"20 minutes til I get to watch. From the sound of Russert's rude demeanor, I think I might be wishing I could afford to take a hammer to the TV!"

I think these reporter/pundits have holdings in Motorola, Sony....maybe GE. I'm certain you feel less likely to use the hammer since you've seen President Bush. I left the thread to watch with my daughter...then watched a DVD.

President Bush looked tired, but he handled the interview skillfully, IMO. He did not let Russert exert control over what and when he said something and seemed totally unrehearsed. The reiteration of his position to redundant questions by Russert was in the words of my daughter, "Like explaining something to a three-year-old".

A pompous sounding orator President Bush is NOT, but I'll take him any day before one of 'those'. Thank goodness he didn't mention the word FIGHT!

Television sets intact in Tampa!
