Bob Scheiffer is a journalist I really don't care for. He refers to President Bush as "Mr. Bush" or "George Bush". If he had any ounce of respect, he would call him "President Bush", but I think he doesn't call him "President Bush" because he's of the mind that President Bush stole Florida. Scheiffer is a DNC Hack who shouldn't be moderating anything, including his own TV show. If indeed he's fair, that'll be a first.
I had real reservations about him doing it, too... especially in light of Rather-Gate -- but listening to him, he says he doesn't walk the same line as the rest of the people at cBS because of his background as a beat Journalist and seeing the other side of the coin. so we'll see. Personally, Brit Hume would be my choice, but they didn't ask me.
