James Hoffa was great on TV yesterday. In case you missed it, here's the transcript, with my two favorite exchanges highlighted. SHIELDS: Mary Matalin, Republican operative, Vice President Cheney's counselor, said, quote, "I love Hoffa. I love the Teamsters," end quote. Now is it reciprocated? HOFFA: Well, we were working very closely with her. She's a great lady, and we had a great experience lobbying the House with regard to ANWR. We worked side by side, and we're very proud of what we did and she showed a lot of get-up-and-go with it, and we did it, too. And our lobbyists did a great job. It wasn't just me; it was all of us together. And we worked with the administration. We're proud of having passed it in the House, and we formed a very good relationship with Mary Matalin. and NOVAK: Mark, Mr. Hoffa said that he isn't going to be talked out of his position on ANWR by Joe Lieberman and John Kerry, two friends of the Teamsters Union. On the contrary, he's an independent person. He's going to try to talk them out of their position. That's going to be interesting to see. SHIELDS: I'll say this: On Alaska drilling and Mexican trucks, the Teamsters under Jim Hoffa show themselves to be a very powerful, political force. cnn.com
