Mike Wallace - Insane, or Evil?

Mike Wallace - a ring around the CBS tub.

PITBULL JOURNALIST GOES SOFT ON IRANIAN MADMAN: 88-year-old CBS journalist says Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a 'reasonable' man on Sean Hannity's ABC radio program... Points out Ahmadinejad not anti-Jewish... just anti-Zionist state. Says many Jews in Iranian Parliament, in great positions in Iranian life... Believes Ahmadinejad sincere in his hope for peaceful coexistence between Iran and West... Troubled by comparisons of leader to Hitler... Marvels at Ahmadinejad's civil engineering degree, 'intellect', 'savvy'... Asks viewers not to bring 'prejudices' to Sunday night '60 MINUTES' broadcast... Proclaims 'discussion' was sincere and not for propaganda purposes... Developing... Matt Drudge "He's lost it. The man has lost it. What can I say," the younger Wallace lamented to WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr on Friday. "He's 87-years old and things have set in," the Fox anchor continued. "I mean, we're going to have a competence hearing pretty soon."  Son, Chris Wallace, December, 2005 Talk about your self-hating Jew. The temptation will be to write this off as the ravings of a demented man.  Even if is is, CBS is grossly irresponsible for allowing the public debate to be poisoned  by a village idiot.  But, I'm not buying it, that Wallace is nuts.  As soon as I saw the Drudge blurb, I remembered a Sunday night, nearly  a dozen years ago, when Wallace drove me nuts. More nuts than usual. His 60 Minutes segment was supposed to be an interview with Christopher Ruddy (now the owner of NewsMax), an actual bulldog reporter who was investigating 1163, or so, discrepancies in the official story surrounding Vince Foster's death. Think Dan Rather at his worst, and you'll have a sense for  the ambush Ruddy walked into. Here's the review I wrote that very night.- to satisfy myself since there was no place to ''post.'' back then.   Mike Wallace was in the tank then, and he still is.
