First Lady Bush and President George W. Bush Were on Larry King Live
First Lady Laura Bush and President George W. Bush were on Larry King Live last night. Larry King was doing sort of an exit interview with the couple. Laura was basically being motherly towards the President. She is his wife so I can see why she would defend him. George W. Bush talked about mostly the same things- connecting the dots, Katrina being a great effort, the war etc. He said Dick Cheney is a great man, we just do not know the real him. Larry King asked the President if Vice President Dick Cheney really was the one running the show. The President said no, obviously. This question would never be answered as yes, can you imagine the next day’s headlines if he had said yes? The President and the First Lady both said that they will write books. The President said he will only be a baseball fan, he will never be involved in baseball again. He wants to focus on AIDS and malaria in Africa. He also wants to go mountain biking. The First Lady wants to help women in Afghanistan. Did any of you watch the interview last night?
I watched the interview. I’m not a huge fan of Bush, but I must say he did a much better job at the interview than I was expecting. Some of what he said about opinion polls, the media, security that can’t be revealed, etc., did make a lot of sense. I never thought I’d say that. I’ll be very glad when next Tuesday we have our new president.
