I'm shocked, OK, maybe not. Note: Sam Nunn via Wikipedia- There was speculation that he could have been the running mate of Democratic candidate Barack Obama in 2008. Nunn currently serving as an informal chief advisor to President-elect Obama in a transition of State and Defense Departments[2].

....Couric shed some light on her preparation for the interviews: Beforehand, she sought advice from former senator Sam Nunn and Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haas. They told her to draw Palin out on her geopolitical worldview and urged her to let the governor speak at length without interrupting her. Maybe she should bring them along with her when she takes over at Meet the Press?

Wish someone had asked Obama about his geopolitical worldview and giving him plenty of time to stutter, hem, haw, and step in it.

Why do I remember Sam Nunn as one of the only GOOD guys in the Democratic Party? Am I missing something? What’s up with that?

Because they know too much. Simply, because, you see the useful idiots; the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of Soviet or Communist or Socialist or whatever system; when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That's why my KGB instructors specifically made the point, "never bother with leftists, forget about these political prostitutes - aim higher" this was my instruction. Try to get into, uh, large circulation, established conservative media. Reach filthy rich movie makers, intellectuals in so-called academic circles. Cynical, ego-centric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie. This are the most recruitable people; people who lack moral principals - who are either too greedy or too, uh, suffer from self-importance, uh, they feel that they matter a lot. Uh, these are the people who KGB wanted very much to recruit.

I have no respect for a lady that turns down a date with Kenny Chesney.

Yes. See Richard Lugar only with an D instead of an R after his name.

They are both Beltway creatures and an 'outsider' like Palin who doesn't understand 'how the game is played' sends shivers up their spines instead of tingles up their legs.

They have no chits nor dirt on her and and in Washington, that makes her a threat to their rice bowl.
