Anybody else see this?

Yes! Just surfing and ran across it. Really a surprise to find intelligent conversations and your comments are as I saw it, too. Did you notice that several times Sullivan giggled or chuckled loudly in the middle of a Hitchens comment? Hitchens totally ignored it and kept speaking. This seems to be becoming a debate tactic but it doesn't work...as Gore's similar sighing, etc., didn't.

>That was fantastic, wasn't it - Hitchens comes across as very thoughtful and articulate even
> though I don't agree that elections should have/could have been held immediately.

Yeah, he looks to me like Ed Koch liberal, even stronger than Koch.

Wallace let Biden filibuster that entire interview.
Chris' comment about the "decaf" at the end was cute, but no substitute for maintaining control of the interview.
Sorta pitiful for a "professional" host....

I admit I switched to watching wind blown palms for the Biden segment..
Shamelessly promoting my favorite author on the MSM and Rathergate.

I saw a few minutes of it it was interesting I usually value Hitchens opinion, he seems like a straight shooter.

Powell said he thought every Iraqi should have "the opportunity" to vote. If they won't stop their warring to vote, then TOUGH.

Every American has the "opportunity" to vote, but millions do not. Yet we DO elect our President et al.

We must have heard two different interviews. I thought Wallace slammed Biden.

I watched it. I was alerted by another Freeper just minutes before it began. Good show. I felt though that Russert was a good moderator and did not interject comments at all during the hour. It was worth watching.

Russert's just trying to give credibility to Kerry's quotes.

Yes, after Rush's interview this one stands out on top.

Wallace tried to slap him around...I'll admit, but Biden was in hyper-spin mode. How the hell Biden got away with saying that JFnKerry's Dec. 2003 remarks and his anti-war comments from yesterday are "completely consistent" is astounding.

think Russert did try a little to steer the conversation into Bush bashing

Yes he definitely did. He seemed disappointed that they were defending the war in Iraq as strongly as they were. Hitchens thought Saddam needed to be taken out a long time ago and genuinely praised GWB for having the courage to do it.

That was a great show - Russert hardly had to ask Hutchins or Sullivan any questions. As much as it pained them, they both had to admit that intellectual honesty would require them to vote for Bush rather than Kerry.
