Another doddering old fool at CBS speaks. And apparently a self-hating Jew as well.

Which say a great deal about your mental faculties.

about the American administration and the Zionist state

So now Mike Wallace is using the "Zionist" language of Ahmajinedad. Nice.

The only surprise is that Wallace didn't call Israel the "Zionist entity."

He was probably the Neville Chamberlain of Neville Chamberlain's time too.

Mahmoud does impress me - that he is a madman.

I am reminded of Dan Rather's nearly tearful last interview with Saddam Hussein.
What is it with these old journalists of ours?
Can you imagine such an interview with Tojo , or Nazi leadership during or right before WW2 ?
I hope , at the very least , Mr. Wallace took him aside and warned him that he was about to feel the American boot ....
