Ha Ha! Newshound has a great summary of Dean and Hemmer on Fox.

I heard he was on yesterday, but too late to tape it. Haven't seen anything else. Saw this summary at Newshounds...a good one.

Thank God for Newshounds. I watched the other day when Hemmer had Howard on, and I could not have done it again.

12:45pm - Hemmer interviewed Howard Dean (Chair, DNC) & opened by asking whether "off-year elections tell us much?" Dean said not in NJ, but yes in CA & VA, where Bush took a "high risk" in campaigning for Kilgore. Hemmer interrupted to note that "Kilgore ran a bad campaign" to which Dean replied "pundits always say that" when someone loses. Dean started to talk about how VA is supposedly a conservative state, & Hemmer again interrupted with poll results & read a comment from Sen John McCain (R-AZ) about it being "foolishness" to think these elections tell us much. Dean said "Our data shows turnout went up because Bush went to VA."

So Hemmer switched to NY & asked "how do Democrats explain" Bloomberg, a GOP, winning there. Dean pointed out that Bloomberg "outspend his oppenent 10 to 1" but Hemmer suggested that New Yorkers were worried that a new mayor might be "lacking for leadership" in case of "terror attacks." Dean repeated that Bloomberg outspent his opponent & then, realizing that his 3 minutes were almost up, quickly said it was a "great day for Democrats ... a great first step ..." before the interview ended.
Comment: Dean did a good job. Hemmer, who from previous evidence on this program (not to mention his pre-Fox career) has decent interviewing skills, used a couple of Foxian tactics,interrupting & talking over Dean to get to the next talking point -- er, question. But Dean remained unflustered & didn't lost his train of thought. He was also clearly aware of the time element & wasn't caught off-guard at the end of the interview."

Thanks, Newshounds. You do a good service.
