"But king of idiocy goes to peter jennings who (eaming with pride) said that Richard Engel was a real asset to have reportiong from Iraq because he spoke arabic and, after all, not many people speak arabic...if you missed that gem, I shit you not."
I missed that. But I was up late last night watching Jennings, and I didn't think he was all that bad. Recall that during the last War, Jennings was the only Big 3 anchor to meet with media protesters. And he was the only anchor who did a sympathetic piece about the antiwar movement. This of course led to cries of "pro-Saddam bias" from the Bozell/Irvine crowd, who were kind enough to remind us that Jennings' first wife was Lebanese, and, well, you know what that means . . .
