"newsweek" also reports that rice was increasingly pessimistic by 2006 about the war in iraq. thought the pentagon was not coming up with any convincing solutions. she writes, "i was skeptical until the day bob gates became the secretary of defense." in other words, she lost all confidence in don rumsfeld, the secretary of defense. that's condoleezza rice's new book coming out this week. kevin madden, let's get back to campaign trail. your old boss, mitt romney-- you were his press secretary in the last campaign, advising him during this campaign. he continues to be up toward the top of the polls, but he does not seem to generate any excitement. every time a new flavor comes along-- first it was michele bachmann and then it was rick perry. they shoot up and then they go down. he stays in there about 25%. is someone who does not excite the republican electorate going to be able to win in the general election? >> we have to look at public opinion. it's not an event, it's a process. because we have a lot of choices here before the voters, the polls are going to go up and down. we

from the upcoming issue of "newsweek".ording to "newsweek" as national security advisor condoleezza rice had been concerned from the beginning about the lack of pentagon planning for a post war iraq. that is prior to the invasion in 2003. her attempts, she writes, always led to a rather dismissive handling of the question. she says when i finally arranged a briefing on the issue before the president in early february, 2002, he started the meeting in a way that completely destroyed any chance of getting an answer. quote, she says, he says, "this is something condi has wanted to talk about." i could immediately see, she says, that the generals no longer thought it to be a serious question. after that meeting she says her deputy stephen hadley commented that he would have resigned after that comment by the president and that the importance of the issue was revealed in the days after the war, she says, i've wondered if steve had been right that she should have then resigned. john, we know it was not all love and kisses behind

she got angry at newsweek she called it sexist i guess it's not sexist but roger ailes well newsweek's part of the lame stream media ok well i mean she had a lot on her mind today to be fair she had this whole announcement that she was gearing up for on the facebook. she's not ready she had already increased crazier and i answered a lot of. longer well ok so we were just speaking about women having to be attractive obviously if you want to be on t.v. but tipper listen to what rush limbaugh was going off on because of course there's been a lot of speculation as to chris christie that to run for president and rush limbaugh had a few comments on that. the truth and the fact of the matter is that female politicians get a pass on every aspect of their appearance. they get it you would never have stories about how some people total titian's facts like there are stories about christie being fake you wouldn't have those stories which was to use a story of danny frank being flipped you don't have a view all these stories of being fat doing it are the players. we have the energy and we have the.

newsweek broke the story on this nontraditional method by bypassing sperm banks.are saving hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars in insem nation costs. people may have a more difficult time adopting, be it same-sex couples and it's raising all sorts of ethical and red flags. let me begin with this. how exactly without too many details does this work for wishful parents? is it simple as googling free sperm? >> you register with a donor and screen them yourself, meet with them, get std tests back from them, and then you have a rendezvous for the exchange of a specimen, for lack of a better term. and that could happen in a starbucks bathroom, happen in your home, in your car. the donor essentially hand over a cup of himself and you use the old turkey baster method or there are some variations on that to self-inseminate. >> how often is this really happening? >> it's a growing, growing community. because there are scandals in the traditional sperm bank industry driving people to this alternative market. you may have heard or read recently traditional sperm banks t

you can read his article in the current issue of "newsweek." good day to you.ica. >> let's highlight three examples you've uncovered in your "newsweek" article starting with eric cantor and funding for high speed rail in virginia. >> right. right after president obama took office, eric cant tor, majority leader in the house, went on national tv and derided a high speed rail project in california linking california to nevada and las vegas. that was partisan pork. pork barrel spending. a few months later we found that he requested funding from the department of transportation for a certain -- a different high-speed rail project in virginia. very much his state. two different projects, his staff say. since he has realized the country can't afford either. opposing one and supporting another is very much the theme we found with a lot of these tea party members. >> right. florida congressman allen west was elected in a tea party wave of 2010. he hasn't been shy about asking for federal money as well, right, to help his districts? >> he's been in office about ten mont

never as much time at newsweek in the early days. we come to new york and have lunch and he was more accessible and google came out with a new product that he would tell you about it when you call on an issue. in later years they were tougher guests. >> they are busier i am sure. >> i run into them all the time that the googleplex. >> is funny that he said that to you. a couple years you were there a lot and they gave you access to all kinds of people. you didn't feel they were guarding access. the things you talk about they feel like you are really talking about things in a very factual way. >> hi had access to a number of projects that were not public. during a trip one thing they did was went to every office and would explain to the engineers here's what we're up to whether it was ben galore or tokyo, here is what we are doing here. one of the things the engineers talked about was a product called chrome that they were working on. that was a year away. they knew they could trust me to keep my mouth shut and not announce products.

before joining newsweek in 1988 he served as a legislative assistant on the staff of senator william coxmeyer and senator edward marky. douglas waller is not a defense panelist for bloomberg's governance. among his many, many books a number of them bestsellers, are the commandos, the inside story of america's secrets shoulders, error warriors, the inside story of the making of a navy pilot to, and big red, the three month voyage of a trident nuclear submarine. douglas waller's new book is a biography of an outside american character, general william wild bill donovan, founder and director of the office senior services, precursor of the modern cia. in this super biography, at once a cliffhanger and the work of the scholarship, douglas waller tells the story of a man who built a far flung intelligence organization out of absolutely nothing in the middle of one of the most brutal wars of our time. an ambitious young lawyer with political aspirations, william donovan had written to franklin roosevelt in 1942 and told him what the country really needed as it hunkered down for war was a go

he was on the cover of "newsweek."ght that he was going to run away with everything. but now, after a few debates, he's down to third place, behind mitt romney and herman cain. i think it's all really getting to him. take a look at this. >> hello. i'm rick perry. and as a former front-runner, i have one question for our great, great country. how did i screw this up? no, no, seriously? y'all used to love me, now i'm polling behind mitt and -- and the pizza guy? what, what happened? i'm asking you, what, what do i need to do to make y'all like me again? i'll get better in the debates. i'll smile more. i'll like the things y'all like. i'll like, uh -- rihanna. i'll go see "puss in boots 3d." i'll wear the glasses. am i supposed to say "don't mess with texas"? or mess with it -- whatever you want. whatever y'all want. you can mess or not mess. texas gets messed up and get messed, messed. i don't care, i need y'all back. i'll go on "dr. oz" and get a prostate exam.

