IRAN, we're already pre-emptive striking you!
Today the Maddster is hosting The Race for the White House on MSNBC in hour 1 so listen to her man the helm over there. At the top of hour 2, she's joined by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and investigative reporter for the New Yorker, Mr. Seymour Hersh, who has, yet again, blown the lid further off the Bush Administration's dastardly ambitions for Iran. Pre-emptive strike anyone? As if we haven't had enough of those.
In hour 3, Air America's Senior Political Correspondent, and host of "Politically Direct with David Bender," ... yep, that would be David Bender ... joins us live to discuss the whole "Unity," New Hampshire to "Independence," Missouri, tour of our presumed nominee for the Democratic Party, Barack Obama with a little bit of "very good" and "terrific" word parsing to do...
It's gonna be a goot one!
Too bad Rachel played edited version of Clark's comments
General Clark was replying to a direct question about whether McCain's direct war experience made him more qualified to be president:

SCHIEFFER: I have to say, Barack Obama has not had any of those experiences either, nor has he ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down. I mean --
CLARK: Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.

It was Bob Shieffer who mentioned riding in a "fighter plane" and getting "shot down," yet by the edited version it appears as if Clark just throws that out.
BIG difference, IMHO. And if not, why edit the audio?
Rachel, why did you use the Fox edit without mentioning the context?
