Chris Wallace sounds like he is auditioning for a job in Fitzgerald's office. He is haranguing Feith as if he is on trial today.
I guess we can estimate the Beltway view of Feith's report by Wallace's aggressive tone of voice.
Forget the Teddy Bear, forget the Pajama Gram......
I'm thinking of "naming" a star for my little wife.
Nothing but the best for her.
The best take on it is here, fishtalk, at floppingaces:

Boehner: the issue here is not just Iraq.
RIGHT. Remind people.
Ditto that...especially when you know you're not getting anything. Maybe I'm just jealous.
;-)
Great point.
As Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does."
Many of the more widely known (so-called) journalists today are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. They were hired for their looks and voices, and rose to prominence on the same.
Right. Examiner chain reaches a wider audience, although the paper is free. I think in the future WSJ, Examiner, NYPost all will merge and become the leading conservative organ.
But Feith is taking Wallace to task and really knocking things right out of the park. He was terrific, should get out more, and hope he does. Puts Wallace right in his place, big time, talking about all the misreporting on the FACTS about what went down. Must see interview, imho.
My pleasure, Laverne.
Tim just threw Murtha under the bus regarding troop funding. It's one thing to laugh at a lightweight like Kucinich. Nobody on the Left even takes him seriously. However, when someone of Murtha's prominence in the party is talking defunding, you know it's definitely a goal of theirs.
You're so right.
All I want this Lamestream to do is ADMIT their bias. No problem with them taking the same point of view but TELL US up front.
This noble notion that journalists are impartial is a myth that needs to die as soon as possible.
Timmy lets Hoyer go on and on.
Boehner jumps in. Why not allow pubbies bring a resolution to the floor. Steny says they will. When, when, when Steny asks Boehner. Does not let Hoyer off the hook. (Who put something in Boehner's coffee and where can we get some?)
Well, Pat, we all knew here, right?
Russert has become one of the most partisan of all the so-called journalists today. Dan Rather at least had a goofy, homespun charm about him. Russert's hunched-over, angry-at-Republicans; leaning-back, open-and-smiling-to-Democrats is so blatantly obvious...
Here's hoping for him to meet some justice.
Great, thanks for that.
Feith was awesome!
What about the poor race horse who died? Or is that yesterday's news already?
See the thing about Valentine's Day....aren't I expected to get a gift for husband?
Well I always do cause it seems the fair thing.
Only what the hell do I give a guy? Can't give him a Teddy gram. Flowers don't do it as he has no sense of flowers.
So I read that all guys want on Valentine's day is a little loving.
Well damn it to hell, I most certainly can do that. Insert wink here.
But not if that garage door ain't fixed. I got scruples.
I notice when I read history books that the authors make sure to point out the biases of newspapers of the period when they cite them. I'm sure the same will be true when future historians write about this era.
