Is This TV News's First Twitterview?

With only 140 characters to ask and answer a question there is little a politician can do to filibuster during an interviewer’s questions. Such was the case this afternoon as ABC’s George Stephanopoulos conducted the network’s first Twitterview. The Twitterviewee: Sen. John McCain.

The questions ranged from AIG to foreign threats to Sen. McCain’s daughter. And, again, with only 140 characters, there’s very little depth here.

Here is the twanscript from the Twitterview… with most recent Tweets first.

SenJohnMcCain @GStephanopoulos: Thanks a lot george, let’s do it again soon.
