Here is video of Rush Limbaugh today in an clip from his extensive interview with Chris Wallace saying that President Obama is "destroying" the private sector in America, and that he "has to think it may be on purpose." I think Rush is absolutely right. Obama's policies are designed to enlarge government and shrink the private sector. He has no desire to help small businesses to flourish or to encourage the expansion of a strong private sector. You can see the entire interview here.

H/T to Glenn Beck) Glenn Beck just ran a snippet of something that Patrick Kennedy said on the 25th. Here's the full quote at least is it is reported by the Providence Journal. (it's important to note that Kennedy's remarks are in response to the health care debate) My family’s seen it up close too much with assassinations and violence in political life. It’s a terrible thing when people think that in order to get their point across they have to go to the edge of violent rhetoric and attack people personally,” Kennedy told the nurses, union officials and AARP...

Here is video of ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis appearing on Fox News Sunday today, where she was questioned by Chris Wallace. GOP Rep. Darrell Issa also appeared on the show. President Obama refused to appear on Fox News today, even though he appeared on five other Sunday shows. So, Fox News Sunday booked Bertha Lewis and Issa. Lewis said "any organization is not entirely perfect," and admitted she was outraged by what she has seen in the undercover video tapes. She said, "Internally, let's have some reform." Issa said Lewis needs to agree to a full review of how past...

The outrage over ACORN, the controversial grass roots community organization, reaches a fever pitch as lawmakers in Washington begin to act. Chris Wallace gets the story behind the accusations from ACORN's CEO Bertha Lewis and from one of the group's harshest Congressional critics Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

Oh boy....when the MSM starts to turn on the messiah you really know the guy has fallen back to earth. Here is Chris Wallace bemoaning the fact that the White House is the "biggest bunch of crybabies" he has ever encountered on the job in the last 30 years: [VIDEO AT SITE] Reagan's White House, one of the most professional. Obama's White House....the worst bunch of scallywag's! Bad part is that he notices the tactic is working on some of his colleagues. (Excerpt) Read more at floppingaces.net

The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign. At issue is a question that was never resolved following McCain’s loss in November: Who in the McCain campaign was secretly trashing Sarah Palin to the press? (snip) .... What follows is the email exchange with Bill Kristol that Schmidt rooted out, where Scheunemann speculates that the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband.

Sunday morning + political talk shows + coffee. The equation has been a vital ritual in Washington for six decades now, manned by a rarified fraternal order of newsmen who practice some very basic journalism. It's the David Gregory, Chris Wallace, George Stephanopoulos, Bob Schieffer hour of charm.

Clearing the air vs. splitting hairs and distorting Cold War history (Part 1) Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter whitewashed Since the downfall of the Soviet Union, volumes have been written about that late superpower's penetration of American Society and its institutions before and during the Cold War years. It can be said without credible contradiction that what we now know about Soviet spying and infiltration of the U.S. for seven decades vindicates the much-maligned anti-Communists (in and out of Congress) of that era. If anything, they didn't know the half of it. It was they who warned — often to...

Darwin’s illegitimate brainchild If you thought Darwin’s Origin was original, think again! by Russell Grigg, Australia The concept of evolution by natural selection is sometimes referred to as Charles Darwin’s brainchild, and indeed he often referred to it in his letters to his friends as his dear ‘child’. However, this is a far cry from the facts. At best it was an adopted child; at worst an illegitimate child...

Wow -that is some savage cutting & gutting that Nicole Wallace has just performed upon Sarah Palin. Nicole & I crossed swords once, during the Harriet Miers nomination battle. Watching what Nicole can do when she is seriously annoyed, I am grateful that I got away from that fight with nothing worse than a few bumps and bruises .... That said: Some of these stories do not ring quite true to me, especially the story about Palin allegedly not realizing that Africa was a continent rather than a country. Apparently she did not grasp that "South Africa" was not the...

Here is video of McCain aide Nicolle Wallace on the Today Show with Matt Lauer this morning where she talked about the accusations against Gov. Sarah Palin. Wallace has been accused of being one of the leakers inside the campaign, putting out damaging information against Gov. Palin. With Lauer, Wallace said Gov. Palin "did nothing wrong," but she did not flatly deny the accusations against Palin, nor did she deny sharing information with the press. . . . . (Watch Video)

Since I've had to listen for two months why Sarah Palin was "not" qualified to be VP,.... ...exactly what qualifications does Nicolle Wallace have to be a "Senior Advisor" to a future POTUS? I mean, she's had a period...okay. She's friends with Katie Couric She like George Bush Nicolle: If you are out there, please enlighten us with your qualifications.

