Chris Wallace is rocketing to the front of the hack pack in television journalism. His bias and arrogance is thrusting him to new heights of disrepute.<\/p>\n

The latest embarrassment occurred during an interview with President Bush<\/a> for Fox News Sunday. In an exchange revolving around the Bush administration’s use of torture and wiretapping, Wallace sought to capsulize the question for the President.<\/p>\n

WALLACE: …are you ever puzzled by all of the concern in this country about protecting [the] rights of people who want to kill us?<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t know when I’ve ever heard a more obsequious inquiry from a supposedly professional reporter. The question is swathed in a fawning concern for whether the poor, put upon President is puzzled by treasonous civil libertarians in league with the enemy. <\/p>\n

For the record, Chris, we’re not concerned about “protecting the rights of people who want to kill us.”<\/em> We’re concerned about protecting the rights of Americans and the innocent who are harmed by the administration’s over-reaching. We’re concerned about preserving the Constitution.<\/p>\n

You know that you’ve sunk to pitiful depths when the stupendously idiotic premise of your question is rephrased more fairly by no less a fabulist than George W. Bush:<\/p>\n

BUSH: That is an interesting way to put it. I wouldn’t necessarily define some of the critics of my policy that way. I would say that they want to be very careful that we don’t overstep our bounds from protecting the civil liberties of Americans.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This concept is so simple that even George, the C-minus Yalie washout, is able to articulate it. But Wallace doesn’t exhibit the slightest awareness that his query is the sort of premium grade suck-up that demeans his profession. This is the same third-rate miscreant who sought to persuade Democrats to participate in Fox-sponsored debates by calling them “damned fools.”<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

His father must be so ashamed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
