Let's see. On ABC's This Week, 2008 Dem Presidential Hopeful John Edwards railed against "powerful interests," declaring that he's always fought them and will continue to fight them as President.
Alan Greenspan was up next on TW, still pimping his book, and he said that as the post-Cold War disinflation was coming to an end, the central banks had to fight inflation, because economic growth comes with low inflation.
On FNS, Boston Red Sox director George Mitchell discussed the crimes of Andy Pettitte with Boston Red Sox fan and host Chris Wallace.
Next on FNS, Jane Harman proclaimed that she had warned the CIA years ago not destroy that interrogations vid, and she questioned why they made it in the first place. Pete Hoekstra discussed the intelligence community, how it was incompetent, arrogant, politically motivated. And, in their view, accountable to no one.
On MTP, 2008 Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney held up well under some discomforting questioning by host Tim Russert.
On FTN, host Bob Schieffer first talked to 2008 GOP Presidential hopeful Fred Thompson, who plants to hit the pavement in Iowa, with five scheduled stops per day and an untold number of impromptu visits along the way. Thompson discussed illegal immigration and, when asked by Schieffer to attack both Huckabee and Romney, took on Mike but barely bothered with Mitt.
John Edwards was next on FTN, and he talked again about fighting big corporations. He said they must be fought directly and that no compromise is possible. He informed us that the Des Moines Register selected Hillary over himself because they are afraid to take on the special interests, preferring Hillary's brand of compromise.
On LE, Joe Biden blamed the Justice Department for the destruction of the CIA tapes and proclaimed that he didn't trust Bush or Cheney either. And he doesn't trust Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, whom he said has not been a good ally in the War on Terror.
Next on LE, Senator Evan Bayh said that the latest NIE actually stated that Iran had not given up its nuclear weapons program; rather, the date when they would have nukes was delayed a little. Senator Kit Bond said that any talk of a rush to military action against Iran was a "figment of the imaginations of those [Dems] running for President."
On LE, Mike Huckabee defended himself against Mitt Romney's complaints about his Foreign Policy article in which he talked about the Bush Administrations arrogant bunker mentality, or whatever. He explained that "with us or with the terrorists" was not the way to go about building a coalition, and that he's stood with the President's tax cuts when Romney opposed then; and with the President, the President's father, and Ronald Reagan when Romney refused.
