Reply #138: Assume it was George Stepawhatever's...

...show we're talking about. I saw it and basically, he just never answered the question directly. In fact, the problem is that there never really was much of a question. He, McCain, simply dodged it with a regurgitation of the process that bushco was going through at the time and, 'just didn't believe' that the intelligence was 'rigged' around the intent. George let him off the hook by not asking a direct question as follow-up to McCain's rambling response, to wit, 'so are you saying Senator that the memo is a lie, or that you just don't believe it? Because all the author was doing is reporting back to his superiors the gist of the sessions he have been a party to?...'. But no, they won't attempt to pin these guys down...unless they're democrats, of course.

The other thing he should have done is pull quotes from McCain's articulate attack on the religious right from his 2000 campaign that took Robertson and Falwell to task. Instead he allowed him to weasel around his previous public positions.
