The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Sorry the Briefing is late today...Mortman and I had to get the new Giuliani book,
read it and put the questions together for an afternoon interview...And I thought
cramming for college exams was tough??!! Rudy kicks off the show with
"Leadership"...Part memoir, part management primer, the book explores important
leadership lessons he's learned over the years in public office as well as his
childhood growing up a Yankees fan...
Some of the lessons learned? "Stand up to bullies," "Weddings discretionary, funerals
mandatory" and "Bribe only those who will stay bribed."
Chris talks to Rudy about war with Iraq, standing up to bullies, being a Yankees fan,
John Gotti and the Soprano's...
More from on the book: "Leadership" Making choices at the right time and with the
right information to reflect decision-making on a larger scale

In the D block, we'll ask Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institute and Rabbi
Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center on whether and how
Israel should respond to an attack from Iraq...
In the Buzz, Laura Ingraham and Clarence Page take on the Torch and Iraq
politics....Looks like Pallone's the one who'll attempt to replace the Torch on the
ballot but a court fight still looms http://www.house.gov/pallone/
The Torch also took some shots at NBC's Lisa Meyers because of her Today show
piece...We'll show it to you...Sorry things are bit sparse today in The
Briefing...What can I say? Stuff happens...I'll have some more fun stuff
tomorow...Plus, The College Tour with John Kerry tomorrow...
