XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX MON SEPT 20, 2004 20:02:09 ET XXXXX
BUSH OFFICIALS WANT CBSNEWS MODERATOR OFF DEBATE Just hours after CBSNEWS admitted it cannot prove the authenticity of documents used in a 60 MINUTES story about President Bush's National Guard service, top Bush advisers are recommending a CBS reporter be removed as moderator of a planned presidential debate, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
At question is the approved Oct. 13 debate at Arizona State University in Tempe with Bob Schieffer, chief Washington correspondent for CBSNEWS, moderating.
"Considering the circumstances, we should definitely ask that Schieffer be replaced," a top Bush adviser told the president on Monday, according to a well-placed source.
The well-placed source continued: "Who can trust these CBS people to play it straight [during the debate]? I suspect they will be out for revenge."
The president is said to have not made any decision whether to seek a removal of the planned CBSNEWS moderator.

This is just AWESOME! With any luck at all we'll end up with Brit Hume.
Good for them! I hope they stick to their guns.
Thanks for the info. Anyone who tries to outnegotiate or outsmart Jim Baker is a fool.
"is that your final answer"
ROTFLMAO spewie of the day

If you can get your 527 paperwork filed and squared away in time for the debates, then we'll play ball! :)
This is apparently why Schieffer (sp?) made his comments immediately after the news came out on the documents.
My guess is Bush will allow CBS to have a debate. Why??? Cuz Bush ain't afraid of anything!!! Bring it on!

Oh...yeah, "Mr. Kerry, is that your FINAL ANSWER?"./????
BEEEUTIFULLLLL!
Haaaaaaaaaa..
Indeed! LOL!
Pop the champagne cork!
Is this "commission" connected to the "League of Women Voters?" I know that for years the League ran the debates.
I'm curious because I saw a kiosk of the "League of Women Voters" outside of a theatre (in a mall) registering voters who went in to see the Michael Moore movie.
No kidding!
John
...swoon!...
I vote for Britt Hume.
Why can't they?
Who would most people prefer to be with at a barbeque? All President Bush needs to do is turn it into that type of "atmosphere" and it's done. Kerry would be like the guy who knows how to do the driveway better, build a better deck, advice and condescension for an hour and a half. People aren't going to want that for 4 years.
"With any luck at all we'll end up with Brit Hume."
LOL, I wish Britt could do a "find" search on his name on this thread. I would cause that lopsided, eyebrows askance smile.
Good News!
I think they are starting to read Free Republic.
