Seems to be at least a partial transcript of the Jesse Sheidlower
segment on 60 Minutes II, at:

http://cbsnews.com/now/story/0,1597,275578-412,00.shtml

I think that the 'critic' who was interviewed for the 60 Minutes "War On
Words" segment is Brian Sewell, an art critic for a London newspaper.

At the above site, there is a link for those who have the ability to
view multimedia video on their computers.  There are other related
links, including one that reads: The OED asks the public for help in
tracking down information about words.

Vs. Yadda Yadda":
