Feels like you ended this post mid-sentence... as if you were just starting to get on a roll and cut it short...

ACE - a droll, fairly amusing take on the deficiencies of the CBS investigators over at liberal Slate.

Pretty much on mark, some new insights, too.

Ace, I'm a little confused by the Hewitt statement. He said, "Does anybody really think there wouldn't have been more scrutiny if this had been about John Kerry?"

Syntactically and logically, that makes no sense. Did he mean, "Does anybody really think there would have been as much scrutiny if this had been about John Kerry?" That seems to be what you think he said.

You gotta give Hewitt credit, he openly claimed to have handed Clinton the nomination and still cliams to not be biased.

DON HEWITT (Executive Producer, "60 Minutes"): And they came to us
because they were in big trouble in New Hampshire. They were about to
lose right there and they needed some first aid. They needed some
bandaging. What they needed was a paramedic. So they came to us and
we did it and that's what they wanted to do. When I told Tim Russer
that I was persona-non-grata at the White House, he said, "Why?" I
said, "The Gennifer Flowers interview." He said, "You got him the
nomination." I said, "I know that." As far as I know from the
conversations I've had, Bernie Nussbaum knew that, Gergen knows that,
Lloyd Cutler certainly knows it 'cause Lloyd had a hand in his coming
on that night.

"You know it was strong medicine the way I edited it but he was a very
sick candidate. He needed very strong medicine, and I'm not in the
business of doctoring candidates but he got up out of a sick bed that
night and walked to the nomination and as I said to Mandy, "You know
if I'd edited it your way, you know where you'd be today? You'd still
be up in New Hampshire looking for the nomination." He became the
candidate that night. "

Sixty minutes has been in the bag for the left since day one. Even when the left takes a major dump on them, they do everything they can to help whoever their candidate is, and it comes from the top down. I hadn't though about Hewitt's quote on giving Clinton the Whitehouse in a long time. They really should rerelease the Clinton Chronicles on DVD, well before the 2008 campaigns start, so there's no appearance of attempting to influence the election.

AMEN!

I was thinking that Olbermann may, in fact, be a brilliant comedian, deeply ironic, and that I should start watching his show for the awsome "deliberate unintended" humor.
