Is this what one should expect if the Fairness Doctrine is modified?

Kerry: "You know, education, if you make the most of it ... you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

No bias in the liberal media you say? Would it be realistic to ever expect the average "Democrat" being asked a question that contained one half the rancor of this question? Or even a tenth for Hillary? Not holding my breath for it to happen. "Fighters are fun but bombers make policy"

Seeing how former Bill Clinton's spoiled brat behavior is completely acceptable to the MSM, VP Cheney should have should have stood up and simply taken Wolf Blitzer down to the tarmac.

For goodness sake, all Chris Wallace did a few months back was ask Bill Clinton (softening the question by noting that "hindsight is always 20/20") if, as a book suggested, "Why didn't you do more to put bin Laden and Al Qaeda out of business when you were president?" That was enough for Clinton to erupt into a full blown temper tantrum. And the media comes to Clinton's aid and defends him.

Wolf Blitzer questions the credibility of the Vice President because of "blunders, of the failures" of the Iraq effort. Why couldn't Blitzer just ask a straight question, say, In hindsight,  "could you guys have done more," or "what could you have done differently to make Iraq more secure?"

An then Blitzer digs into the very personal matters involving VP Cheney's daughter. Oh come on, Cheney should have taken him down.

Let's see, the progressive economist, Dean Baker, said that Clinton's financial leadership during the late 90's was the worst since Hoover. He added that as a result, millions of Americans lost their savings and their college education funds for their children (knock one up for improving the education of our children). He also added that it would take years for the US to recover. Fortunately, President Bush helped us over that hump. Any journalist out there have the courage to follow up with Bill Clinton on that one?

How about Kosovo? Jimmy Carter condemned it. Nelson Mandela condemned it. Come on Wolf. Next time you have Clinton on, try this. "Mr. Clinton, with Kosovo looking a bit shaky again, if you could go back in time (hindsight and all) do you think it might have been wise for you to actually obtain the needed resolution from the UN? Why do you think none of us in the press then, had any conviction at all - why could we not ask you how you felt about Carter, Mandela and many others condemning your bombing campaign? Was it really about Caspian resources? Why was it, you fired Gen. Wesley Clark, and how come his supporters (and the MSM) never knew that you fired him?" 

Oh, how about the personal side? In the back of my mind, I'm just sure as heck, that there are a heck of a lot personal items that a few in the media would like to ask Bill Clinton. About Chelsea, perhaps? About Hillary? How about some of those details of what happened there on the couch in the oval office? Does anyone think for a moment that all Clinton is going to say is, "you're out of line."

Remind me to get to the point if by saying this first I fail to:  Having hung with NPR hot dog stand lunch crowd today and now listened to Lieberman and company on Lehrer New Hour,  I still come to say it is time to openly discuss the crusading of Bill and Hillary as champions of your (theirs only, though in your name?) policies and how such was as welcome as forced busing was at first in America.  We now have a President thought to be an oil first President championing green technologies and alterantive science more so than even Al Gore.  This President is really making us question ourselves now on our earlier suspitions on "compationate conservatism."  His State of Union speach last night was live on tv recorded as receiving above 85% positive rating as night went east to west.  Sometimes being called to the national stage can change the intended blessing of chosen names or just words.  How Dick "she-knee"  came to be base note of opposition and effected a daughter of his named Mary (Marry) Cheney (She Knee) is still beyond goal of discussion of even our currently elected Democrats.   Please "stay the course" Mr. President since the Democrats still don't see the risk of even slight misinterpretations of chosen words or proper names.

Two words, class and classless.

I thought you people hated lesbians.

dick cheney, bad heart and all, still looks like someone who could reach across the desk and grab someone by the throat if pushed to his limit ... that may explain pencil'neck blitzer's use of a remote camera to conduct this particular interview.
