Fareed Zakaria needs his own show.

Not another nightly talking-head gabfest, but some kind of weekly magazine on foreign affairs or something would be outstanding for him.

I'm sure some knee-jerks will whine about his Republican past, but I prefer his level-headed, intelligent take on what's really going on. He's a main reason why I watch ABC Nightly News, This Week on Sundays, and subscribe to Newsweek.

Flame on, if you must - but I'm right. ;-)

He's the only reason I watch This Week...very insightful analysis

forgot his name

pretty good description, huh?

the good sergeant in Platoon?

the bad artist/counterfeiter in To Live and Die in LA

William........

Sorry, I don't see it. :shrug:

the mouth is similar

got transfixed by that

moving right along, could Aaron Brown POSSIBLY be more in love with himself?

he's NAUSEATINGLY narcissistic

I think he thinks he's Henry Kissinger minus the voice.

Rational.

Fareed is the best!

'cause that guy is one boring, say-the-obvious-as-if-its-profound-and-you-too-can-be-on TV mofo.

:eyes:

Go watch O'Reilly if that's what you need.

If he's conservative, then frankly he's my kind of conservative. Real smart guy, and has good insights. Even when I disagree with him, I think he's worth listening to.

a muslim american defending gay marriage and doing a really good job of it and making the right wing anti gay george will look like an ass. yup, that's my kind of conservative also.

ass every time they are on together. Hmmm... maybe that's why they're not on together that often anymore.

having a panel. He's one of the best folks out there on the ME. He has a new book out. It's probably a great read.

He's the new glamour boy of the national media. Bestselling author. Columnist for Newsweek magazine. Editor of Newsweek International. Regular guest on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." New York magazine last month described him as "silky and unflappable," "dimple-chinned, with expressive eyebrows" and said he could be both "the Indian incarnation of Cary Grant" and "the first Muslim secretary of State."

There's only one problem with this panting adulation.

"I'm not really all that interesting," says Fareed Zakaria. "I'm not rich. I'm not that famous. I'm not that glamorous. I have two kids under the age of 4, and when I'm not working, I'm hanging out with my family. When I read about myself, I say, 'Sounds like a fascinating guy. I'd love to know him.' But it isn't quite me."

Zakaria's seeming modesty is part of his charm. But it isn't his charm, his good looks or his journalistic ubiquity that have made him a media star, still eight months shy of his 40th birthday.

It's his mind...

but short of that he needs more broad exposure. I read all his columns on his website.

i hear the sec of state job is richard holbrookes.

of guy you want on your side. Looks tough as hell.

Fareed has yet to prove himself in gov't service: he can't be trusted wtih a Cabinet level position yet, just because he is an impressed pundit and thinker.
