The Briefing - 12/20/04

After winning re-election the President was chosen for "reshaping the rules of politics to fit his 10 gallon-hat leadership style."

While the CBS investigation into Rathergate continues to hid or refuse to release its report, another name has been added to the list of potential replacements for Dan Rather. According to Broadcasting & Cable magazine, Katie Couric, the Today show diva, has been added to the list. CBS is hoping to capture a news superstar for the empty anchor chair. Unfortunately, CBS, Couric is not the choice you should be looking at. If you though Rather's bias was a problem, just watch Couric interview non-liberals. She would be the wrong choice at the worn (perhaps any) time.

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has been the subject of political bickering among Republicans and Democrats. Many are calling for his removal from the cabinet post. If you look at the list of the loudest critics, Biden, Hagel, Lugar, Byah, and McCain, you realize the motivation. Each Senator is running or potentially run for the Presidency in 2008.

The President who is Rumsfeld's boss and will determine his tenure is pleased with his job performance.
