my favorite interview

i think colin powells words on islamic americans are probably the most important spoken this election season, but this interview is probably my favorite so far...



personally, i think a really robust interview, or in this case - a hilariously slanted one - provides a unique opportunity to speak to some of the fringe ideas out there.  and biden was unflappable.

which makes me wonder ... is there really such a thing as an *unfair* interview? i mean the interviewee is not limited by how they choose to respond... they can either defend their position... which may require synopsis-ing your assumptions and positions in a 30 second "elevator pitch"... or they can sit there and complain about the question.

can anyone provide a link to a truly "unfair" interview?

Definitely an awesome video. I have always been pissed off at the way we, in America, let our politicians beat around bush and never actually answer a question. We have full debates, interviews and speeches where they essentially say nothing. I thought is was a step in the direction of ask real questions and then demand real answers. Of course Biden was kinda putting the smack down on her.

It also makes me mad how people keep painting Obama as a socialist - but the bailout is absolutely a socialist thing to do and McCain took a huge role in being a voice for it? Politics in America is stupid, frustrating and I can't wait for Tuesday to come and go, so we can move on.