<p>One of the aides tells CNN that campaign manager Rick Davis fired Scheunemann after determining that he had been in direct contact with journalists spreading "disinformation" about campaign aides, including Nicolle Wallace and other officials.</p> <p>"He was positioning himself with Palin at the expense of John McCain's campaign message," said one of the aides.</p>

FBI Warns of Potential Terror Attacks The FBI and Department of Homeland Security today issued an analytical "note" to U.S. law-enforcement officials cautioning that al-Qaida terrorists have in the past expressed interest in attacking public buildings using a dozen suicide bombers each carrying 20 kilograms of explosives. Authors with the U.S. Office of Intelligence and Analysis added that they have "no credible or specific information that terrorists are planning operations against public buildings in the United States." The FBI and DHS analysts said they were releasing the note because "it is important for local authorities and building owners and...

We know that history holds many surprises. One doesn't expect to learn more about the secret history of of the Gulag than we already know from both Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Acrcipelago" and Anne Applebaum's "Gulag: A history." This feat, however, is exactly what author Tim Tzouliadis has accomplished: the previously unknown story of the thousands of Americans who, during the Depression, sought employment and a better future in the "worker's paradise" built by the Bolsheviks. All kinds of Americans joined the exodus. Some of them were Communists or fellow-travelors but the majority were average Americans - skilled workers promised paid passage,...

While the main stream media is trying to make an issue out of the pregnancy of Sarah Palin's daughter, John McCain's spokesperson Nicole Wallace expertly handled pointed and aggressive questions from Diane Sawyer and Meredith Viera on two morning shows. Diane and Meredith kept trying to create controversy and Nicole expertly put them in their place. Hurray to her. It's about time those being questioned fight back with pointed responses of their own.

Chris Wallace said that the Dem's Convention tonight was a "Wasted Night". Ted and Michelle's speeches did NOTHING, according to Mr. Wallace, to get votes for Barack Obama. I must say I agree. I thought Michelle's speech was a big "so what?". Brit Hume did everything except run down on the stage after the speech and kiss her rear end. He was sickening.

It's 150 years since Darwin made one of the the most significant breakthroughs in scientific history - the theory of natural selection. But if it hadn't been for a young ornithologist on the other side of the world, his seminal work might never have appeared.

'Every day, during the cold and succeeding hot fits, I had to lie down during which time I had...

In its final days, Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential cam paign has come to echo George Wallace’s 1968 run. Like Clinton, Wallace as a candidate stalked the Northeast exploiting white anger. Like her, he bypassed the nation’s more educated and liberal parts to focus squarely on those who felt left behind, rallying animosity against elites.

Obama appeared on Fox and the far left is upset he didn't take them on but rather was quite accommodating. The interview itself brought forth a few nuggets especially this head scratcher: WALLACE: But, Senator, if I may, I think one of the concerns that some people have is that you talk a good game about, let’s be post-partisan, let’s all come together — just a couple of quick things, and I don’t really want you to defend each one, I just want to speak to the larger issue. The gang of 14, which was a group — a bipartisan...

NEW YORK (AP) - Mike Wallace was recovering from triple heart bypass surgery that was performed last week, CBS News said Tuesday. Wallace, who turns 90 this spring, is already walking following the surgery Friday to bypass blockages near his heart. Doctors are calling the operation "a great success," the network said. Recovery from heart bypass surgery generally runs about six weeks. The veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent, who is essentially retired, recently interviewed Roger Clemens about allegations of steroid abuse. ___ CBS is a division of CBS Corp.

As NewsBusters reported last Saturday, PBS's Bill Moyers went on an absolutely disgraceful rant about Karl Rove, George W. Bush, and religion during the August 17 installment of "Bill Moyers Journal." Two days later, Rove was Chris Wallace's guest on "Fox News Sunday," and took issue with Moyers's comments: "Mr. Moyers ought to do a little bit better research before he does another drive-by slander." Moyers followed this up with a letter to Wallace posted at his blog Wednesday suggesting that Wallace didn't do his homework concerning Rove, and that Wallace shouldn't "take his every word as gospel." This Sunday,...

Arthur Bremer, who shot and paralyzed Alabama Gov. George Wallace in 1972, will be released from a Maryland prison this year. "It appears at this point in time that Arthur Bremer will be leaving the Maryland Division of Corrections sometime in late 2007," said Mark Vernarelli, director of public information for the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. "He has served all of the sentence for which he can be held." Bremer, who turned 57 this week, is scheduled for release on Dec. 16 from the Maryland Correctional Institute-Hagerstown, said Rae Sheeley, a case management specialist at the...

