I just got a little caught up with some of my backlogged podcasts. There's a good American Microphone interview out there with Bob Kerrey, which was posted on 8 Oct 2006. Kerrey was a both a Senator from, and a governor of, Nebraska, as a Democrat. Given the interview date, the first part of the interview is sort of the usual exercise of "how do we coasties appeal to the heartland?" To Kerrey's credit, he's less banal in this department than most.
Later on in the interview, however, it gets a lot better, with extensive discussion about the 9/11 Commission. (You might recall that Kerrey served on that commission.) He's pretty frank about the whole thing. If your leanings are rightward of mine, don't worry. It's not a partisan rant on his part.
Generally, it's nice to hear a guy who was a savvy politician speak from a position of apparent retirement from that game.
You can watch the video on AM's site and/or get the audio-only content as a free feed from iTunes. Let me know if you want help with the geekery.
