Mike Wallace Disgraces Himself Again

Well, given today's events, here's something that's exquisitely distasteful: an 88 year old "respected " journalist disgracing himself in public by suckling up to the world's next Hitler. Power Line has the gory details via a preview:

Of Ahmadinejad, Wallace said, "He's an impressive fellow, this guy. He really is. He's obviously smart as hell."

Oh, indeed. Say, and so was Adolf, don't ya know? Power Line further elucidates (italics are from the preview):

This is reminiscent of the way journalists and others would react after meeting Hitler. He wasn't a raving lunatic, like I expected! He was calm! Rational! Even Charming! (I wonder whether Ahmadinejad is a vegetarian.) What did Wallace expect? That a village idiot somehow ended up running a nation of 68 million?

Then there's this:

"He's actually, in a strange way, he's a rather attractive man, very smart, savvy, self-assured, good looking in a strange way," Wallace said. "He's very, very short but he's comfortable in his own skin."

What is this, a Tiger Beat interview? Just once, I wish MSM reporters would adopt the same adversarial attitude toward foreign leaders who are deadly enemies of the United States that they take toward members of the Bush
administration.

Wonker again. Indeed. Bash Bush and suck up to mass murderers. That's the lunatic left and their fellow travelers in the MSM these days. 9/11 has taught them nothing. It is now clear that they are unteachable and also have no shame.
