Fareed Zakaria was on The Daily Show tonight.
I love Fareed. He's the only reason I subscribe to Newsweek. He's nonpartisan & very, very intelligent & knowledgeable about foreign affairs. :) Too bad noone in the current administration has this kind of insight. :(

2. I agree.
His articles in Newsweek are the reason I subscribe as well. Not entirely true, I love Ann Quinlan as well.

5. He made a dangerous and untrue statement
said that BOTH Bush and Kerry were thinking of training Iraqi nationals as an "exit strategy"--where did he get the idea that Kerry and Bush are on the same page???

6. Anybody see the Kerry bashing Jon was doing?
OUTRAGEOUS!

And that Helms guy at the debate? He said that Lockhart and that other Kerry wonk were lying! The Daily Show is either with us, or for Bush!

8. Great!
I turned to my partner and said, "why doesn't the campaign hire him? He could explain to the dumbest Rethug what was REALLY happening in Iraq!"

9. I know Fareed and his brother Mansoor very well...they are both incredibly
...smart people and very knowledgable....Their father was in the Indian Parliament and had a very prominent position in Ghandi's administration (I forget what role, but it was high cabinet level)...they are both very highly educated and also, surprise, Muslim!!

:hi:
