CBS will give a demoted career hack 2 segments to hit the President and THE National Security Advisor 1/2 of one segment to defend him They proved long ago with Clinton that their job is to put Democrats in the White House.

(Kerry, 60 minutes and the U.N. will stop war and obesity, while creating jobs.)
To: LizJ
But lemme guess, they didn't show the video of Kerry campaigning in Iowa and calling Pickering "a supporter of cross-burners"?
That's the White House's ace in the hole, if they decide to use it. I'd run a campaign commercial showing that clip, a brief recitation of Pickering's actual work for civil rights, note that this info had been given to John Kerry last year, and then ask "Do we really want to elect a man who would knowingly slander a civil rights leader over partisan politics?"

She did fine amidst the hostility projected by Bradley.
I think most here are way overreacting and mixing up the tone of Bradley's questions with the tone and content of her answers, which were very good.

WOULD EVERYONE PLEASE JUST SHUT UP? I am so glad you said this.
Condi did just fine. I was reading these disparaging posts and thought I was at DU for a moment.
I do think Bradley badgered her a bit. I suspect that ole Ed wanted to look like a tougher than nails Journalist and wasn't about to take no stuff.
It was only a 12 minute interview, but we don't know, maybe that's all Condi wanted.
The best response Condi gave was the one that had to get out there. Forget all the rest. Yeah, Ed asked her the silly "more attacks after 9/11 than before". She zinged him good with her reply that with each attack the terrorists got braver, that they figured we had no fight. She also mentioned how we ran from Somalia. She was able to list the attacks and the truth was on her side. With each attack they got more vicious.
Ed asked her again about the less attacks before 9/11 than after and Condi said "They know we're at war with them."
What Dem could have given a more perfect answer?
John Q and Mary Soccer Mom understand this. My assessment is America went away from that interview glad the adults are in charge.

I can not believe the WH, allowed these bozos over at CBS to do this to Condi. Bozos is right. Why the he!! won't they send her over there to testify?
To: GraniteStateConservative
Haven't read thru all the posts ... has anyone commented on how poorly Ed Bradly apppears? Not that anyone should be surprised ... but he does have that "AIDS" look.

yes, what is your take on it. Why do they keep screwing up. I do not think that there is a master chess plan going on. I know I keep saying this but it is as though they do not understand what forces are railed against them. I do not get it. I hope it is just me.
To: eggman
Right and zooming the camera to one inch from her face wasn't exactly a "friendly" gesture.

Yeah, in this case a sickly Uncle Ben Confronted Rice...
More waste of good air time by Certified B.S.
To: mrsmith
but many more people then get their news from a another "source" in the media matrix that get's its orders from the top. again, Goldberg lays it all out.
To: Fawnn
All I watch now is Special Report on Fox. Its a terrific show, and presents both of sides of an issue. I am also very thankful for Free Republic, Drudge, and World Net Daily.
To: Fishtalk
You think it's appropriate for Ed Bradley to repeatedly demand that Rice and the Bush Administration apologize, as Clarke did, for 9/11?
I'm sorry, I can't see where in heck you're coming from if that doesn't offend you.
To: Pukin Dog
Amen!
To: Jewels1091
Clarke is going to be on the Chris Matthews show tomorrow night too. Oh great. Did you see this morning's Chrissy Matthews show? It was a Lib lovefest... Chris, Katty Kay (sp?) - BBC, David Gregory - NBC, Gloria Borger - CNBC and Tucker Carlson - CNN - the only "conservative". All of them except Tucker were ecstatic over what Clarke's testimony and media appearances was doing to Bush's poll numbers, and Tucker just basically sat there slack-jawed, saying nothing. I honestly don't even know what he was doing on the show this morning... he appeared to be stunned or "out of it". :-(

I think you may be right....if CBS thought they had a *gotcha* moment in this interview, they would have been promoting it all day long...thanks for clearing my head...I was/always in a defensive mode when it comes to the rats.

We ain't kiddin' you when we say this did not go well. What do you mean "this did not go well"? Please cite specifics and not just Bradley's questions.
Thanks in advance.
I watched and I can't believe I saw the same interview some doom and gloomers saw.
Good grief.

I think most here are way overreacting and mixing up the tone of Bradley's questions with the tone and content of her answers, which were very good. At one point Bradley really overplayed his hand. He was talking about Clarke's perception, Woodward's perception, etc. Condi says (approximation) I can't address their perceptions, but let me tell you what we DID. And Bradley cut her off and told her no.

It's clear to me they had Ed do the interview so it wouldn't be construed as a White reporter beating up a black female. It is striking how much tougher the media is on GOP officials than they are on Dems, but of course there is no bias--what a bleeping joke.
To: GraniteStateConservative
I have one opinion and one observation.
The opinion is the easiest. Simply put, Condi Rice should under no circumstances appear publicly under oath. Not only is this a breech of the separation of powers, but it gives any rogue Congress the opportunity to determine how a policy was made and by whom. To change historical precedent will result in present and future harm not easily anticipated or measured.
I have one observation. That is it is now clear what the RAT tactics will be. They will use former JC Shelton, Former Treasurer O'Neill, erstwhile author Woodward as well as Clarke to prove President Bush didn't appreciate Al Qaeda and that he wanted a war with Iraq in any way possible. This is where we must meet them and defeat them.
To defeat them will mean listing each and every RAT that believed WMD in Iraq, all of those (including Kerry) who thought Saddam to be out of control and so forth. A central list of all of these points should be on a given Web Site such that it can be accessed by all who wish to defend this Administration.
In my more paranoid moments I suspect the whole opposition to the Iraq conflict centers around our willingness to support Israel in defeating this proven enemy of theirs. No one dares speak of it, but the shear force of the opposition belies a strong underlying motive of resentment. In this I could be a 100% off target since many Jews not only vote RAT but also do not support the President's efforts at cutting off the supply of money to Hamas and others by removing Saddam.
