I watched Jake Tapper (in for Georgie-boy) on ABC News This Week yesterday morning. They had Richardson on talking about how diplomacy is what is needed with Georgia, and bashing Bush (and by extension McCain) for the problems with Russia. Jake Tapper asked hard questions (and corrected Richardson on the amount of money McCain received from the oil lobby [$2 million when Richardson said $200 million!]).
Then, during the roundtable session, ABC News contributer Torie Clarke called Richardson’s talking points (which said McCain was “negative”) “ludicrous”; the entire roundtable said this (the Georgia invasion) was a really big issue. Later they openly mocked Richardson. When Jake asked if the Georgia invasion means Obama should pick an experienced foreign policy advisor, Torie said “Like Bill Richardson?”, they all laughed out loud. I just loved how the roundtable panel recognized how ridiculous he was!
I didn't know that Torie landed at ABC. Remember her as Rumsfeld's first Defense Department Press Secretary? She and Rumny were a great team!
