CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan, who just relocated to Washington DC, was the first correspondent to interview Barack Obama during his just-begun, but much talked-about overseas trip. The discussion happened today in Afghanistan and aired this morning on Face the Nation and on CBS Evening News.

Politico's Mike Allen reports, of the three network anchors covering the overseas trip Katie Couric will go first, interviewing Obama on Tuesday "in a country that the campaign does not want named for security reasons." Charles Gibson gets Obama on Wednesday, and Brian Williams will go Thursday. Allen writes, at least one publication is not represented on the Obama press plane:

Forty journalists, including such leading correspondents as Dan Balz of The Washington Post, will be aboard his plane for next week's swing through Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and England.

The campaign received 200 requests for press seats on the plane.

Among those for whom there was no room was Ryan Lizza, Washington correspondent of The New Yorker. The campaign, which was furious about the magazine's satirical cover this week, cited space constraints in turning him away.

Wow! Now this is a surprise!

[abb]

Of interest.

Politico's Mike Allen reports, of the three network anchors covering the overseas trip Katie Couric will go first, interviewing Obama on Tuesday "in a country that the campaign does not want named for security reasons."

Too bad the media does not feel the same way about real national secrets such as troop movements and top secret security tactics.

LOL! Good One!

NEWS BABE'S 'IRAQI TRYST' (FR mentioned)

Interesting choice, Barry. Wonder how ya made it.

[sauropod]

I heard recently this “reporter” hold forth on the current Administration and the war.

Objective she is not.

[Gay State Conservative]

Didn't I read something about her recently suggesting that she's the kind of gal who,in her private life,is willing to spread her legs for every Tom,Dick and Harry who comes along? Assuming this is true what's to stop her from spreading them,while on the job,for every Pelosi,Reid and Obama that comes along?

Naw. But she's eye candy! ;-)

Objective she is not.

The word presstitute springs to mind...

[Hot Tabasco]

Lara Logan,

I wonder who she did last night?

[sauropod]

See post # 8. That is what I was referring to.

[gridlock]

She would have looked more serious if she had borrowed Ashleigh Banfield's fake glasses...

[Married with Children]

I’ll second that!

[abb]

You sure know how to draw hits to a thread...

Headline writing is most of the battle in the information war.

[imskylark]

“correspondent Lara Logan,”

Did she faint?

[McGruff]

Sorry mate. She's already taken.

[gridlock]

Might as well face it...

Scandalous CBS Reporter Lands Obama Interview

This blogger thinks she did a decent job with the interview.

[abb]

The Drive-By Media, by definition, is incapable of impartial reporting.

[mewzilla]

I’d love to hear the backstory behind Logan getting the interview.

[JRochelle]

Micheal Ware did at one time have a straight nose.

[abb]

I’d love to hear the backstory behind Logan getting the interview.

Probably not a family-friendly story.

[edpc]

I guess this explains why Michelle did not accompany him on this trip.......?

President-select Osama is just Warren Buffett’s puppet on a string. Buffet-line will be soon our dictator-in-chief!

[tobyhill]

Someone needs to smack it the other way and straighten it out.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Taken by whom?

"Logan is in a relationship with a federal contractor from Texas whom she met in Iraq and plans to marry.[8] She is pregnant with his child, due in January 2009.[8] As of July 2008, her divorce from her previous husband, Jason Siemon, a professional basketball player in the United Kingdom, is imminent.[3][8] Logan complained to Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post that her personal life had been "tabloid fodder."[8]" -- (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

[abb]

Taken by whom?

I don't know by whom, but I suspect the numbers are legion.

[airborne]

Maybe now we know why he left the old lady at home!

[bray]

Wonder how that Slut got the first interview and how big her Obasm is going to be?

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Is she the correspondent who has “democracy” and “peace” tattooed on her ankles ?

[mewzilla]

If Logan's into tattoes, my suggestion for her next one...

When a woman has lost her chastity she will shrink from nothing.

Tacitus

[mewzilla]

...tattoos...

[abb]

tramp stamps?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Yes...with these tattoos, she is prepared to spread peace and democracy all over Iraq.

[mewzilla]

Well, I like tattoos actually. I’ve never gotten one because I keep thinking of what gravity would do to it should I be fortunate enough to live a long life :)

[Soliton]

Naw. But she's eye candy! ;-)

But she is pregnant and not with her hubby's baby,

[Eric in the Ozarks]

See #43.

[Soliton]

I can forgive, nay even applaud, a pretty girl for being a slut, but I can not forgive her for being a slut with Michael Ware. He is that mumbling, unhygenic Aussie who reports from Iraq for CNN. HE absolutely hates america. “Naaaaw Wooof, tha suuhge ain’t woikin!”

[BruceysMom]

No matter how good she looks, some guy somewhere is sick of her sh!t, and I’m guessing it’s her husband.

[calex59]

.Yes...with these tattoos, she is prepared to spread peace and democracy all over Iraq.

Don't you mean piece and democracy?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Yes and no.
If the words are tattooed on her ankles she'd,, well, be eager to, well...
