Mean Mike

Finally, the insufferable Mike Wallace has decided to hang it up. Excellent news.

I've never been a fan of Wallace's, but my distaste turned to loathing a few years back when, while serving as emcee of a dinner for the pro-gun control Brady Center (at the French embassy, natch), Wallace mocked Charlton Heston and actually made fun of the fact that the legendary actor and activist had developed Alzheimer's disease.

(Of course, the NRA protested this and received an assurance from CBS News that Mr. Wallace would from that point forward never be allowed to cover 2nd Amendment issues for the network again -- a promise it seems to have kept.)
