Why would an 88-year-old journalist come out of retirement to interview one of the world's greatest enemies? Maybe he thought someone else might have asked the wrong questions. "Do you beat your wife when she disobeys, as Muhammad instructs Muslims to do?" This profile from the Media Research Center explains a lot.
- Wallace proclaimed that if he were traveling with enemy soldiers he would not warn U.S. soldiers of an impending ambush
- Wallace was "astonished" wounded vets back the Iraq war.
- Wallace declared only a "[expletive] up" America could elect Bush.
- He insisted the liberal bias charge is "damn foolishness."
- He lent his name to a fundraiser for a pro-gun control group.
- He doubted Bush's "validity," and said Iraq was not a "good war."
- He mocked President's Bush's smarts and belief in freeing people from oppression as he demanded, "Who gave George Bush the duty to free people around the world?"
- And, Wallace voted for Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader

LR, thanks for sharing the links. Mr. Wallace is not an admirable journalist, but then he has battled severe depression and still urges other democrats to seek treatment for theirs. His demented opinions are personal and therefore excusable.
That he choses to express personal opinion in public forums is telling (subservient ethics) and honest (egomania). Even shallow reasoning ability and close-mindedness are forgivable at his advanced age.
Other than that, Mr. Wallace is a familiar personality whose passing will surely be mourned by Andy Rooney and CBS. "Why would an 88-year-old journalist come out of retirement to interview one of the world's greatest enemies?" To write his own epitaph.
