    Unhappy Mike Wallace RIP

    CBS news Mike Wallace passed away at 93. I enjoyed his interviews over the years, he was one of the best.
    [SIGPIC] 73

    Like Andy Rooney, CBS is losing their legends.

    Myron Leon "Mike" Wallace (May 9, 1918 – April 7, 2012)

    About the last guy you wanted to knock on your door for an interview if you were up to no good.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    I just told him to fuck off and leave me alone.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I merged the two threads on Mike Wallace's passing. They were started just minutes apart.
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    yeah, you don;t find ballplayers like Rooney around anymore. Must have been quite a drawing card when CBS aired baseball.

    Thanks. Must have both been composing them at the same time.

    Mike Wallace often held a pretty right wing slant. I recall one interview with a black civil rights activist in which he derided her. Wallace was a part of the right wing conservative news media.

    Actually it was when he interviewed the playwright, Lorraine Hansberry. Wallace tried as hard as he could to belittle and deride her. Wallace was a total bastard. But Hansberry knew how to handle him, quite calmly and with great dignity.
