Yeah, I feel the same about Fred being a good pick even with the age thing, but if he picks people as good as himself who might be there for 20 or more years...

OTOH you have a good point on getting them through. Although, I would love to watch Schmucky, Leaky, and the rest trying to get away with attacking Janice Rogers Brown--especially after we win BIG partly because of their trashing of women. (Though I sure don't want her to have to go through it!)

I'd like to see Fred as AG (don't know if he'd even want it) free to prosecute treasonous offenses with his hands untied by the "leadership" of Trent Lott during Chinagate.

Thanks for providing the link to comment on the TV version. I fired off my opinion of their biased editing.

Every one should save the edited ( Edited Propaganda version ) version so they can't hide it or throw it in the trash can and say “ what ? were ? were’s the proof of the edited interview “.... save both versions !!

Harry Reid?! LOL!

He was all wet with that and he knew it. All it was, was a "red meat" sound bite for fringe RAT lemmings.

My advice to Conservatives is not to do interviews unless they are live and the interviewers ears are empty. The liberal editing room will only cut and paste to the disadvantage of the guest. The earpiece is unnecessary for the host. An off screen producer can just as easily wave a hand for a break.

Disarm the hosts and the interviews will look better for the guest who is rooted in unambiguous beliefs.

Conservatives ought to accept interviews on the condition that they are live and earpiece free. Then the media can't use that canard that that their target declined to talk about something with which they wanted to embarrass them.

It wasn’t just after-the-fact editing. Notice that Charlie Gibson’s technique of asking the same question two or three times, often using the same words, seems aimed at allowing the editors to choose among responses. Very deceitful. See “Have you ever met a foreign head of state?” & “So what should we do about a nuclear Iran?” in transcript.

Duh!!!

Can’t we take the Kennedy conspiracy theories somewhere else?

[Fudd Fan]

And yet she is the one who looked knowledgeable, eloquent and lucid and he did NOT. Even with the dishonest editing.

BINGO!

The View interview/appearance is on You Tube in 3 parts.

McCain acquits himself well, and did manage to get in a plea for Barry to do Town Hall meetings.

The witches revealed their warts.

[altura]

I don’t think complaining is a waste of time.

I am going to start doing it more!

[altura]

Never show me Alan Colmes picture again.

[Fudd Fan]

I wish I could photoshop, I’d put the faces of the hags of The View on the three witches in Macbeth.

More “fake but acurate” “reporting” from “nonpartisan” mainstream “journalists”.

The guy on the right has a certain charm ....

[Fudd Fan]

They’re even dressed the same. And have we ever seen them together? HMMMM?

[polymuser]

But, that’s not a ‘controlling legal authority’.

[jusduat]

squeeky wheel gets oil. sometimes silence is not golden.

Gibsons interview of Palin was a disgrace. Here he had an opportunity to show even he can be fair and balenced and as Michelle Malkin said on her blog, “ABC blew it”. He would never have talked down to Obama the way he did to Palin. I guess you really cant teach an old dog new tricks.

[altura]

Absolutely. And in view of that I just sent my e-mail.

I didn’t need 500 words. I said,

“Charlie, you will never get your credibility back.

By catering to the Obama campaing and attempting to destroy Sarah, you destroyed yourself.”
