It will be heavily edited to make W look as bad as possible.

He probably figures it's a ONE SHOT chance
at getting a positive exposure on CBS!

Watch out for the day after!

"Excerpts from the interview..."

Translation: A hatchet job. By the time Miz Colonic and the Commie Broadcasting Sack-o-Lies is done "editing" the interview, Bush will look like the devil incarnate.

60 minutes edits their interviews to the point of absurdity. They will show a question by the interviewer and then an answer from the interviewee that was NOT a response to that question.

This may be very good. If she gets in the president's face, she will not have a high-ranking official for over two years. I believe she will go easy on him. That will make the leftist whackjob base go crazy. As a Hillary supporter, Katie will be even more loathed. This could end up damaging the witch.

Good Point! However ms perky's take-over is going to be one of the biggest non-events in the history of media.

You're right. I haven't watched 60 Minutes in over 15 years but know that's how they operate. I used to belong to Accuracy in Media when Reed Irvine was alive.

LOL.

That evil genius Rove. And that eviler genius Snow. They knows the ratings will be enormous the first night and then sink back into oblivion.

Talk about taking advantage of publicity without spending one penny of money.

Just LOL.

The Pres himself? He is the top guy and speaks with world leaders and even Congressmen every day. Nobody is better prepared to go into the lions den.

The problem is that they don't see it as him being "bigger".
Someone like Katie Couric believes she's objective and that her greatness got her the interview.

So...you really think Couric will outwit the President? If I were him I'd be a lot more afraid of intelligent, informed Brit Hume and he's done a lot of those interviews.

I predict HE is going to eat her lunch. But we still need to pray for him.

I wish Bush would be as nice to his friends as he is to his enemies.

Loaded question example:

Mr. President, it has been one year after Hurrican Katrina devastated New Orleans. Do you still hate black people ?
