On Tuesday morning, CNN's Kyra Phillips asked why the Republican presidential candidates have not been speaking out on foreign policy in Libya during the climactic battle in the country's capital between rebel and imperial forces. CNN had interviewed Republican candidate Jon Huntsman the night before, but had not yet asked him about the conflict in Libya, in the first of a two-part interview set to conclude Tuesday night. “This week's battle in Libya, the first big chance for the GOP presidential hopefuls to show their foreign policy savvy,” Phillips noted during the 10 a.m. hour of Newsroom. “Why haven't we heard from them?” she asked. Liberal CNN analyst Roland Martin subsequently hammered the Republicans as “wimps” for their silence. [Video below the break.] CNN prime-time host Piers Morgan had hosted candidate Jon Huntsman on Monday, but had not yet asked him about Libya. The rest of the Huntsman interview is scheduled to air Tuesday night. Analyst Roland Martin decried the GOP silence on Libya. “They know the actions the President took was the right action, but then you have the folks on the right who say, well, like Senator John McCain, he should have done something sooner,” he remarked. “But then remember you also had the House Republicans who also wanted to pass a resolution saying you should not be taking any action in Libya, and so they don't want to say anything.” “That's called weakness,” Martin added. “You want to be President? Say something. They are simply wimps.” National Review's Will Cain opposed Martin's comments, noting that the President himself has been vague on the details of the conflict in Libya, namely on the ultimate goal and the timeline for American forces to leave the country. “I'll tell you the one thing they have said, though, is they said they wouldn't go into Libya in the first place,” Cain said of the Republican candidates. “And that's not just backwards-looking. That informs how they would make decisions about Syria, the Congo, and every place else in the world that's under these same, similar situations. A transcript of the segment, which aired on August 23 at 10:30 a.m. EDT, is as follows: KYRA PHILLIPS: First question, guys. This week's battle in Libya, the first big chance for the GOP presidential hopefuls to show their foreign policy savvy, to say what they would do. Okay. Why haven't we heard from them? Roland? ROLAND MARTIN, CNN POLITICAL ANALYST: Hmm, wimps! Because they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They know the actions the President took was the right action, but then you have the folks on the right who say, well, like Senator John McCain, he should have done something sooner. But then remember you also had the House Republicans who also wanted to pass a resolution saying you should not be taking any action in Libya, and so they don't want to say anything. That's called weakness. You want to be President? Say something. They are simply wimps. PHILLIPS: Will? WILL CAIN, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: Boy, Roland, you're going to die on your own words with that. You mean these Republican candidates haven't said what the goal is in Libya? They haven't said how long we'll stay? They haven't said when we'll get out and under what conditions we'll get out? MARTIN: They have said nothing, Will. CAIN: Which would make them very similar to the President of the United States of America. MARTIN: They have said nothing. CAIN: Isn't that interesting? I'll tell you the one thing they have said, though, is they said they wouldn't go into Libya in the first place. And that's not just backwards-looking. That informs how they would make decisions about Syria, the Congo, and every place else in the world that's under these same, similar situations.

(h/t odd man out. ) Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein has hired high-profile Washington defense attorney Reid Weingarten, according to a government source, as the Justice Department continues to investigate the bank. Blankfein, 56, is in his sixth year at the helm of the largest U.S. investment bank, which has spent two years fending off accusations of conflicts of interest and fraud. The move to retain Weingarten comes as investigations of Goldman and its role in the 2007-2009 financial crisis continue. The news spooked already jittery investors. Goldman shares fell sharply in the final minutes of regular trading after Reuters reporting the hiring, finishing down 4.7 percent at $106.51, their lowest level since March 2009. They slipped further in after-hours trade to $105.45. The Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) in April released a scathing report that criticized Goldman for “exploiting” clients by unloading subprime loan exposure onto unsuspecting clients in 2006 and 2007, and concluded that its top executives misled Congress during testimony in 2010. “This was the last thing that Goldman Sachs or any institutions in the sector needed,” said Peter Kenny, managing director of Knight Capital in Jersey City, NJ. “There is zero tolerance for risk or perceived risk right now.”

Since Al Sharpton took over for Cenk Uygur in MSNBC's 6:00 time slot last month, he's been derided and ridiculed as a laughing stock totally unqualified to host a cable news program. Ironically, that makes him a perfect fit at this farce of a news outlet, and on Tuesday, the folks at MSNBC rewarded his incompetence by officially giving him his own show (press release via TV By The Numbers): REVEREND AL SHARPTON TO HOST “PoliticsNation” ON MSNBC Program to Air at 6 pm ET Weeknights Beginning August 29th NEW YORK – August 23, 2011 – Reverend Al Sharpton, the civil rights activist and minister, has been named host of “PoliticsNation,” a nightly program airing weeknights live at 6 p.m. ET on MSNBC. The announcement was made by Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC. “PoliticsNation” will debut on August 29. In his new role, Sharpton will lead a lively and informed discussion of the top headlines, bringing viewers his take on events in his signature style. “I’ve known Rev. Sharpton for over a decade and have tremendous respect for him. He has always been one of our most thoughtful and entertaining guests,” said Griffin. “I’m thrilled that he’s now reached a point in his career where he’s able to devote himself to hosting a nightly show. ‘PoliticsNation’ is going to be an incredibly strong kick-off to our evening schedule.” In addition to being a frequent guest on MSNBC throughout the network’s history, Rev. Sharpton has also served as an occasional guest host on several programs, most recently on “MSNBC Live at 6PM” and “The Ed Show.” He joins the network at a time where MSNBC has experienced tremendous ratings growth, consistently topping CNN in primetime programming. “I am very happy and honored to join the MSNBC team as we collectively try to get America to ’Lean Forward,’” said Sharpton. “It is a natural extension of my life work and growth. We all learn from our pain and stand up from our stumbling and one must either learn to lean forward or fall backwards. I'm glad they have given me the opportunity to continue my forward lean.” With over 40 years of experience as a community leader, politician, minister and advocate, the Rev. Al Sharpton is one of America’s most-renowned civil rights leaders. Sharpton’s highly visible career began at the tender age of four when he preached his first sermon. A successful civil rights career soon followed, helping Sharpton hold such notable positions as the Youth Director of New York’s Operation Breadbasket, Director of Ministers for National Rainbow Push coalition, and founder of his own broad-based progressive civil rights organization, the National Action Network (NAN), one of the leading civil rights organizations in the world. Since its inception in 1991, NAN has expanded to encompass chapters throughout the United States and maintain important regional offices in Washington, D.C.; Atlanta, GA; Detroit, MI; Chicago, IL; Dallas, TX; Las Vegas, NV; and Los Angeles, CA. Sharpton was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 2004. Rev. Sharpton also hosts a nationally syndicated radio show that broadcasts in 40 markets, five days a week. He resides in New York and has two daughters, Dominique and Ashley. “PoliticsNation” will air weeknights from 6:00-7:00PM ET on MSNBC. Matthew Saal is Executive Producer.
