Petraeus to sit down with hard hitting journalist

[Kingofalldems]

asking tough questions. His name: Brit Hume. Every day seems to bring another outrage. The Nixon crew were pikers compared to these guys.

[Cha]

1. Everybody with a brain knows

brit hume is a pissy faux koolaid imbiber..they are so hoisted on their own fucking petard.

[Kingofalldems]

4. The idiot fox viewers actually believe he's a journalist

I bet the White House will give him an outline of what to ask, if not the entire list of questions.

[Botany]

2. I would take Nixon in a heartbeat over these guys ....

.... even Nixon saw the danger of the Neo Cons and warned against
getting U.S. troops involved on the ground in the mid east before
he died.

[Kingofalldems]

7. And Nixon was actually a veteran

The gop has now become a party dominated with chickenhawks--who believe their life is worth much more than any soldier.

3. Brit Hume? What if Hillary Clinton only granted interviews on PBS and AirAmerica?

Every day when I think, "this could be the day it turns around"... I'm so ever disappointed...

I just want to know how much worse this whole damn situation can get...

5. Stand by; this week will be interesting, to say the least. nt

6. From what I have read preppyboy Brit Hume is the only

interview being granted by the WH.

8. Oh, that's absolutely classic bush!

Another utterly cynical jab at the war/bush weary American public. Press interview? Sure we'll give you your little interview, get Hume on the phone!

9. May the Ghost of Jack Anderson

...pay you a visit in the night, Mr. Hume.

10. Hume is beneath Petraeus. Shame on the general. I'd tune in to a talk

between David Petraeus and Jim Lehrer, though.

11. To follow up his hard hitting interview with Hugh Hewitt...

Could this guy be any more transparent? If he is so confident in what he is saying then he should go on Olbermann's show.

12. The propaganda machine is in full gear.

[The Wielding Truth]

13. This is hilarious. What a sham!

[Laxman]

14. I've Got A Better Idea

Why don't they just do an infomercial. They could have Patreus on with that Australian guy who sells the mops and the magic can openers-complete with the phony studio audience. They can run it over and over again on every cable channel during the early morning hours. I can see it now..."But that's not all, if you call and support the surge in the next 30 minutes we'll throw in an invasion of Iran for free!". Perfect. There will be a bunch of drooling morons sitting home in front of their T.V.'s dialing away to order a surge of their own.

15. You're missing the real story here...

If the Administration is giving this "exclusive" interview to Fox, it means they've given up on trying to sway the disenchanted public back to their side (or they'd have Petraeus and Croker make the rounds of every network). Going to Fox is a desperate effort to keep the base on on the reservation.

16. Will that interview be before or after the White House writes his report for him?

Scumbag tool.

17. This whole thing is a sham.
