Condoleezza Rice on 60 Minutes Live Thread [7pm EST, Sunday 3/28]

I was waiting for this to go up. We're about t-minus one hour from it (depending on how long Duke-Xavier goes, I guess). Too bad it's not going to be a long interview like Clarke had. I've noticed that 60 Minutes are not promoting this either. The commercial I just saw advertised the story on soccer phenom Freddy Adu, not the story on Rice or Pickering. I also discovered from the link referenced above that Rice spoke to them this morning and not yesterday as I'd heard would be the case before. Bill Kristol predicted this morning that Rice might say that if this is really such a big deal that she'll testify in public under oath as she's been badgered to do. I don't think Bill has a good track record on predicting news, so take that with a grain of salt. By the way, go Xavier-- I had Duke losing before now in my office pool bracket, but my opponents have them winning it all.

Former CJCs says it was not a priority.

O'Neill says it was not a priority.

BOB WOODWARD says it was not a priority! Give me a freaking break!!!

[Endeavor]

Ed is saying there have been more attacks by AQ since we've been attacking them which proves we shouldn't be attacking them. He is such a fool. And a typical liberal democrat.

[Mo1]

What's this about no attacks 30 months prior to 9/11

USS Cole ring a bell??

[mystery-ak]

Bradely's tone is disgusting...keeps interrupting her.......Condi mentioning Somalia...YEAH!

[Peach]

Yes he did.

[KillTime]

OMG, ol Ed has just taken the Nevil Chamberlin line.

[mathluv]

'They saw us cut and run in Somalia.' At least Ed is not interupting her now.

[babaloo]

Condi said the terrorists saw us "cut and run in Somalia"

[Darlin']

I've seen Bradley interview thugs and criminals with more respect than he is showing to Dr Rice.

[prairiebreeze]

Edit number 3

[NeoCaveman]

4. Why isn't she detailing why the Bush administration was particularly concerned about Iraq AND AQ.

Why didn't they do that before Operation Iraqi Freedom?

Why do they never show the Iraq link, ever?

[Cosmo]

Now he's shifting the topic to Iraq and how Americans are split.
tHis is too much

[Ben Chad]

Disgusting

[Trueblackman]

The difference in this interview is that Rice is a intelligent woman who can hold her own.

[A Citizen Reporter]

Ed Bradley is presenting "persceptions and presumptions" as fact. How do people watch this show, and still have the brains to tie their shoes?

[Peach]

Condi needs to control the interview, not let him control her.

She also could have used waaaay better answers about why the president rightly was concerned about Iraq in the day or two following 9/11.

Lousy WMD answer. I'm a Condi fan but think she could have been better prepared. Somehow the administration sometimes has a tin ear with regard to the things that resonate with the American people.

[small voice in the wilderness]

"WMD. Country is split. Are we fighting the right war?" ben asks ignorantly. And she MUST sit there and control herself.

[NYC Republican]

All negative attacks so far by Bradley.

It's a HIT piece. CBS is a bunch of bastards!!! So blatantly biased, I can hardly watch this crap. Bradley and 60 Minutes are total SCUM!!!
