The wrath of his CBS colleagues was swift, and utterly predictable. "It's such a wacky charge...I don't know what Bernie was driving at. It just sounds bizarre," Bob Schieffer (for whom the only Good Republican is Senator John McCain) declared crisply. I heard Bob Schieffer interviewed on the radio recently. They were discussing the Johnson tapes, on which Johnson reveals that he KNEW he was sending America's men to die in a war he was not willing to prosecute to victory. Schieffer said "Every time I hear the Johnson tapes I feel more sympathy for him. Every time I hear the Nixon tapes I" (opposite feeling). Then Schieffer said, "I don't mean that in a partisan way." In what way did you mean it, Bob?
Good ol' Bobby "Purple Rage" Schieffer. I believe he did more miles of Clinton than Monica did. Except that Monica always turned her head at the crucial moment. Bobby never increased his dry-cleaning bills by a nickel. ;-)
