In what might be the most substantive and engaging episode of PoliTalk, Lt. Col. Joseph Alessi Ph.D., chair and professor of Military Science at the University of Pittsburgh, walks us through what is really going on in Afghanistan. To understand the current political decisions, you have to understand the complex history of this country, and to do that, you need to listen to Joe. The McCain campaign had “Joe the Plumber.” At PoliTalk, we have Joe the Scholar, who offers a fair, balanced view of the region and explains why if you don’t learn from history, you’re doomed to repeat it…and nowhere is that lesson more vital than Afghanistan. Always engaging and informative, it’s PoliTalk — your weekly political podcast.
The night after John McCain canceled his David Letterman appearance, Letterman is still fuming. This is classic Letterman and great humor.
Watching the McCain/Palin Campaign over the past few days is like watching a train wreck – you know it is gonna be ugly and a lot of people are gonna be hurt, but you can’t keep you eyes off of it…
David Letterman discusses his disappointment with John McCain on canceling his scheduled appearance yesterday. Letterman claims that McCain called him personally to cancel. McCain tells Letterman that he had to fly to Washington DC to deal with the financial crisis. Letterman then shows the live feed from CBS News. It shows McCain on the set with Katie Couric getting makeup put on before his interview.
What can I say? The video speaks for itself. – Glenn
