Why I won't miss Ted Koppel

I mean, apart from his being a spin doctor for the party line, fatuous, unfair, unbalanced and untrustworty...he said this:

I mean, the only difference between the Clinton administration and the Bush administration was 9/11...If 9/11 had happened on Bill Clinton's watch, he would have gone into Iraq.

What an idiot. No wonder he confused The Daily Show with real news. Which it's not...more's the pity.

"Hat tip" to PSoTD, who adds

This should be Exhibit A as to why the news media has to quit interviewing itself. Why? Because the news media is full of people that are full of themselves, and that bear very little responsibility in their real jobs for what they say. How could Ted Koppel presume to know what would have happened if Clinton was President during 9/11? Does he have any idea what a Republican Congress may have done to Clinton after such attack...Perhaps Koppel...would have invaded Iraq, perhaps [he] would have shown the same kind of diligence to detail that George W. Bush did, the same kind of interest in what the U.N was saying that Bush displayed, the same kind of diplomatic skills that Bush brought to bear.

Or in the immortal words of the Banana Junior 6000--"Ted Koppel is a waffle."
