Mike Pompeo interviewed by Chris Wallace

Pompeo sat down with Chris Wallace to talk about the recent stabbing in Paris by a Chechen national that killed one person and wounded others, and about North Korea promising to destroy their nuclear facility, and the promise Trump made of assisting if North Korea follows through with their promises of denuclearization. Pompeo made clear Trump's promise has to do with private sector investment flowing to North Korea naturally by way of the new situation allowing it and not any taxpayer funded investment. He spoke of infrastructure investment and agriculture investment. They continued to speak of many things, of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings, I'm guessing, because I realized right then that Chris Wallace gets on my nerves so badly that Pompeo cannot overcome him, so I stopped listening and drew Chris Wallace instead.

Video provided for serious-minded people with more patience for Chris Wallace than I have.

If you have trouble with Chris, you could never have stood his dad.

I didn't mind Mike Wallace. But I wasn't particularly aware. My problem with Chris Wallace is nepotism, journalism treated as a feudal guild. I dislike the closed environment. Maybe he's actually good. But is he necessarily better by birth than someone with the drive and ambition to work their way up from nothing? Chris started at the top because of his dad and that's just so wrong in a merit system. Let him start at the bottom like everyone else. Everyone else whose dad is not Mike Wallace.

I should join the Air Force and start at Lt. Col. using the Chris Wallace method of career advancement.

Yes, he had special privileges observing his dad in action, seeing historic notables traipsing in and out of the house, watching his dad on t.v. everyday, observing his dad researching, networking, doing interviews, running his business. But so what. He's still a turkey. A very privileged little turkey. I resent him.

He has an intriguing face. The way it all pushes in like Play Doh, creases amusingly with adorable lines like a doll made of cotton stuffed into lady's hosiery, with little button eyes and eyeglasses and prissy little grandma kissy lips.

Very good points, Chip.

You caught the lips, and the privilege comes through, how I don't know, but it does. Perhaps as the softness? My favorite is the last one (before the into 4x comes up) with one open eye and the other either closed or incomplete, which to my eye symbolizes something lacking, closed or incomplete about the man or his approach.

Open and closed eyes and ears were referred to by the Prophets and the Good Teacher in the both the old and new books of the collection known as the Bible.

It was all Chris Wallace and nothing but ChrisWallace until the breakthrough. I guess the breakthrough came with Limbaugh but for most people it had to wait till the birth of Fox. Up to then it was literally nothing but liberal talking heads talking to other liberal talking heads. Positively incestuous.

Is Pompeo the masculine singular of Pompeii?
