Zinni v McCain on Meet The Press: Truth v Transparent Cynical Political Contortion

Brian Zick

Russert interviewd John McCain and General Tony Zinni this morning on Meet The Press watch the show McCain got interviewed first, contorted himself dizzy like a combination carnival sideshow rubber man/whirling dervish, pandering to the rubes. Zinni followed, and seriously blasted the Bush administration's Iraq "policy," including saying that Rumsfeld should resign. Unexpectedly useful example of "compare and contrast." update: alert: when at the MSNBC site to watch the video, click on "NBC Meet the Press Netcast" or a commercial will start playing
