-♻RetweetDaily Kos: Terrified of Scott Pelley

The Kos Kidz watched Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s interview on 60 Minutes with Scott Pelley, and they’re absolutely petrified with fear.
Of Scott Pelley.
Daily Kos: Is Anyone Watching 60 Minutes, Re: Iran? (UPDATE w/links).
I am sitting here absolutely stunned after watching the 60 Minutes interview with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Reporter Scott Pelley was unbelievably scary in asking the questions he asked.
At the moment, I’m at a loss for words, but if you watched it, and were as stunned as I was, please let me know. I need a sanity check.
I’m going to have to wait for a transcript, but here’s what immediately scared me:
* Pelley’s “questions” (allegedly from George Bush)
* Pelley’s declarations that the U.S. had “proof of Iran firing missiles at Americans in Iraq”
* Pelley’s assertations that “Iran is providing material support to Iraq insurgents. We have proof. What do you say?” ... or something like that. Very close.It was a masterful Goebel-esque performance by 60 Minutes on behalf of Dick Cheney.
I’m telling you, it was scary beyond belief.
UPDATE at 9/23/07 5:22:12 pm:
This bone-chilling episode of 60 Minutes is posted online at CBS.com: Ahmadinejad: Iran Not Walking Towards War, Iranian Leader Tells Scott Pelley His Country Does Not Need Nuclear Weapons.
Ahmadinejad hits all the left-wing talking points very nicely. Even gets in a mention of Katrina.
“I think Mr. Bush, if he wants his party to win the next election, there are cheaper ways to go about this. I can very well give him a few ideas so that the people vote for him. He should respect the American people. They should not bug the telephone conversations of their citizens,” the president said. “They should not kill the sons and daughters of the American nation. They should not squander the taxpayers’ money and give them to weapons companies. And also help the people, the victims of Katrina. People will vote for them if they do these things. What I’m saying, I am being very sincere here. I’m a Muslim. I cannot tell a lie.”
