#1 Isn't it about time Wallace was retired? Given that he's 86.

#2 Excuuuuuse me? Isn't Wallace the dickhead who said he would not betray a source who gave him a heads up about an impending attack on Americans because his first 'duty' is as a journalist? As far as Wallace is concerned, the only good war would be one the U.S. loses, as long as he gets the scoop. What a moral vapidity.

#4 Isn't the duty of a "journalist" to provide information and facts? A little honesty would be refreshing here. Instead of hiding behind the unbiased journalist label, have the decency to admit its all about YOUR causes. These guys are arrogant enough to think they actually have the "expertise" and "understanding" to solve the world's problems.

#5 Well, I guess GW will just have to suffer through minus the official "Mike Wallace Seal of Validity".

#6 I heard a few snippets of wallace's comments and he basically bobed from one platitude to another. But without a script to read I'm sure thats all he could do.

#7 I've questioned Wallace's validity for years.

When I think about him at all.

#8 Hold up. I just read that whole article before I realized that Wallace is supposed to be an "objective journalist".

How far you've fallen, old (and in your case, reeeeallllllly fucking OLD) media. Everyone knows what sort of political leanings the Objective Journalists have, and nobody is surprised when they lose their minds and spout off like blathering college co-eds with a political science "degree".

Mike Wallace is an asshat.

#9 Wallace was (is) one of those "classic journalists" - a sort of zero sum power gamer believing that only by bringing someone down (the higher / bigger the better) can they "move up" and being anything less than critical of anyone in power is treasonous.

#10 Who is breaking into these "Sixty Minutes" guys and stealing their anti-dementia meds. First Andy Rooney, and now, Mike Wallace. . .

Call the asylum. Two padded rooms needed. . .maybe more. . .

#11 Wallace, speaking at a Smithsonian Institution "National World War II Reunion" Friday, denounced the effort to oust dictator Saddam Hussein, saying, "This is not, in my estimation, a good war."

What war is a good war?? Some wars have to be fought, and some don't. But NO war is ever "good".

#12 Mike Wallace... oh yeah, he's the father of the Fox News Sunday host. 60 Minutes is little more than a book plugging show.

#13 "We knew what we were fighting for,"

WE must have found the *one* guy on the entire farking planet who hadn't heard of the World Trade Center being destroyed by terrorists supported by Saddam.....
