Bob Schieffer’s first instinct was to make like a T-ball coach and give everyone a medal. But the avuncular Face The Nation host ultimately scored Dick Cheney the winner over PBO in yesterday’s dueling national security speeches.
Schieffer made his admission on this morning’s Early Show.
HARRY SMITH: This was a debate in every possible way, except [...]
Imagine you’re a network news anchor interviewing Janet Napolitano today. What would be the #1 issue you’d want to ask her about? Of course it would be the report Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security recently put out suggesting that “right-wing” groups pose a potential terrorist threat, and singling out returning military veterans as posing a [...]

Was Harry Smith trying to cover for Pres. Obama? Or was he simply expressing astonishment at the bone-headedness of the contemplated move? In any case, the Early Show anchor left no doubt that the notion of appointing Caroline Kennedy as US ambassador to the Vatican was a non-starter non-pareil. Chatting this morning with Bill O’Reilly, [...]
How sleazy and rock-bottom was Maggie Rodriguez’s interview of Levi Johnston and his family, aired on The Early Show this morning? At one point Rodriguez asked Levi’s sister whether she thought the Palins were “snobby.”
Consider that. CBS thought it was good journalism to seek and air the opinion of the sister of the former [...]
Imagine you’re a member of the MSM wanting to minimize the, uh, fallout for Pres. Obama from the North Korean missile launch made in defiance of his explicit warnings. What better way than to trivialize the event’s significance? That’s exactly what happened on today’s Early Show, as Harry Smith suggested the launch was nothing but [...]

If Maggie Rodriguez [file photo] had been aboard the Titanic and an officer had started screaming at the captain that the ship was headed for an iceberg and the Captain had to dramatically change course, Maggie would presumably have admonished him: “what good does it to to point that out? Why don’t you see if [...]
Imagine that a Republican senator had inserted a legislative loophole permitting the AIG bonuses to be paid. And lied about having done so. Now imagine the morning news show coverage. Working title: “Resignation Watch for Lying Republican Senator.”

Really, what is up with Barney Frank? A few days ago, I noted what a sourpuss performance he put in on Fox News Sunday. The Massachusetts Dem was back at it this morning, first correcting, then snapping at his Early Show host, Maggie Rodriguez.
The topic was, of course, the AIG bonuses, and Barney was firmly [...]
Just in case the SNL skit wasn’t sufficient to send Tim Geithner the message, today’s Early Show has provided another harsh dose of reality for the Secretary of the Treasury. Grading his performance, an economics prof has said that if Geithner were his grad student, he’d tell him to quit and register in pastry chef [...]

Yes, Bill Plante did acknowledge that the stem cell issue has “deep moral and political implications.” And yes, we did hear from a representative of the Family Research Council speaking in opposition to Pres. Obama’s decision to lift the Bush-era ban on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
But that said, was it right for [...]
