Big Bloviatin' Bill Bennett!

"I want the show to center on culture," Mr. Bennett said Friday. "I like politics, but I've also spent much time in my life emphasizing its impact on culture. I'm interested in the area where politics, policy, culture and education intersect. So when we go over daily headlines, we'll talk about Fallujah. But we'll also address Hollywood, leisure, music, SAT scores."

"I plan to take the high road," he said. "But it will never be tedious. We'll deliver a fast-paced, eye-opening morning show. We'll have an edge."

Mr. Bennett has also struck a civilized pose amid the querulous and often vengeful realm of talk radio, which has perhaps intensified with the debut of comedian Al Franken's much ballyhooed liberal talk show last week.

"My model of conversation is the Socratic dialogue. And that entails having a serious conversation with intelligence, candor and good will," he said.

"I will muster as much of those three elements as I can. I will tell the truth. Listeners may be surprised by who I bite on the show. And 'good will' means that we'll come to a conclusion together," he said.

Q: Mr. Secretary, we promised we’d let you go at 40. We overstayed our welcome a little. Thank you. We sleep better at night, knowing you’re there.
Rumsfeld: Thank you so much.
Q: Okay. Appreciate it.
Rumsfeld: Good-bye.
Q: Bye-bye.

I wonder if Rummy had this in mind...

Q: I’m going to put you on hold and probably within the next 20 seconds, you’ll be able to hear the “on-air” thing. They’re going to cut to you. And here we go, okay?



Rumsfeld: You bet.



Q: Thank you, sir.
