It was an interesting night on 60 Minutes. In the past, I have thought that Condi Rice didn't handle interviews too well, being too scripted and wooden. She did a very good job last night, and Ed Bradley clearly was outclassed - he seemed unwilling to even look her in the eye and had a very strange posture during the entire interview, like he couldn't stand to be in the same room with her. And then Mike Wallace did what I thought was an extremely sympathetic piece on Judge Pickering - even to the point where the head of the Mississippi NAACP was shown to be a closed-minded and uninformed idiot when confronted by Medger Ever's son, who is a staunch supporter of Pickering. Imagine that - the old school of civil rights standing up to a race pimp on 60 Minutes - something I never thought I'd see.

I saw both interviews and found it odd that they would be shown back to back.

Condi did a good job. Gee, who would have thought Ed Bradley would do the interview. Then they move on to Pickering. The first thing that Mike Wallace says and I am paraphrsing is:

"The Republicans disallowed Clinton from appointing 3 judges to the 5th circuit." Now it is the Democrats turn."

Pickering is an excellent judge and a good person. Then again, so was Miquel Estrada. Schumer and Leahy need to have red hot pokers shoved up their arses. Schumer is a moron. Leahy is a traitor.
