Black suit, white shirt and red tie with a white pattern in it. Looked relaxed and glad to be on TV. He didn't say anything we haven't hear before, but Bill Hemmer was very respectful and what a difference in style to have an anchor come from CNN who can ask good questions without having to read the teleprompter. Later in the program, Congressman Hunter quoted something Wes had said about not pulling out of Iraq now and Hemmer also quoted something "the general" said. I think that's a good thing. Especially coming from Hunter. It's a sign that some of the really harder right members of congress see Wes as someone they can talk to. Wouldn't it be refreshing to have a president that people on both sides of the aisle think they can talk to and have listen to them?

I must say I am surprised to read that Bill Hemmer was respectful toward General Clark.  He has been known (during the 2004 campaign) to be less than polite in the past.  In fact, he's been a downright jerk on a couple of occasions that come to mind.

If you want to talk about uniting, not dividing.....then yes, Wes is your man.  I think he would be a fabulous leader for both sides of the aisle.

And btw.....thanks for presenting the haberdashery report!  You know how some of us are about that sort of thing......

to that when he was with CNN. He thought that he was the bees knees on CNN and seems to been brought down a peg or two and is more respectful on Fox. Be interesting to see whether it lasts.

Unfortunately, I did not see today's appearance by the General. When I switched onto Fox he had already been on, but it wasn't possible to know that he'd been on for about 20 mins. Hope someone caught it for us.

I'm at work and couldn't catch it....Thanks for the recap....

Was there another appearance today, folks?  No Perle here.

There was breaking news about Padilla's indictment that pushed the show back and Wes came on by himself and not for long.

Tonight on News Hour, Holbrooke was on talking about Bosnia. He talked about being with Wes when that vehicle went off the side of the road. He gave Wes credit for working on the various documents they created to manage Bosnia and do the Dayton Peace Accord.

Glad to hear that, LJM, as Holbrooke's m.o. hasn't been self-effacing, IMO..

was working to get Kerry elected and wanted to be SOS. That election is over and he feels friendly with Wes again on TV. From what he said in his book about Wes, they've been friends.
