Validity of accusations in Ron Suskind’s book “The Way of the World”

I just saw this Daily Show interview. Forgive me if this is old or repetative. Is there anything here besides someone trying to sell books?

Excuse me, what makes you think that the GWB administration does not have at least the potential to have done this. Time will tell.

Personally, I think the dude has a story.......

He does well on the "Air America" talk circuit.

I watched his InSannity and Colmbs show, and he failed...

He wouldn't answer InSannity's questions directly, nor would he appear honest.

I think his book is fairly true, but he needs VERY NEW SKILLZ at interviewing
on right wing shows...

Well, it would be illegal would it not. (I don't want to show David up so I didn't add a question mark either!)

Xbox: I wouldn't answer Hannity's questions directly or even indirectly, unless you call punishment an indirect answer.

Have you noticed that all these right-wing talking heads seem to have taken speaking classes from that Billy Mays guy who sells crap on late-night TV? They all sound like they are shouting at the top of their lungs even through the actual volume isn't that loud. I can't imagine being able to have a conversation with anyone like that.

Hmmm, okay, Plame was a covert operative was she not?

Appearance on Hannity's show is not punishment, more like an appearnce on the Krusty Show.
