The morning shows landed really hard today on Iraqi prisoner abuse. ABC and NBC pounded Rumsfeld for apologies (and Diane Sawyer asked about resignation). CBS had Gen. Peter Pace. On her show, Laura Ingraham nailed the obvious question: “How about Matt and Katie apologize for that lame show they put on every day?”

ABC put on McCain. NBC had Joe Biden. Then after Rumsfeld appeared on NBC, they had Biden and McCain back in the 7:30 half-hour for more breast-beating. Lots of talk about outraged Arabs. Fine. Everyone in America should decry these American mistakes. Next question, Katie: since when are Arab nations the world’s leaders in prison decorum?

PS: Hey, what about a story about Vietnam vets mobilizing against the prospect of President Kerry? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
