Cyn, thanks for the informative clips. I’m looking forward to seeing Christiane and Frank’s “The Next President”. I was surprised to see Cal back in Baghdad; I hope everything is alright with Michael Ware.
Also I hope your health is getting better, get some rest.
Kiran Chetry did a great interview with Tony Blair. CNN is allowing Kiran to do more big interviews, and that's a good thing. I've always been a Chetry fan, but lately I've become an even bigger one. Kiran's little smirk when the name "Palin" is brought up lets me know that she is another liberated female journalist who isn't buying into Palin's warped and backwards views. The pro-choice females in our media have a job to do, and that is to keep America from allowing this woman to get anywhere near a top position in gov't.
And Kiran, Good job!!
I'll have to be honest, when Kiran first hit the scene, I wasn't fond of her, but now I'm changing my mind. I think she holds her own with some heavy hitters.
