"There are times in the interview where he is pounding the desk, he's so angry," Pelley said Monday. "There are parts where tears are running down his face as he's describing the people (he) met in New York. Viewers are going to see a man who has a great deal more range of emotion that he betrays in public." So did Bill Clinton. The good actors have range.

Wow. So, you have seen this interview already?
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
I'm looking forward to watching this interview, perhaps surprisingly.

"So did Bill Clinton. The good actors have range." Wow! That's cold.

Wow. So, you have seen this interview already? If you look closely, you'll see that I copied a part of the original article into my post and placed it in italics. That would be the part I was responding to. It's kind of an unwritten standard to do it that way. I would expect you to have understood that, considering that is exactly what you did in posting to me -- even though you've never met me. ;-)

Wow! That's cold. Not cold. Just simple honesty. I can't believe people are so gullible as to still be taken in by this hollywood crap. Oh, they can see right through it when the Democrats play the game, but the blinders go on the instant "their guy" is the one in the spotlight. It's just so embarrassing.

You think Bush is acting?

You think Bush is acting? You think he does scheduled interviews without preparing his responses and practicing his segue between emotions?
To: Jolly Rodgers
It sounds like you are implying that Bush is a fake, like Clinton. That's not fair. Just because someone is showing emotion in front of camera doesn't mean that it's not genuine. (as opposed to when Clinton went from laughing to crying at Ron Brown's funeral when he noticed a camera)
To: Jolly Rodgers
Big bump. Disappointing but that is my read too. He lost me with the open borders and amnesty nonsense.

It sounds like you are implying that Bush is a fake, like Clinton. I'm laughing at all the gomers who are ignorant enough to get sucked in by the hollywood production of a national interview. Politicians, Bush included, spend thousands and thousands of dollars for media consultants to work with them. You've seen Bush make impromptu comments and he is not a graceful speaker. It takes practice and preparation. He would be a fool if he didn't prepare in that way, so I'm not knocking him. However, I am very much knocking all the simpletons who fawn over his performance as if he was some kind of god on earth.

Clinton was a phony and a liar and most likely a murderer. I have no love for the Clinton family. However, that does not necessarily translate into mindless adoration of the Bush family. They are not royal. They are not an endowment from heaven. They are politicians, first and foremost. Never forget that.
To: Jolly Rodgers
Jolly, calm down. You are quite angry about the president. So what if he prepares his answers--any good person worth their salt would do it. But how do you make tears come out? I have never been able to cry on command. Do you think that Clinton bit his lip everytime he wanted to cry--you know, cause pain and the tears come? Perhaps I now understand why Clinton did what he did.

What do open borders and amnesty got to do with what we are talking about? Hey, if you have an agenda about the president both you and Jolly take it someplace else. This is no time to be fighting as the occasion is way too important to read the comments by you two.

Well, to you he is a fake and nothing the man does will ever change your opinion. So, move on - nothing here. Maybe you need to spend some time finding a candidate to promote for president that YOU could respect.

"Not cold. Just simple honesty" No. With all due respect your opinion is cold and has nothing to do with honesty.
(And if, IMHO, you were "honest"---you would admit it.)
To: Jolly Rodgers
Can I recommend a good laxative?
To: Jolly Rodgers
I'm not learning much about Bush from your comments, but I am getting a hint that you have difficulty recognizing honesty, integrity, and faith when it is before you.
Neither the presence, nor the absence, of a wide range of emotions, in ones public demonor, proves a whole lot. To understand what is really happening, one first must become a truth seeker, then one can begin to recognize such when it passes by.
Until then, reactions to superficial behaviours are rather superficial.

Your rebuttal to the resident Negative Nessie would be more than welcome.
