60 Minutes WEDNESDAY, Ben Barnes

[Flint-oid]

This according to Josh Marshall

Feel the buzz. Contrary to what I had originally understood, the Ben Barnes interview is running Wednesday evening. But, I'm told by several sources that the Barnes' interview is only a relatively small part of the package 60 Minutes is running. There's other stuff that CBS has -- newly discovered, or at least newly-revealed, documents that shed light on Bush's guard service or lack thereof.

1. Oh, 60 Minutes II

too bad it isn't going to be on Sunday on the original 60 Minutes.

5. If it were on Sunday, it might get lost. . .

in the first weekend of pro football games. Better to be on Wednesday, so it can't be hidden, and with still another couple of days before the weekend talk-fests, so they'll have to address it. I believe Richard Clarke first made his allegations on 60 Minutes 2.

6. The Abu Ghraib story ran on Wed. 60 Minutes - and took off

2. THIS Wednesday???

Ooooh.

[Dem2theMax]

3. Rubbing hands with gleeful anticipation.

Is that wrong of me? :evilgrin:

[speedoo]

4. Yes, yes.

The tide is turning. The coward may finally be exposed.

Bush/Cheney "giddiness" (reported earlier on CNN) is at best premature and at worst, fatal.

7. I hope the new info is a slam!

Damn, would that be great to see!

8. Bush could kick his dog on national tv....

and Republicans would still vote for him. But I'm glad Mr. Barnes will be on 60 Minutes and I plan on watching it.

9. Shrub could eat a live baby's LIVER

on national TV and they still worship him.

It doth just boggle the mind.

11. Hi Pluvious!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[jezebel]

10. And the media would all say "look how resolute he is" He didn't flip flop

He strongly kicked the dog. And then they would tie the dog into September 11.
