Chris Wallace: Mike Wallace Has 'Lost It'
"Fox News Sunday" anchorman Chris Wallace says father Mike Wallace has "lost it" - after the legendary CBS newsman told the Boston Globe last week that the fact George Bush had been elected president shows America is "[expletive]-up."
"He's lost it. The man has lost it. What can I say," the younger Wallace lamented to WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr on Friday.
"He's 87-years old and things have set in," the Fox anchor continued. "I mean, we're going to have a competence hearing pretty soon."
Wallace Jr. quickly dispelled any notion that he was joking. When Carr suggested that his comments were likely to be covered by NewsMax, he responded: "You know what? Fine. Go ahead. Call them. That's fine. I'll stand by that."
Returning to the topic of his father's competence, Wallace Jr. explained: "He's checked out. I don't understand it," beyond the fact that Wallace Sr. has "problems with the war."
"I don't know why he said what he said," he added.
On Thursday, the elder Wallace told the Boston Globe that if he had the chance to interview President Bush, he'd ask:
"What in the world prepared you to be the commander in chief of the largest superpower in the world? In your background, Mr. President, you apparently were incurious. You didn't want to travel. You knew very little about the military. . . . The governor of Texas doesn't have the kind of power that some governors have. . . . Why do you think they nominated you? . . . Do you think that has anything to do with the fact that the country is so [expletive] up?"

CBS and the other major networks have been serving liberal propaganda to the American people for decades.
No, Mike.....the fact that America elected Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush twice each indicates that the country is maturing and beginning to think for itself!!
In one respect, I agree with Wallace..
Any country that could reward this POS for his worthless and traitorous behavior is ****ed up..
The leftists in this country, have been ignored and/or tolerated for FAR too long..
Time to jerk their freaking leashes up, TIGHT.
Semper Fi
HAHHAHAHA Way to go Chris!
Gonna be a tense Hanukkah table chez Wallace this year.
The fact that the liberal loon news commentator is also his father is irrelevant given the context of the statement.
As much as I agree with the younger Wallace's assessment of the situation, I have to solidly back you up on the matter of him publicly criticizing - in fact, belittling - his old man. It's not right.
Who is losing it big time? Mike Wallace or Imus?
I saw an interview with him a few weeks ago, and
made comment that Mike Wallace seemed sadly
"halfway to senile"...I wasn't kidding.
It was a "one on one"...maybe Charlie Rose, or Larry King.
Why is he not permitted to criticize Mike Wallace the liberal loon news commentator?
Yeah
Questions he never would have posed to the former Governor of Arkansas.
yes, but one COULD view Chris putting the dementia on the table as apologist act....on behalf of his dad or even in hopes of preventing Wallace Sr's verbal indiscretions of late from rubbing off on Chris
He (Mike W.) couldn't hold on to his train of thought
for more than a couple of sentances...and sometimes
not even that long. He was definitely short on coherence.
His family needs to convince him to retire from the public eye. It's only going to get more painful and pathetic to
watch him degradate...like Hunter S. Thompson...soon he
will be completely unimtelligible. But then, Dims have no sense of decorum either, as well as no sense of shame.
You have never met all parents. Some are just plain vile and deserve no respect what so ever.
Personal experience.
Little kids say what they think because they haven't learned they can't yet. Sometimes I think the elderly say what they think because they have learned that they can:')
