#1 Holy Cow! I can't believe this is going down very well at Rockefeller Center. I'm sure that fat worthless POS Nachman is out to get Arnot's ass right about now for not screaming 'VIETNAM!' in his piece. I just wonder how it got past the DNC censors. Don't they have editorial approval over any 'news' item, or am I thinking about CNN/CBS?

#2 Arnot's terrific, and an interesting specimen: medical doctor, pilot, Arabic-speaker, and now correspondent. For those who missed his live feeds with the USMC during the major combat phase, they were a real treat. The guy not only provides vastly superior straight reporting on the major issues he's covering -- in the middle of a live feed, he'd start asking locals in Arabic about medical or other problems, and help them out or vector in a Navy corpsman to do so. Reporter, doctor, interpreter, and diplomat in one. It's astounding -- and completely unsurprising -- that he's not very prominent in NBC's coverage. Instead, we get Andrea Mitchell's cartoon-ravings from DC, talking very stale inside State Dept. gossip and passing it off as insight. The contrast and the combined cluelessness and bias of editors and maangement couldn't be more clear.
