that is three times I have seen Mike Wallace in the last 15 minutes - Did he really say that line?
Yep.
In an interview with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mike Wallace of CBSs Sixty Minutes TV show came away quite impressed. "He's a swell guy, Wallace said. He really is. He's obviously smart as hell. Hes a college professor, for Christs sake. Nobodys smarter than them."
"Granted he wants to wipe Israel off the map, but Im a Jew and he didnt kill me when he had the chance, Wallace continued. Youve got to give him credit for that. I found him an interesting man. He has some intriguing ideas.
One of the intriguing ideas cited by Wallace was Ahmadinejads suggestion that the Jews of Israel could simply be relocated. He suggested that a new homeland for the Jews could be established in Alaska, which I find fascinating," Wallace said. He pointed out that if European Jews had been sent to Madagascar like the Nazis requested, they wouldnt have had to kill them. Youve got to admit he has a point there. And who are we to say that the stonings and hangings havent been a useful weapon in the battle against immorality?
