The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Tonight a very special exclusive interview with former Washington Post
executive editor Ben Bradlee, the guy who led The Post during the Watergate
years and oversaw "Woodstein's" investigation...He was the only other guy who
knew Deep Throat's identity through all these years...We'll take a trip down
memory lane with him and relive the whole sordid affair, ask him what it was
like to be at the center of the storm and get his take on Pat's "stenographer"
comments...
BTW, Pat's positively "en fuego" today and e-mailed me his latest column this
morning http://www.townhall.com/columnists/patbuchanan/pb20050603.shtml
We'll do Ben for half the show, goodnight him and then bring in Washington Post
columnist Richard Cohen and Time mag's Karen Tumulty for reax and more
Watergate slicin' and dicin'...
We finish up with a great historian you've come to know and love on MSNBC
Douglas Brinkley and his new book, "The Boys of Pointe du Hoc : Ronald Reagan,
D-Day, and the U.S. Army 2nd Ranger Battalion"...You know that's gonna be cool
And for those who missed our Deep Throat special we aired at 9 pm on Tuesday
night, you can catch a special encore presentation Sunday night at 8 pm
ET...Yes, that's the one with the Redford exclusive..
And it's here! Hardball's 8th Anniversary...You've been counting down the days
and marking your calenders, I'm sure...All next week we celebrate...Hardball's
biggest and brightest stars will shine...We've got some big names lined up to
chat with as Chris has been telling you all week like Condi Rice and Darrell
Hammond...We kick it off on Monday, however, with 14 of the hottest players in
Washington...I won't give you their names but I'll give you a hint: they occupy
the vital center in American politics and they put the brakes on an impending
nuclear war recently...
Fire up the TIVO baby!
