing her children's book on her dad's life and how she likes the campaign trail and her blogging for the McCain website. But the double standard is showing.
