You Decide '07: Was this week's most amusing interviewee Sharpton or Webb? Specter?

PRE-FACEOn MTP, while hawking the paperback version of his book, General Anthony Zinni, USMC, argued that we need a President who serves for a single six-year term, an "elder statesman" who will be above politics.
On FNS, Carl Levin said "change course" a bunch of times and stated that the Democrats will not cut funding to the troops. Lindsey Graham argued that they should cut funding instead of trying to "bleed Petraeus dry."
Al Sharpton was asked to answer questions on FNS, but he didn't. He evaded the argument that Hillary should give back her rapper Timbaland money by arguing that the President spoke with "Sean 'Puffy' Combs." He argued that he has not apologized for slander in the Tawana Brawley case because he still believes her story. He argued that he has not apologized to the Duke Lacrosse players because Mike Nifong lied to him. He argued that he and Bill Cosby have been taking on the rappers.
Sharpton also argued that "kingmaker," as in "kingmaker in the Democratic Party," is a racist term.
On TW, Richardson repeated he wants to get out of Iraq by the year with no "residual force" expect some Marines to guard our embassy who would cause violence by their presence. Steph argued that no military experts or retired generals had endorsed Richardson's plan, and Richardson said that this didn't matter because he knew the region and had negotiated with Saddam Hussein.
On TW, Arlen Specter said that the President can fire the U.S. attorneys for any reason whatsoever but not for a bad reason. He demanded that AGAG "justify the reasons" for firing the attorneys.
Dick Cheney, on FTN, said that he believes America can win the war in Iraq. He is confident that the Congress will send the President a clean supplemental, though Schieffer insisted that they would not.
Jon Kyl and Jim Webb were on LE. Kyl argued that we cannot consolidate or diplomatic successes until we have stability on the ground. Webb compared the government of Iraq to that in Beirut when he covered it as a journalist in 1983.
After all this, Zinni and Webb were a great contrast, the bright and the stupid of the anti-war arguments. Al Sharpton is Sharpton, and the press is going to continue to be frustrated that Vice President Dick Cheney is not hiding under his desk mumbling to himself.
