Scathing and brilliant essay: Chris Wallace is no Mike Wallace.

Chris Wallace inherited the job of Fox News Sunday morning talk show from Tony Snow who now sings like a Canary for the Bush administration. Before that, Wallace was a reporter and sometimes news anchor for NBC and ABC. It is tough for me to remember even one memorable news story that he ever brought to the TV screen other than a distant memory of an investigative story that he once reported on about a car repair shop overcharging customers. Can there be any doubt that Wallace is indebted to the Fox News powers for rescuing him from the work pits of the oil and lube shops and bringing him a little fleeting fame on a third-rated Sunday morning cable TV program?

If the media were mature enough, instead of trying to overdramatize what, in earlier years, would have been just another presidential interview, they would be taking an honest look at the way they report and present the news to the American public and the world.

Who cares if Wallace was "surprised" by the former president's anger? THAT has become the story instead of the content of the answer that Bill Clinton was giving. From the number of interviews that Wallace has given since the Sunday interview telecast, it appears that he is using the moment in the spotlight to further his career. Can a book be next?

6. What is it about these underacheiving kids of famous fathers?

Chris Wallace, Tom Kean, George Allen and, of course, Shrubbolini himself.

What do they have in common? Famous fathers and a history of having done.... not much before being catapulted onto the public stage.

9. Lineage is becoming too important in the US...

I think being the son or daughter of some one successful might give you the connections, but almost guarentees one to failure.