Here's the email I sent today to Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday: Chris - On yesterday's show, you quoted my February 11 on-air statement that my former office did not claim an operational relationship between Iraq and al Qaida. You then read from a Weekly Standard article and implied it contradicted that statement. I wish you had asked me about this matter before you aired it, because you wrongly attacked my credibility. What you quoted from the Standard was not my words. It was the magazine's interpretation of what it says was a document I sent to the Senate...

Few moments in Fox News Channel history seem to sum up the network's dilemma -- or its singular claim to entertainment value -- more than last weekend's Bill Clinton episode. The site was `` Fox News Sunday, " the public-affairs show hosted by Chris Wallace, the ABC News veteran who decamped for Fox in 2003. The guest was Clinton, who had agreed to his first-ever Fox interview, provided half of the time would be spent discussing his charity work.

September 29, 2006 New York City, New York I came to the Big Apple this week to protest against that neocon bastion of right wing propaganda, Fox News. It's one thing for this network to be the mouthpiece of the G. W. Chimpy McHitler administration, but when they dare ambush the greatest and most beloved president this country has ever known, it's go time, baby. My friend Squid and I were prepared to stand with William Jefferson Clinton in the face of this attack and our presence in front of the Fox studios shouted to the world that we were...

President Bill Clinton was overbearing, threatening, and in the face of "FOX News Sunday" host Chris Wallace. The wild eyed, finger wagging Clinton was astonishing to watch and embarrassing. He possibly could have been charged with assault and battery against the Fox host. Chris Wallace, the son of liberal 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace, appeared to be overwhelmed by the ire of his guest. Clinton was ready to pounce on anything the mild mannered interviewer asked. In most states, an assault/battery is committed when one person 1) tries to or does physically strike another, or 2) acts in a threatening...

Friday will be a week since former President Bill Clinton's angry, finger-pointing reaction to Chris Wallace's questions about his record on fighting terrorism. It's a story that continues to have legs — which Wallace considers a compliment. We talked briefly with the host of Fox News Sunday to find out more about what went on behind the scenes during the interview, which was taped Friday and telecast Sunday. Q: Chris, are you tired of talking about this? A: Yeah, I'm getting tired of me. Q: There seems to be a consensus that the interview did Clinton some good. What's your...

Chris Wallace never knew hit him. There he was, doing what his father Mike has done for years on "60 Minutes:" Asking a famous person the most obvious of questions. "Mr. President, did you do enough to stop Osama bin Laden?" — and suddenly Vesuvius was erupting. Clinton's big meaty paw pounded Fox News reporter's leg. Clinton's big meaty face pressed ever closer, seemingly straining to escape its moorings. Clinton's red-meat attacks were laced with insults at Wallace's employer ("you did FOX's bidding on this show"), his politics ("You did you nice little conservative hit job on me") and Wallace...

Michael Scheuer, former head of the "bin Laden desk" at the CIA, was interviewed on the John Gambling radio show on WABC radio (NYC) this morning.Here are a few points Scheuer made, as well I can remember (there is no transcript of the interview yet as far afaik): 1. Clinton was presented with a near perfect opportunity to kill bin Laden around December 23 or 24, 1999. (IIRC on the dates.) Clinton refused to pull the trigger in that instance NOT because he was afraid of human collateral damage, Scheuer says, but because Clinton was afraid shrapnel would hit a...

Keith Olbermann ended Monday's Countdown with his latest “Special Comment” rant, complete with video from a man on a rack in the movie 1984 as Olbermann described President's Bush's supposedly awful deeds. In praising how, in his interview aired on Fox News Sunday, “Bill Clinton did what almost none of us have done in five years. He has spoken the truth about 9/11, and the current presidential administration,” Olbermann portrayed Chris Wallace, who conducted the interview, as an agent of the White House and delivered the lowest of insults, calling Wallace “a monkey posing as a newscaster.” On Bush, Olbermann...

Bill Clinton's Rage As He Angrily Defends His Handling Of Bin Laden: Did He Do Enough To Get Al-Qaeda? http://www.vote.com/vote/60412193/ Yes: Bill Clinton said in an interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace, "I tried and I failed to get bin Laden. I regret it, but I did try and I did everything I thought I responsibly could." Blaming Clinton for failing to get Osama is a right-wing conspiracy! NO: Fox News' Chris Wallace asked former President Bill Clinton a legitimate news question about bin Laden and Clinton freaked out. It’s obvious from the attacks on the U.S. on September 11,...

You did Fox's bidding on this show. You did your nice little conservative hit job on me. . . . You set this meeting up because you were going to get a lot of criticism from your viewers because Rupert Murdoch is supporting my work on climate change. And you came here under false pretenses and said that you'd spend half the time talking about . . . what we did out there to raise $7 billion-plus over three days from 215 different commitments. And you don't care.

