Thanks for the interview link, Deb. I watched the whole thing, and President Bush deserves a gold star. I know reporters sometimes feel the need to play devil's advocate, but I got the impression that some of the questions were just meant to hurt, particularly the questions about the father-son relationship. He seemed to imply that the president's father invited Clinton to Kennebunkport more than him as a means of expressing disapproval of his policy choices. The very idea inflames me.
Clinton isn't president anymore and obviously has a lot more spare time. Maybe the reporter figured that since the tabloid's ridiculous "even Laura hates him" story didn't go anywhere he might as well try again with Bush Sr.
But our Dubya didn't lose his cool at all. He had an answer for everything and was very sincere. I wish we could all just give him a big high five.
On the last segment, Brian Williams was, I think, a bit obnoxious in asking GWB about what he was reading, and being somewhat critical on his choices (as if he wasn't smart enough to read Camus or Shakespeare). I loved how GWB responded! He is so smart, and also such a gentleman.
When Williams asked him something about how people misunderstand him--they got into a short discussion about what is reported. Williams asks if he watches much t.v.(meaning the news) and GWB responds that he enjoys a good baseball game! Love it!
