<> 6 pm HEADLINES

<> {around 6:20 pm} GUEST: WILLIAM RIVERS PITT




William Rivers Pitt is managing editor of Truthout.org. He also has just started writing a new blog called FYI at http://forum.truthout.org/blog.

Will is author of The Greatest Sedition is Silence - Four Years in America. He co-authored, with Scott Ritter, War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn’t Want You To Know.

His wide-ranging work has been called eloquent and prolific; his critics say he is too passionate, even inflammatory. We will speak with him live from Boston, and discuss the fake White House reporter "Jeff Gannon," as well as get an update on the aftermath of the challenge to the Ohio presidential election. And, we will look at the actual document in which Richard Clarke warned Condi Rice of al Qaeda five days after George W. Bush took office in 2001. http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/021305Y.shtml

I'm tuning in for sure, now. Didn't know you had a sense of humor (you were kidding, weren't you?).

[WilliamPitt]

6. Sleep with one eye open tonight

hear when you stub out a cig and light a new one.
good show.

23. Was great to hear you

Sir Dude.

Would like to hear you speak more.

2. For those in the ET zone, it's Will Pitt vs Jose Canseco ...

... on 60 Minutes.

I'm going with Will.

[sellitman]

3. That's not a choice

The only one who would have a shred of a chance up against Will might be Krugman , but he is always on with Al Franken anyhow. What I'd like to see is Will on with Ed Schultz! How about it Will?

[liberalnurse]

7. Me too.

One can always tape or DVR 60 minutes....and then there are always re-runs.....

I sent the link to friends too.

Just look for SUNDAY MONITOR -- February 13. It's there now.

Will was great. He must inhale news about 25 hours a day.

(Speaking of inhaling, I could hear him lighting another cigarette -- kids, do not emulate that behavior!)

[Scout1071]

Thanks for pointing it out.