Bill Clinton's Terrorism Temper Tantrum Written by Doc Farmer Monday, September 25, 2006 Bill Clinton Gets Mad About Terrorism (Finally!) We all get ticked off occasionally. It happens. We even lose our temper and chew people out from time to time. I understand that, and I'd wager that most people do. We get upset when we make mistakes -- usually with ourselves, although it is natural to get a bit honked off at the person(s) who point out our mistakes. Normally, we accept their criticism (if we're honest to ourselves) and learn to correct those mistakes and prevent them in...

A stained dress, a TV mini-series and a glimpse of narcissistic rage ''You did your nice little hit job on me.'' ''Tell the truth, Chris.'' ''You came here under false pretenses.'' ''You didn't formulate it in an honest way.'' ''You got that little smirk on your face and you think you are so clever.'' – Bill Clinton interviewed by Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. And all the while jabbing (not wagging) that finger at Chris Wallace. Narcissistic rage. If you didn't see Bill Clinton lose control and reveal his pain when asked a few legitimate questions by journalist Chris...

Chris Wallace (FOX TV) just stated on the Monday morning news segment of Fox TV (aired in the 7:00 a.m. EST hour) that, not only did Bill Clinton retain his anger at Wallace after the interview was over and the cameras were off (despite Wallace trying to part on friendly terms), Clinton absolutely fumed at his own personal staff, right then and there while still on the Fox TV premises, for getting him into the interview with Wallace where he had earlier lost his head.Wallace said Clinton's blow up at his staff for this mistake was very visible and...

Following today's buzz generating conversation with Bill Clinton, Chris Wallace shared some of his post-interview thoughts with FishbowlDC: I was delighted to get the chance to interview former President Clinton. This was the first one-on-one sitdown he's ever given "Fox News Sunday" during our 10 years on the air. The groundrules were simple--15 minutes--to be divided evenly between questions about the Clinton Global Initiative and anything else I wanted to ask. I intended to keep to the groundrules. In fact--I prepared 10 questions--5 on the CGI and 5 on other issues. I began the interview with 2 questions about Mr....

The History of Successful Congressional Write-In Candidates. The Republican efforts to keep the CD-22 seat, recently vacated by former US House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, face long odds. In US history, only five times has a general election to Congress been won by a write-in candidate. US Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina won as a write-in in 1954, but was already widely known and popular figure, having previously served as Governor, as the Dixiecrat candidate for President in 1948, and was a leader of the South’s resistance to integration (Brown v. Board of Education having been decided earlier that...

In an interview with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mike Wallace of CBS’s “Sixty Minutes” TV show came away quite impressed. "He's a swell guy,” Wallace said. “He really is. He's obviously smart as hell. He’s a college professor, for Christ’s sake. Nobody’s smarter than them." "Granted he wants to wipe Israel off the map, but I’m a Jew and he didn’t kill me when he had the chance,” Wallace continued. “You’ve got to give him credit for that. I found him an interesting man. He has some intriguing ideas.” One of the “intriguing" ideas cited by Wallace was Ahmadinejad’s suggestion...

The Grand Inquisitor Confronts...Mr. Rogers? August 15, 2006 The Wall Street Journal Bernard Goldberg An old line that used to make the rounds at CBS News held that the last thing the CEO of a major corporation wanted to hear was "Mike Wallace on line one." Anyone who has ever seen my former colleague in action gets the joke immediately. But I'm guessing that Ayatollah Khomeini didn't watch "60 Minutes" very often back when he was leading the Iranian Revolution and holding Americans hostage. I'm also guessing he didn't know Mike Wallace from Kate Smith. Big mistake. The ayatollah was...

In case you all missed it have posted the entire 1 hour interview with Ahmadinejad from 60 minutes. It is divided into 7 parts. Also I wish I had the part at the end where people called into CSPAN giving reaction. So many people kept saying that Mike Wallace didnt show enough respect to the leader of Iran! What do people want us to do bow down and kiss his feet? CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO

"60 Minutes" veteran correspondent Mike Wallace may have retired last March but that didn't stop him from scoring an exclusive interview Tuesday with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. And that fact wasn't lost on the controversial Iranian president, who halfway through the interview asked Wallace: "I thought you had retired." Wallace's interview will appear on the "CBS Evening News" on Thursday night and on Sunday's "60 Minutes." The 88-year-old Wallace, who has interviewed almost every notable person in his nearly 40 years on "60 Minutes," said Wednesday that he wasn't going to let a little matter such as retirement stop him...
