If Krakhaur is against him, I am for him. Krakhaur's hatchet job on the LDS church is an example.

60 minutes lost its credibility over its faked story on Bush.

I saw the story and don't know what the truth is on it. BUT.....I always take a very large grain of salt with anything I hear on 60 Minutes. They have been caught in the past on a number of occassions. And...they are very biased.

He's a smart man. I wouldn't give 60-Minutes an interview no matter what... I don't care HOW innocent or HOW guilty you are.

60-Minutes will ALWAYS find a way to make you LOOK guilty. It's their JOB... and their good at it. Have you More..
