Ahmadinejad & Wallace: Blog Reviews

By Brian 

Here’s a sample, via Technorati:

> Real Clear Politics: “If the interview were a boxing match, the Iranian President won in a blow out.”

> Brianbtc: “I’ll say this for Wallace, he did his job in putting straightforward questions to the Islamofascist leader of one of the foremost terror-sponsoring nations. And what did Ahmadinejad do when it came to answering those direct questions? He danced.”

> American Jewish Committee statement: “Known as a tough interviewer, Wallace this time around proved inexplicably passive, perhaps hypnotized by his own unexpected fascination with the Iranian leader.”

> Digital Niqabi: “There were times, many times, when it appeared the Iranian President was almost laughing at the interviewer. Not good, wouldn’t you say?”

> accordingtoruth has a letter to Wallace: “You have done your country a grave disservice. You have portrayed a madman as a normal guy.”

> Fear & Loathing in Wisconsin: “Ahmadinejad predictably attempted to dodge the questions. However, Wallace refused the evasions as par for the course and persisted in his line of questioning, asking questions three and four times until he got some sort of answer from Ahmadinejad. Can you imagine a reporter having this sort of tact interviewing President Bush?”

> The Quistian Perspective: “Wallace was not overtly pro-American but he was even-handed and persistent. He probably did the best a person could without combatting the opportunity into what would end up being a one-point argument.”
