What a week!

Did you catch the interview with Noam Chomsky on NPR?

Did you catch Larry King Live on CNN with five talking heads, including James Carville, Candy Crowley and Wolf Blitzer discussing the Foley scandal, Woodward book's claim "Bush in Denial", Clinton v. Wallace? King even brings up Lieberman and the CT race. The mumbled responses seemed to indicate that he was doing OK. For some reason, the subject moved immediately onto that racist senator from Oklahoma. Then to Oprah's deflection of the rumor that there's a campaign to convince her to run for president. She says to Larry King (on tape) that she would say to those people to put their energy behind Barak Obama.

Is Hillary the front runner? Affirmative consensus. Who's the GOP front runner? Blitzer says McCain and Giuliani. He says Rudy would do well in the general election, but how would he do in the primary? (As a New Yorker, I feel it is my duty to blow the lid off that condescending asshole, RG. He treated New Yorkers like they were two-year-olds and felt the need to corral and discipline us. It was awful. Then, he got lucky. 9/11 squeaked in just before he left office. And THAT is what he'll be remembered for. The SPIN that he "handled that crisis very well" and should be considered a national hero? Are you kidding me. The man is Hitlerish (forgive me). But a colleague pointed out the parallels when Giuliani had the "undesirables" (read homeless people) rounded up and shipped out of the city. He "cleaned up" the city. Ick. Dick.

Larry King ends with the late night comics on Foley. David Letterman, for example, says that Foley has said that when he gets out of rehab, he wants to make a fresh start, you know, turn over a new page...
