Interview shows an angry, intense Bush

CBS' Scott Pelley isn't the first person to observe that in a world of grays, President Bush sees mainly black and white. But Pelley says there are aspects about Bush's personality that might surprise some people during the president's only TV interview this Sept. 11 anniversary week -- on 60 Minutes II Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Why does the mere fact of a man crying mean he's 'feminized'? If there weren't tears forming or being shed, I'd suspect a fraud.

I have cried over this issue in the last few weeks - as I've sorted news articles and pictures for a scrapbook on the atrocity. (And, to be a touch sarcastic, I've been described as everything up to an NFP-size linebacker, but never labeled as 'feminized':-).

I'm perplexed this POTUS would grant SeeBS this interview.

First thing that struck me too.

...only hope he realizes what kinda worms he's dealing with at that lousy outfit.

I suspect he does. I'd be willing to bet he read this Pelley filly at least the preamble to the riot act. Could possibly even be a carrot for the cBSers; a quid pro quo of sorts? Hard one to call, but you can bet "W" has their number, and will give at least as good as he gets. Hope springs....

If somebody has a video of Bush's genuine expressions of anger and sorrow, it would make a perfect companion piece -- "BEFORE" and "AFTER", so to speak.

What can I say? I don't think of guys crying in public (before the world) when I think about heros. It send a msg to the entire world that we are soft. If Bush wants to cry let him - in private.

I'm simply stunned at the ignorance of so many of the people in this country. I don't claim to be a genius but I'm aware of what the Gov't. officials are supposed to do when the country is under attack, or under threat of an attack. They're secreted away in order to keep Gov't. intact!

The fact that VP Cheney (and I'm sure there are others) has been tucked away tells me that this newest alert is being taken very seriously.

It's nice to know someone who connects dots, too. :-)

I swear, Bob, if I see Clinton on any prime time specials tomorrow I will puke.

No sh!t. The man MOST directly responsible had better be very careful how he treats this day.

Sister Dear, you can be Issasis or get your own FR screen name but you can't be "posting" under my name, even though I agree with you! Trust me it's easy to sign up, and I caught you lurking under my "name"!

Thanks for the ping, friend.
