Russert threw out the opening volley, and Bush said, whoa, wait a minute, let me give you background info first. That set the tone. Bush was not going to let Russert control the interview. And you're right about the interruptions. Russert looked childish.

I agree. The President seemed strong and in control.

I'm taping it ... couldn't sit and watch the whole thing right now and didn't want to see bits and pieces.

But I watched for a few minutes with no sound.

The President looked great--confident, charming, persuasive and, well, cute.

He was talking a good long time and then they cut to Russert--he looked like a cross little hen, fat-faced and pouty.

Sometimes it's neat to see body language without the words.
