He came off as confused & distracted.

AND these are words +24 hrs AFTER the fact - and without benefit of review - so I give them little credence!

YOUR big error is IN FORGETTING those very lucid and poignant remarks he made in support of his position during his interview.

In short, without benefit of review your points, your observations, your impressions, as unbased and as ungrounded as they are, are becoming meaningless ...

I like Noonan, but I think she pulled a Novak on this one. Even a Liberal talking head on CNBC said that Bush helped himself in the interview.

AND these are words +24 hrs AFTER the fact - and without benefit of review - so I give them little credence! All I can say is I hope your not on his comm team. Your insistence on "review" is meaningless - most of America (audience remember?) will see a few choice clips on the news - thats it. Even the Bush crowd here only caught it once. If Bush needs "benefit of review" to get his msg across, we're in trouble.
