with Michael Wolff and Murray Waas. I was wondering if Michael Wolf is always an arrogant prick or just on this particular occasion. If he had a valid point (re: his Vanity Fair article) it was mute next to his patronizing of Waas.

Did anyone else listen to the show? He came off as an Miller apologist just to show he was a superior journalist to a mere "investigative" reporter who writes for salon. That guy is a dick.

1. I saw him yesterday and read his article earlier in the week.

I liked Wolff's article a lot but also thought he was a condescending prick to Waas. Thought it was totally uncalled for.

2. Yeah I was confused. I didn't expect a combative segment at all.

I thought they were making similar points and he kept telling Waas he was off subject or that he didn't understand magazines, and what not. perhaps he was hung up on something that was left unspoken. Is he normally like that? If I hadn't read the article I would have taken him for a wingnut-because he had that same tone, the one I always tune out.

And then there was the garbled mention of "you leftist...uhmmm" which got thrown in very quickly and then, I'm not sure if it was retracted by Wolf or was glossed over but I'm pretty certain he said it, near the end somewhere. I was really confused by that point.
