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)

Why waste time talking with Harry Smith? He has been a liberal hack for years!
And Hoary Smith has been a brain-dead doofus ever since he was a brain-dead doofus morning guy on KHOW radio in Denver in the seventies. Before he was “discovered” by the brain-dead doofuses that run CBS...
“Douche-Baggers!”
Nice return. It’s back in their court.
so to SeeBS, maNpolitano’s week old remarks are “ancient history” but George Bush is still responsible for everything bad in the world
More than DeMint in the GOP need to man up
and adopt the phrase “ancient history”
The same can be said of most of the media: Williams, Couric, Sawyer, etc.
Journalism is a dead profession.
No, Harry. It is not "Ancient History." The whole thing happened only a week ago, ...
Its ancient history, let's move on (.org) Wow... this is where a large portion of America get their news. The main stream media gets worse everyday.
I suspect that getting rid of both is on Rahm’s “to do” list for 2010.
Seriously, I'm waiting for the day. There ought to be some kind of plan for the day when “Pearl Harbor” comes to the AM and the web.
“That’s ancient history - let’s move on - and talk about how Bush created the mess our president is dealing with.
I love how Harry and Co want to “acient history” it when the Kenyan King screws up. Yet, when it’s W or Palin, it’s drip, drip, drip 24/7.
I don’t think there are any journalists left. Only apologists, reporters, and editorialists.
Funny how “ancient history” is last week when it comes to the Dems.
Yet anything Bush did, even 8 years ago, is still relevant.
As in, “It’s Bush’s fault.”
I totally agree! I have been saying this, repeatedly, in threads that never picked on it. It's so important to rid the country from the REAL DANGER, Communist advocacy.
McCarthy was right, even with the accusation of being overzealous. Better to err on the side of over-reacting than leaving some cancer cells to metastasize!
I also said that Communist will never give an inch without being brutally forced to and they will always do their utmost to come back for more.
He was right on the money.
Agreed. The truth does get in the way of the communist.
I just pray for the military - we may need them to step in and restore the Constitution.
There's been no such attacks by those folks.
The Obama - Napolitano system is working doggone it.
That's probably what Harry was getting at.
