Petraeus Not 'Sure' of Afghan Victory
By Deborah Hastings - AOL News
(Dec. 6) -- Gen. David Petraeus, the top American commander in Afghanistan, said he doubts the Taliban will be defeated before NATO troops are withdrawn in 2014. "I don't think there are any sure things in this kind of endeavor, and I wouldn't be honest with you and with the viewers if I didn't convey that," Petraeus told ABC commentator George Stephanopoulos in an interview broadcast today on "Good Morning America." In his first public comments since the latest WikiLeaks publication of secret international documents, Petraeus also denied recent reports that he threatened to resign over ...
Donald Trump Says Presidential Run 'Could Be Fun'
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyHere we go again. Donald Trump, the billionaire New York real estate magnate and star of his own television reality show, says he is considering running for president as a Republican in 2012. Trump told ABC's "Good Morning America" he would make a decision about a possible race by June. In answer to a question from George Stephanopoulos about a White House candidacy, he said, "I am thinking about things. . . . It could be fun because I'd like to see some positive things happen for the country." Trump expressed interest in running in 1988 and again before the 2000 election, but each time ...
John Boehner Defends His Famous Tan
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyJohn Boehner, the perpetually caramel-complexioned leader of House Republicans, gamely defended his famous tan in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday morning. After a weighty discussion about economic policy and taxes, Stephanopoulos presented the GOP leader with the results of a recent PPP poll that showed 30 percent of Ohio voters believe Boehner "spends too much time on his tan," while 27 percent "don't like his tan." "Well, they probably didn't see me yesterday when I was out cutting my grass or riding my mountain bike, all right?" Boehner said with a smile. When the ...
A Reminder: Larry King Once Ruled Cable News
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(June 30) -- His ratings aren't what they used to be and many critics dismiss him as a dinosaur in the new-media age, but there's no denying Larry King's remarkable broadcasting legacy. He's been on the air so long that much of his audience might not remember when an appearance on King's program could -- and did -- change the course of American politics. King, 76, announced Tuesday night he'll soon leave the nightly CNN talk show he's hosted for a quarter of a century. When it began, "Larry King Live" offered a unique cable news platform for office-holders and office-seekers. Fox News and ...
Jacques Cousteau's Grandson Takes 'Nightmare' Dive Into Oil Spill
By Carl Franzen - Politics Daily(May 27) -- The Gulf oil spill's toll on the environment remains difficult to quantify at this time, but a new video of a journey into the dark heart of the spill taken by Philippe Cousteau Jr., grandson of legendary undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau, reveals a "nightmarish" scene. Cousteau was investigating whether Corexit, the environmentally-tenuous chemical dispersant that BP has been spraying into the Atlantic since the spill began is "breaking down the oil or if the byproduct they are forming is causing more damage to sea life." ABC Good Morning America reporter Sam Champion, who ...

Will George Stephanopoulos Go Better With My Omelet?
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyI was prepared to drop my evening news habit this month with the departure of Charlie Gibson on "World News." Gibson was part of my dinner-preparation time, a favorite domestic ritual when I'm home -- folksy and cozy, like a warm oven, glistening plates and long dinner conversations. The capable Diane Sawyer just doesn't inspire me as that kind of a dinner accompaniment. But that's me. Certainly the wise news execs at ABC know better. It's Sawyer's long-overdue reward for her hard, distinguished work. So what if it's my TV loss? I had accepted the fact that my evening news viewing would ...
George Stephanopoulos to Host ABC's 'Good Morning America'
By David Sessions - Politics DailyABC News is expected to announce that it is promoting Washington correspondent George Stephanopoulos to replace Diane Sawyer as host of "Good Morning America," Politico reports. Sawyer will anchor her last edition of the lucrative morning program on Friday, and Stephanopoulos could start as early as next week. The former senior adviser to President Clinton will continue presiding over his Sunday program, "This Week," during a transition period, as the network is wary of losing its audience share with a sudden change. A replacement will be named later. ...

The Edwards "Doomsday" Conspiracy
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyFor a defrocked politician, John Edwards remains the journalistic gift that keeps on giving. Just as the Oprah-ratic debates over Elizabeth Edwards' new book were beginning to grow stale, George Stephanopoulos jumped into the fray Sunday with his jaw-dropping claim that unnamed Edwards' campaign staffers had devised a "doomsday strategy...to sabotage his campaign" if the candidate with an explosive adulterous secret ever looked like he would win the nomination. ...
