Tonight, Charlie Rose is hosting President George Bush.
As you know from previous posts, I really like Charlie Rose's show. It is intelligent, thought-provoking and always an intelligent conversation about interesting topics.
Imagine my curiosity over this evening's program.
Many guests over the past year talk about the complications of the war in Iraq, this administration, and the troubled state of political discourse in the U.S.
What is tonight going to be like? What will Bush say? Will Charlie be nice (he's a Southerner, so yes) but will he hold back on hardball questions? Whatever made Bush decide to do Rose's show? What did Charlie have to agree to? Will it be completely done by script?
Last night they featured a whole hour on the Frost/Nixon play that just opened on Broadway. By the end of the hour, I was trying to figure out what basis I could lay for us to travel to NY and see the production.
Will I feel differently about Bush at the end of tonight's show? Will I see him more sympathetically?
With regard to television programming, I thought I was most looking forward to the return of the Sopranos, but it turns out I was wrong.
