At one time or another in his journalistic career, Bob Schieffer covered all four of Washington, DC’s major beats (the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department and Capitol Hill). Schieffer has always been covering political America due to his fascination of politics.  According to Schieffer, the most interesting thing he’s ever done was to be the recent moderator of the third and final Presidential debate between Senator John F. Kerry and President George W. Bush.
