Good point about Dukakis and his strangely detached, analytical debate response.

By the way, as Sam Donaldson prepares to jump onto msNBC's sinking ship with his own primetime show, we should give him at least a little credit for being the only White House reporter who had as much courage as Katherine Prudhomme. During a White House press conference, Donaldson boldly asked the creep about Juanita Broaddrick's interview that had actually aired on another network (NBC's Dateline), and Shoutin' Sam even tried to shoehorn in a follow-up when it became clear that the cigar-toting clinton was cowardly referring the question to his lawyers.

I like Sam Donaldson. Didn't use to, but I've seen him mellow over the years. He seems intent to get to the truth. I think having his second wife walk out on him humbled him and he's worked hard at his third marriage, so I think he identifies more with core values at this point. I refuse to let the remote even get to MSNBC when Donohue is on. I would give Donaldson a chance.
