oselleQuestion: Why do reporters only turn on the tough talk when they're interviewing someone like Valerie Plame?
Go HERE to watch the video of Plame's interview with Katie Couric on 60 Minutes this weekend. It was a pretty generic interview until Katie put on her hardball face and started grilling Plame about why she posed for Vanity Fair. I'm surprised Couric didn't bitchslap her for being too blonde.
Oh, how I wish the likes of Couric would get on their high horses when they're interviewing, say, Dick Cheney.
The other hilarious thing I heard this weekend was some conservative nut named Kate O'Beirne on Meet The Press saying that a big problem for a Hillary Clinton presidency was that "no one wants to go back to the 1990s." And the sneer in her voice when she said "1990s," as if of course we all agree that the 1990s was nothing but a looong national nightmare. Wow, I remember the 1990s -- I remember 99-cent gasoline, an economy that wasn't tanking, an actual budget surplus, a New Orleans that wasn't a sodden wasteland and oh yeah...living in a country that wasn't drowning in two wars while idiotically threatening another. Yeah, those 90s sucked.

He couldn't have known then how very prophetic that comment was.
