Transcript of Russert/Bush interview

Are you one of the few who still consider GWB a staunch conservative? There is more to conservatism than sitting around wringing the hands about abortion.

[Peach]

Will do, although you should be aware that my listening/typing skills seem to be deteriorating every year. Hah!

[onyx]

Yes, please tell us about the Breck boy as it happens. I don't get any of the shows until 10:30am your time.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Looking forward to the posts...I don't get MTP until 10:00 here. Thanks!

[Peach]

That could ruin Roy Orbison for me and I ADORE his music.

[Maigrey]

Marking my place while I'm at a function.

[evad]

It is impossible to trip-up an honest man..

Truer words were never spoken...
well said.

I think (hope?) the interview went well. Otherwise, there would have been "leaked" sound bites harmful to the President all over the media by now.

I turned on Chris Matthews last night after he evidently had just shown clips. Ron Reagan Jr. said Kerry has gravitas and Bush does not----based on this interview!

FWIW (which ain't much considering the source I cited.) And can you believe "gravitas" has been hauled out again? I'm thinking Ron floated the word to see if it works. I can't imagine after the resolve this president has displayed in the wake of all that has happened during his tenure, they can go back to the 2000 "he lacks gravitas" bs.

[onyx]

I may have to call PKM on the telephone. She promised me last night sh'ed be here!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Ron Jr. defined "gravitas"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[William McKinley]

Just out of curiousity, how would you classify Clinton? Was he on the left?

[Indy Pendance]

Does anyone else think Russert's looking a little more and more like Fred Flintstone lately?

[Peach]

I can answer for him:

Bush is a politician, nothing more. Bill Clinton at heart was more of a conservative.

[not-an-ostrich]

Thanks. Those negative polls are making me antsy. I'm ready for some polls showing the majority of the citizens of this country recognize the awesome reality of Pres. Bush's and his administration's accomplishments.

[Peach]

Somehow the picture of Ron Jr. defining gravitas is the funniest thing I've heard all year.

[Rome2000]

Har Har!

[onyx]

One minute to go and I have to reboot. Dang.

[RandallFlagg]

Is it on for anyone yet?

[windchime]

She may be getting supplemental information.

Last night on a special edition of Chrissy Matthews "Hardball". They showed a large picture of John Kerry and President Bush side by side, stating the polls. Anyway, the one of Kerry was good, for him, and the one they used for Presdident Bush was terrible.

His panel consisted of 5 dems and 1 republican. Ron Reagan (son) hates President Bush.
