Interview with Mort Kondracke
If you’ve watched Special Report with Brit Hume on FoxNews, seen him with Fred Barnes on Fox’s Beltway Boys, or read him at Roll Call, you know who Mort Kondracke is 🙂 I’m a big fan who always enjoys listening to his takes on politics, and so is blogger Real Ugly American, who recently interviewed Mort.

Joe Biden – the romantic
When asked recently about whether or not he would make a go of running for president in ’08, here’s what Senator Biden had to say:
Keller: “…not all of them urged us not to publish”
In the continuing firestorm over the decision of the NYT to publish the bank transaction monitoring story comes this important tidbit of information, from Allah at Hot Air: In an interview the NYT’s Bill Keller gave to CNN, he pointed out that three people outside of the administration (who were, incidentally, Democrats – Correction: Tom Kean is a Republican – a commenter whose comment I accidentally deleted pointed that out) were asked to call the NYT about the story prior to its being published to urge them not to publish. Two people of the three did exactly that: urging the NYT not to publish were 9-11 Commission co-chairs Governor Tom Kean and Congressman Lee Hamilton.
