[lbo-talk] Bush interview

[Stephen E Philion]

The questions were pretty good I thought. Why do you find Russert so 
grating? As James Harding put it in Friday's Financial Times: "... 
Tim Russert, an interviewer who by America's standards of deferential 
on-air treatment of politicians is known for his combative style, 
awkward questions and persistent follow-ups...." Could you imagine 
Larry King doing the interview?

--i'll second that, it was far better than what i had expected. i 
thought he did a bang up job considering how much bush kept on 
interrupting him as he tried to get in follow ups.  bush seemed outta 
his league in this interview, i don't know why he didn't get a sean 
hannity to do the interview.
