I certainly would not have been able to pull this off if I were covering Al Gore . . . Human vs. robot.
Human wins.
Cool!

Just a couple of weeks ago I was renewing my satellite subscription and wasn't sure what to do. I eventually settled on only HBO for movies. Something must have told me to do so. :o). Did you see the clip?

He is George W. Bush, soon to be president of the United States of America, and he is a charming goof.Yes, indeed! What a combination of personality characteristics! Charming goofiness and steely strength in the same guy! Gotta love it!
And the clip is hilarious! Now how can I get HBO for just one night?!!

I LOVE THAT CLIP!! If you can't get HBO for one night, I can tape it for you and send it your way. Actually, you may be able to order it for just one month.

Hey, I just read the reviews and one of them says that if this movie had been shown prior to the election, Bush's victory would have been much more resounding and there wouldn't have been the Florida recount nightmare!!

OH, Wphile, I would
love a tape of it, if I can't get it HBO for the night!
I've said all along that if the American public saw the real George W. Bush, they would love him (and that's why the media kept trying to hide him from us.) Well, after 9/11, the serious, resolute, compassionate side was revealed to the whole country, and now they're going to get to see the goofy side! I LOVE IT!!

HBO casts yes vote for Bush campaign documentaryWed Apr 10, 2:51 AM ET
By Susanne Ault
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - HBO has picked up rights to the film "Journeys With George," a documentary following then-presidential candidate George W. Bush on the campaign trail.
While it is good to see the folks at Yahoo! out there on the "cutting edge" with this "breaking news" story, they COULD have known this almost a MONTH ago, if they had read the Dose!

CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK
Film Festival Shows Somber Tone of the U.S.
By ELVIS MITCHELL
...Another documentary, "Journeys With George," is Alexandra Pelosi's digital minicam view from inside the 2000 Bush presidential campaign. (Ms. Pelosi, an NBC News producer, began "Journeys" as a side project. It moved to center stage when her candidate was elected.) It takes aim at several journalists but is most fascinating because of the way it dwells on the fine line between being the manipulator and the manipulated. Mr. Bush and Ms. Pelosi are canny stalkers, he with his jovial, fraternity-president charm and she with her loud outfits and an apparently scattered manner that masks her determination. Her shopping mall technology probably made Mr. Bush drop his guard a bit, and she gets more out of her camera just because of propinquity. But he never lets his guard down too far; his savvy with the press means he's always playing the candidate at some level, and she's charmed by the character he's playing.
"Journeys" is a sea change from the tradition of Timothy Crouse's "Boys on the Bus," primarily because it may well be the last opportunity for such a worm's-eye view of a presidential candidate. It's hard to believe campaign advisers will ever be this relaxed and accommodating around the press again. ("Journeys With George" has just been picked up by HBO.)...
Coming soon to a TV near you???

I can't even get ABC & CBS. Let alone any of the dish stations. Something about the ore in the hills I live between.
If anyone makes a tape, let me know!
You are absolutely correct about the media manipulating the voters! It should be criminal.
