Here is video of CBS News anchor Harry Smith interrupting Sen. Jim DeMint during an interview the other day to defend Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. DeMint had started to point out Napolitano's statement following the attempted terrorist attack on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 that "the system worked," when Smith interrupted to clarify what she said. Smith told DeMint, "I don't want to defend what she said" - and then went on to defend what she said!
Smith then dismissed it all by telling DeMint, "That's ancient history - let's move on."
No, Harry. It is not "Ancient History." The whole thing happened only a week ago, and Napolitano's statements immediately after the event - even though she has walked them back - are relevant. DeMint was classy through it all, hearing Smith out, and then continuing with his line of thought.
DeMint hammered Obama for not focusing on "terrorism" as a threat, but said he is glad Obama is now focusing on the need for increased security. . . . (VIDEO)

“Mission Accomplished”
Harry Smith is a brain dead doofus
Harry Smith - Proud Member of the State Media Douche-Baggers!
Harry who?
Yes! A putz and a shill.
So...what has he been doing? NOT FOCUSING ON SECURITY?
The more I read about DeMint and hear him interviewed, the more I like him! Keep talking Jim, we need you!
Another brain dead and demented reporter.
Sorry, obamamizer.
If it weren't for FR and Rush, I wouldn't know who any of these guys are.
The Gummn’t is quite happy that:
1/ Those of us who were/are airline pilots, and who had experience with security (both pre- and post-9/11) are forced to keep our mouths shut for fear of prosecution and incarceration; and
2/ The American public has traditionally been satisfied with half-a$$ed, smooth and soothing soothing answers to our questions.
Fourth Estate = Fifth Column
If a Revolution ever starts, they are the first to go.
They are traitors to our country. They are the Goebbels propagandists of this once great nation.
If I were Demint, I would have thrown this right back at Smith. Ancient history?????
Not very smooth on Harry’s part.
Harry’s head look like it was going to explode when Sen Demint mentioned Incompetano’s “System Worked” statement. The media can only use stupid comments when they are made by conservatives and then only use them out of context!
Smith attacked Demint for trying to prevent unionization of TSA.
