Abizaid did a terrific job on Meet the Press. And Russert game him time and opportunity to make his case.
Mauro on Fox was a snake. You could just see him looking for every opportunity to make the President look like a jerk.
Gary is a dim - and they are out of power in TX.
I happened to see this segment and didn't get that impression. He said GWB is likable and stays on message and the only fault (from his perspective) he cited was that GWB won't display "intellectual curiosity" about anything his opponent will raise.
I thought he was pretty nice about GWB in light of that article we read yesterday which certainly did seem to mischaracterize that race. Chris Wallace pointed out GWB led Mauro by 40 points going into that debate (which casts a different light, too, on setting up the whens and wheres) and Mauro chuckled and said "it was actually 35".
