Bob Costas asked President Bush about PHEVS
Bob Costas is an idiot. 1 of 2 things occurred. 1. He thought NBC told him to be a Political Journalist when they really said don't pretend to be a Political Journalist.
2. He got an F in the one political science course he took in College and he wanted to prove to his professor that he could cover politics and sound smart.
WTF was this summers eve dork thinking? I can't stand the way this guy covers sports. Forget about listening to him ask questions that sound so ridiculous.
I don't understand how people like Bob Costas keep their jobs. Do their parents or grandparents have tremendous power that allow them to keep their jobs?
This interview was so out of place.
Read a small portion of the transcript below:
Costas: And winning 101- 70. Alright, our time here is limited but we will get to as much as we can, the Opening Ceremonies were glorious there is much to admire about China's people, China's culture, and its present accomplishments. But this remains an authoritarian state.
Bush: That's true.
Costas: With an abysmal human rights record. In the long run, is China's rise irreconcilable with America's interest?
I don't know if Bush's people planned this or Costas and NBC but the fact remains that you don't do this type of interview during the Olympics with a sportscaster.
