Mike Wallace's exclusive interview with the Iranian president is going to receive a couple of major showcases in coming days.
On Sunday's "60 Minutes," the chat will take up the program's first two segments. Wallace, left, conducted the interview this week with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, right, in Tehran. The CBS newsmagazine airs at 7 p.m. Sunday on WKMG-Channel 6.
C-SPAN announced Friday that it will replay the "60 Minutes" segment at 8 p.m. Monday. Then C-SPAN will present Wallace's whole 90-minute interview with the Iranian leader. Afterward, C-SPAN will asks viewers to supply their reactions in an open-phone segment. According to a C-SPAN release, CBS News said that the Iranian asked for the interview to be played in its entirety on the cable channel.

Mike Wallace has to qualify for idiot of the week. In the middle of renewed terror threats and as citizens in the cross-Atlantic alliance of London and Washington contemplate a new 9-11 tragedy, Mike Wallace descends from on high to enlighten the world about the likeability and reasonability of President Ahmadinejad.

Like the arrogant northeastern liberal that he is, Wallace has come out of the interview testifying to the decency and intrigue of the levelheaded President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Wallace was interviewed on CNN this afternoon and repeatedly called the Iranian President, “Fascinating, self-assured,” and that, “he is not a madman.” Wallace also asserted that Ahmadinejad is not Anti-Jewish, but that he is simply anti-Zionist state. Mike Wallace demonstrated an abiding respect for Ahmandinejad, and appears to be on a one person campaign to get Americans to like the Iranian President.

Below is a partial transcript of the some of Mike Wallace’s statements about the interview.

MW: I am with you 100% in what I perceived to be the individual that I was about to sit down and talk to. And he made his case, fairly rationally. It wasn't...it was a conversation. He did not propagandize and so forth. He...when I began to talk to him about America, about the United States, and oppression, he had his facts down solid about why he feels sorry, he says, for President Bush. Why? And then he starts in about the polls of President Bush, and how they're going down, and how he's going to leave office, and it's sad that he's going to leave office and leave behind a people who don't really approve of him. His approval ratings are what they are. And what is the standing of the United States in the world generally under President Bush. And it's...we weren't having an argument. I mean, we were having a discussion. And he was infinitely more rational than I had expected him to be.

As the liberal forge ahead with their Treason, serious issues in the war on Islamic Fascists threaten our nation. There are real issues ahead for the American people. Playing with dictators and using them to bash President Bush is doing nothing to further the cause of freedom. It might be good, however, for the majority of our citizens to see Mike Wallace facilitate the rehabilitation of a dictator.

Anyone for a quick trip to Iran before the summer ends?
