Remember that he's a pro. Since Iran is run not by him, but by religious leaders, he's essentially the nation's press secretary.

I always wondered about the tie thing. I thought it was because Iranians were more relaxed about life.

I don't wear a tie because I don't like the feeling of it.

On topic: I don't like "hard hitting" journalists who try to appease their audience rather than asking questions that truly matter and deserve to be answered. If Brian Williams wants to be a giant douche during an interview with a world leader then he should be fired. I don't care what irrational or ignorant people think about him or Chavez, they are world leaders and should be treated with the respect their title dictates.

How about "Do something about those farking raccoon eyes" (on Williams). Seriously, it's distracting. Not that I watch a lot of network news, but whenever he's on, I can't pay attention to what he's saying, I'm so mesmerized by those white circles around his eye sockets.

Buy some freakin' sunblock with your millions in salary, Bri.

You can't be serious. World leaders moreso than any other persons need to earn respect. Chavez, Ahmadinejad, Bashir, Mugabe, etc. are disgusting human beings and deserve none.

Ahmadinejad is not really rational, nor are his religious backers. They've done a hell of a lot to hold back Iran's economic and social progress in the name of a religion. And I thought Bush was implied by "etc."

Tell him to do the exact opposite of what Scott Pelley did. That guy was a douchenozzle, and I'm surprised Ahmadinejad didn't walk out on his bull-baiting ass.

Rule #1: Don't talk about the interview.
Rule #2: Don't talk about the interview.
Rule #3: If Ahmadinejad says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the interview is over.
Rule #4: Only two guys to an interview.
Rule #5: One question at a time.
Rule #6: No women, no infidels.
Rule #7: Interviews will go on as long as they have to.

Attention Agwood18 and Fritopendejo

High School is calling and it wants its childish sense of self-importance and petty elitism back. So much to argue about and yet so little meaning behind any of it.

They might say it's because they find it to be a repugnant western fashion item, and the west sucks. Of course, they'll say that while wearing a crappy knock-off western business suit.

Brain Williams has an opportunity to make his future very bright, with strong, smart questioning he could replace a Tim Russet or other 'well' known jornalists would are no longer around. (Unfortuately I can't think of anyone else).

But........I doubt he will.