. >> i was reading "newsweek" the other day.y had a correction column that was about two columns long. they should have said, you know what? throw out last week's issue. ask the weather guy, yesterday, we got many e-mails from folks saying that the answer was incorrect. we asked an expert so we are going to deal with the e-mails yesterday about the gas games. >> if it the first you don't succeed, do it again until you get it right. >> did you see how he deflected the i was wrong on to the good hardworking people at "newsweek" saying they were also wrong. >> i was going to ask them how those words taste combing out of their mouth. >> i pride myself on being one of the few weather men would will admit when he was wrong and will occasionally apologize about it. >> i like you for that. i do. >> okay. >> you got nothing to say on your behalf? >> no, you see when air right, you're never wrong. that is -- i'm going to leave it at that. new york avenue, that is where we have lanes open coming from northwest to northeast. pennsylvania av

. >> now, that was newsweek. newsweek had me as a dr. seuss figure.rt what have has happened with the debates is that people are seeing me as i am. i am different from the news media version -- maybe the caricature. >> so i think that helps me. >> sean: let me ask you this, is the scprz fall of a lot of candidates, is it becoming romney versus maybe the tea party? because it seems like mitt romney still has to strug toll explain over and over again and it came up last night, romneycare. do you think that is where the divide is? he is 20-25% rollly at the polls. >> i think mitt is a very competent hearing and a very talented guy. he's been working on this for 6 years. he certainly has a base, it's a big base by any reasonable standard he is probably the frontrunner and can raise more money. the challenge is simple. the reason i think he has a hard time getting above 24-25%. this is a party which decided starting in 1964 with goldwater and repeating it in 1980 with reagan, we are a conservative party. we want to change washington very dramatically. i th

newsweek magazine describes the devastating measure of how far he had fallen. in november they said when he was conjuring up the light at the end of the tunnel he was affectionately called westy but by last week he was general westmoreland in most official and unofficial briefings. the tech resurgence of enforces led many to conclude that in his optimistic forecasts of the previous year westmoreland had either not known what he was talking about or had not leveled with the american people. it is hard to know which is the more devastating criticism. what was clear was that with his approach to conduct of the war westmoreland had squandered four years of support for the war by much of the american people, the congress and even the media. for the next four years westmoreland served as army chief of staff. the army of that day was struggling with many problems. some the result of the ongoing war in viet nam and others more societal in origin. these included widespread drug abuse, racial disharmony, budgetary shortfalls and the necessity to prepare for the end of th

. >>> dan stone is the white house correspondent for newsweek and joins me to talk about herman cain. cain is the second in the latest of the early primary state. every national poll that we talk about, we see him on top. should he not be focusing on a larger footprint in iowa, larger footprint in new hampshire and as he talks about, do you think that the campaign contributions are growing. do you think he'll have the finances to do that? >> those are the states that he's going to need to compete in, iowa, new hampshire. those are the first primaries. his strategy at this point seems to be fundraising like you were talking about with andrew previously. to go to areas where there are people willing to write big checks. that will get him media visibility and he can take his message to the airwaves without going there himself. of course, he needs to win a primary somewhere to win the nomination. he has to start looking toward the traditional balance will grounds. >>> dan, mark block, the cain campaign manager became app overnight sensation with the cigarette smoking ad earlier this week.

time" magazine three weeks ago reported as a cover story how the constitution is under siege, and "newsweek" about two months ago had a cover story about the failure of americans to understand our government. some very scary statistics. two out of every three graduating high-school students today believe that the three branches of government are republican, democrat, and independent. that is an actual poll. 75% of all americans don't know that religious freedom is protected by the first amendment. 75%. more americans can name the judges on "american idol" than on the supreme court of the united states. what does this mean to us? how did we get here? well, first of all, unless the next generation understands the obligations imposed by the constitution, we are going to have a serious, serious problem. my children can always tell me about their rights, but very rarely tell me about their responsibilities. those responsibilities are critical to our future as a country. the fact of the matter is, if we do not understand the constitution, if our children do not understand the constitution, and ap

smoking gun is an interesting phrase six years after the attacks on new york city in the pentagon the newsweek poll showed forty one percent of americans saddam hussein was directly terrorist attacks i don't think we ever know i didn't say that there was a direct connection between september eleventh and saddam was serving nobody's ever suggested that the attacks of september the eleventh were ordered by iraq no wonder the news media has lost the public trust they want to make policy choices based on truth and what i heard is that people didn't really quite feel that the mainstream media in the media as we most of us experience. was truth telling the group fairness and accuracy in reporting did a. study. two weeks around february fifth two thousand and three right before the invasion before major nightly newscasts n.b.c. a.b.c. c.b.s. and the p.b.s. news hour with jim lehrer there were three hundred ninety three interviews done around the war only three were with antiwar leaders three of almost four hundred when half the population was supposed to be invasion that is no longer in the mainstrea
