This is from google and evidently only free the day after the Charlie Rose show, otherwise cost is 99 cents. Senator Feingold is on from minute 3:27 until 37:30. Excellent interview. Well worth listening to.

1. Thankyou!
This was preempted in my area for the fund drive. :mad:

Great interview, reasoned and intelligent. It bugs me though, that people in the Philly/South Jersey area where I live won't get exposed to him via this show.

3. amazing, informative interview
I like how he always gets the word "impeachment" in a dozen times, all the while insisting it is too radical.

Smart man.

I noticed that, too. You get the feeling he's about five steps ahead of the Repubs - when Rose was asking him what he thought about the view (from conservatives :eyes:) that censure is a "gift", the look on his face was interesting. He's not buying it. And neither am I. It's only true if you believe it's true. It's a mental game which he's playing very well.

6. That was really disappointing.
Sorry, but I find that he's just too moderate for me. Iran? Possible attack on Iran? Whaaat? Come on, Feingold. Am I missing something here? Pakistan, North Korea? Nonimminent threat? Shit!

7. I liked much of what he said, especially about Democrats and the
reason they don't just say "we were wrong to vote for war." He gives a very thoughtful response.

9. Terrific interview
His point about the Democratic Party standing for the rule of law is brilliant. The responsibility - the "sacred responsibility" - of Congress to return the Executive to the rule of law. I also found his discussion of Hillary Clinton very interesting. He's such an honest guy and didn't hesitate to say she is ready to be president. Some very difficult stuff about the Middle East, yet he didn't evade these difficult points. A straight-talking Dem. Except for the disagreement on timelines for troop withdrawal, it could have been Wesley Clark speaking.
