Christiane Amanpour (Tanks?) in Debut at ABC's 'This Week'

Folks are wiggin' over Christian Amanpour's debut as host at "This Week." I've commented on this a couple of times now, in March when Amanpour was announced as the new anchor and over the weekend as well. I doubt she'll have problems. She's an experienced journalist and it's not like ABC News is hostile to lefties. She'd have to flop numerous times before she'd get the boot. It's too bad though, since Jake Tapper was totally cool in the seat. He seemed like a good fit and was clearly pegged into the happenings with new media, blogs, etc.

In any case, Eric Boehlert can scream until he's blue in the face. The JournoList scandal pulled back the curtains on our corrupt lefty press for good. What more could they ask for? (Well, net neutrality comes to mind, but we'll save that for later.)

That said, how'd the show go itself? I'll post Speaker Pelosi's clip here (more at ABC's home), where she indicates that she's ready to "turn out the lights" on the Afghan deployment, and is bummed out that the public's not there yet:

Remember, this is the face of today's Democratic Party, whose leaders would have given up on World War II in 1942. Disgraceful.
