I just love what Harry has done with his hair. ;-)
Old Dick strikes back...
Their only rift is whether to us #12 or #16 shot when hunting lawyers......
They've already wasted a week convincing liberals that Cheney is secretive and scary, and convincing conservatives that the media is kooky and obsessive.
In other words, they've accomplished nothing. The rest of the country is watching American Idol.
What utter nonsense.
BTW, from the article, "Throughout the interview, Thomas peppered his comments with qualifiers and speculation."
About 95% of what passes for news on TV these days, especially on the cable news stations, is speculation and opinion. Very, very, very little of it is hard news.
With all the Darth Vader nonsense flung around, the only way these two, Smith and Thomas, could have been more stoopider would have been to dress up like Jedi Knights. What a couple of screwballs
Poor little Evan Thomas, his buddy Imus took the day off so he had to take his diatribe to the low ratings CBS show.
Shoot, I once beat a guy senseless with a tire tool on purpose while I was at work and didn't tell my boss about it until the middle of the next morning. I guess we take things like that a little less seriously in East Texas.
Well, one thing's for sure, we have plenty of hot-shot reporters who can really go after Hillary on the Vince Foster "sucicide" thingy. NOT! Most will quit reporter work and hire on at a convience store first.
Evan Thomas - Grandson of six-time Socialist Party presidential candidate Norman Thomas
"The media, I think, want Kerry to win….That's going to be worth maybe 15 points." -- Evan Thomas, "Inside Politics," July 11, 2004
"But do you believe that most reporters want John Kerry to win?" Kurtz asked. "Yeah," replied Thomas. "Absolutely."

Evan Thomas was born in April 1951 in Huntington, New York and grew up in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. His father Evan Thomas II was an executive with the book publishing house Scribner's. His grandfather was Norman Thomas (1884-1968), disciple and successor to Eugene V. Debs, founder of America's Socialist Party. Norman Thomas was the Socialist Party presidential candidate in six elections from 1928 until 1948.
"I believe," wrote Norman Thomas, "that the hope for the future lies in a new social and economic order which demands the abolition of the capitalistic system." Oddly, Norman Thomas was an ordained Presbyterian minister who had been converted to the socialist faith while attending Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
Evan Thomas was schooled at the elite Phillips Andover Academy in Massachusetts, graduating in 1969. Other prominent journalists of the left were also shaped there, including Thomas' current Newsweek columnist comrade Jonathan Alter (Andover Academy Class of 1975). (Other Andover Academy graduates include President George H.W. Bush '42, President George W. Bush '64, and Florida Governor Jeb Bush '71.)
Evan Thomas graduated from Harvard College in 1973 and earned a Juris Doctorate at the University of Virginia Law School in 1977.
In 1977 Thomas was hired by Time Magazine, where for the next nine years he worked as a correspondent, writer and editor. In 1986 he and Time National Editor Walter Isaacson co-wrote The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made about Averell Harriman, Dean Acheson, George Kennan and others who shaped U.S. foreign policy after World War II.
In 1986 Thomas left Time to become head of the Washington bureau of rival news magazine Newsweek, a position he held until 1996. Since then he has done long investigative pieces for Newsweek. His coverage of the Monica Lewinsky scandal won a National Magazine Award in 1998.
