Sean explained interview etiquette earlier in the broadcast. If you're an interviewer and you want anyone to appear on your show, you have to assure them of an opportunity to present their own view. In this case, it sounds like Sean bent over too far, Alan Colmes-style. Maybe's he's hoping that a performance like today's will lead to an audience with Hillary ;-)

Frankly, I'd cut him some slack. Emotionally, he hasn't come down from the high induced by the capture of Saddam, so he's being nice to everybody. That, and his Christmas spirit, which led him to forgive a girl who ran her car into his over the weekend.

I understand that to a point. However, when he did ask the question about the F-bomb, he allowed Kerry to equate his behavior with President Bush.

As to being nice to guests to get them to appear - we are talking about people who would show up wherever a camera or microphone appears. That they are running against Dean means they will appear anywhere, anytime and in any way. Can't allow that opportunity like that to slip through one's fingers as I think Sean did.

No, I don't forgive. We are in a domestic battle for hearts and minds and he Let Kerrry obfuscate and mislead without challenge. It is one of those defining moments and Hannity didn't show me anything. Sean's a nice guy--too nice.
