January 4, 2012: As the night dragged on, and CNN's coverage of the (relatively meaningless) Iowa caucuses stretched out approaching 3 AM Eastern time, both the on-camera and off-camera personnel, unable to get home due to problems with the count from one tiny Iowa precinct, understandably got more than a bit punchy. This report by CNN's Jeanne Moos shows some of the highlights. I saw this all live at the time, and it was pretty clear the coverage had gone off the rails -- but at that hour, I had a lot of sympathy for everyone involved!
