Two members of the panel that questioned GOP candidates in Thursday's debate defended some of their more controversial queries on Friday's "Fox and Friends." Meanwhile, Sean Hannity seemed to say that one of the questions--from Fox News colleague Chris Wallace--was out of line. Wallace and columnist Byron York both drew the ire of the Ames, Iowa crowd for asking some aggressive questions of Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann, respectively. Wallace asked Gingrich about his campaign staff exodus, and was drawn into a hostile exchange with the former Speaker, who accused him of posing "gotcha" questions. One of Wallace's fiercest critics would appear to be Sean Hannity. Just after the debate ended, he had Gingrich on as a guest, and seemed to agree with him that Wallace deserved to be slapped down. He told Gingrich that the Speaker's outburst reminded him of the famous moment in a 1980 debate, when Ronald Reagan angrily told a questioner, "I'm paying for this microphone."
