OMG! Bob Schieffer is wetting himself over Bush!

[Cascadian]

I just saw CBS's Bob Scheiffer just fawning over Bush's press conference. Calling him "passionate" and he carried himself so well! Did anybody see and hear this crap?

:puke:

1. Schieffer cannot be trusted. His brother is in business with the BFEE.

4. Yeah--didn't Schieffer "moderate" a Kerry/Bush debate?

With such even-handed questions as:

"Mr. Kerry, when did you stop beating your wife?"

and

"Mr. Bush, what do you like most about being a good Christian?"

7. more info on Schieffer's brother, Tom

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Schieffer

In 1989, Schieffer became a partner of George W. Bush and Edward W. Rose in Ballpark Development, the company that bought the Texas Rangers baseball club. He invested US$1.4 million in the venture, and was responsible for the operations of the company as well as the building of The Ballpark in Arlington, Texas. By the time Bush was elected Republican Governor of Texas in 1994, Schieffer was identified as a political supporter.

The partnership sold the team in June 1998, with all the partners realizing very large profits, but Schieffer stayed on until April 1999, when he resigned to become a consultant. He then formed the J. Thomas Schieffer Management Company, which he headed until he was nominated as U.S. Ambassador to Australia by the incoming Bush Administration in 2001. He also served on the boards of the Penrose Foundation, the Dallas County Community College Foundation, the Dallas 2012 Olympic Committee, the Tarrant County College Foundation and the Winston School. He was also a member of the executive committee of the Dallas Chamber of Commerce where he co-chaired the Legislative Affairs Committee.

12. Isn't Schieffer also ...

connected with the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)? Everyone from the AEI is a shameless PNAC-Agenda cheerleader.

2. That's too bad...

I like Bob. He COULD BE doing this as a brief concession, to make CBS look "less liberal." Usually Bob is great on Face the Nation.

Remember though, Bob just interviewed Darth Borg Cheney...so who knows...

3. The BFEE replaced Rather with their toady.

5. I did a bit of quick network surfing following the *speech*

and they all seemed to be in whore overdrive. At least their slobbering was relatively brief.

6. Puke

Passionate.

Strange, we must have been watching different press conferences.

I got:

Stupid.

Deceitful.

Conning.

Moronic.

Embarrassing.

Irrelevant.

No. No passion.

9. Schieffer's finished

If he said that, he's gone nuts as well.

Too bad, he had a long and distinguished career.

10. Isn't he the same one who lobbed softball questions at Cheney

last weekend on Face the Nation?

[Canuckistanian]

11. I never saw that

But judging from what Cheney said (I read excerpts), he wasn't challenged by many tough questions.
