Hillary is playing Tim like a fiddle this morning. She doesn't need a PR team with support the media is giving her. This is cheap PR for her candidacy--the media are picking up the tab while she's proclaiming her agenda.

[NittanyLion]

I wish Wallace would have read Dean that quote about the "Soviet Union".

[Catspaw]

It seems to be a cross between pillow hair and a mullet.

[Erik Latranyi]

Chris is trying to pin Dean down on foreign policy --- all Dean can do is bash Bush without specifics.

[Peach]

Ditto your comments.

She's slick and Russert is not up to the task.

When she said they did things right in Kosovo and Bosnia, he should have shot back that they never found the mass graves the administration had told us we'd find AND we are still over there, despite the administration telling us that we'd be out in a couple of months.

[Carolinamom]

Wallace keeps hammering Dean to answer the question, "Do you not see President Bush actions having a high moral purpose?"

[Wait4Truth]

Hope you're right about Wallace. I have been somewhat disconcerted to see the leftward drift of Fox considering what the network was when it started. Tell us more about having hillary on tape, please. I had not heard this before.

[Erik Latranyi]

Ah, the old "We could contain Sadaam..." line being used.

9-11 never happened in Dean's world.

[ctonious]

So far Wallace is pissing me off. He was all over Card - rudely interrupting at all opportunities - but now sitting back like a lapdog, hanging on every word of Nikita.

[COBOL2Java]

Now asking Nikita about his fitness to be president. Challenged him about his comment that Bush was warned ahead of 9-11.

[Peach]

I switched over, had enough of Hitlery.

[thesummerwind]

How can he help it? He's liberal Mike Wallace's kid. He has been raised in a liberal atmosphere

It doesn't always happen that way. Quite the opposite.

I want the military deferment (bad back!)/ski-bum chapter confronted!!!! Dean will blow if he is confronted on a thing like that. He will know that Americans will understand. 'Short Fuse Dean' will blow if he is asked this. I have e-mailed all week about this. Lame-o Chris Matthews punked out the other night on the subject!

[Peach]

Now asking Dean about sealed records. Probably won't confront him with his promise to unseal his records if Bush unseals his (which are unsealed).

[NittanyLion]

To his credit, he challenged Dean on Bush being warned about 9-11 by Saudi Arabia...

[Erik Latranyi]

Excellent!!!! Wallace is asking Dean about his sealed records!

Dean responds: "We're trying to get a third party the review those records so they could be released."

[TomGuy]

Hillary admits NATO has done its part in Afghanistan. She wants Nato to do more. Hmmmm...but she thinks she, as President, could convince Nato and the UN to provide MORE troops???? Delusional.

[ctonious]

I am changing my opinion in real time - Wallace is grilling Dean as hard as I did Card.

[thesummerwind]

Why is she making the rounds this morning?

She's getting ready for the (Campaign abuses) indictment in January - is a guess. "Oh look Bush and the Justice Department are picking on me because I've been critical."

[ctonious]

Wallace is grilling Dean as hard as I did Card

That should read" "as hard as he did Card."

[NittanyLion]

Yep - Wallace is ripping him on the sealed records now...
