From an ABC P.R.: "In a live and exclusive interview tomorrow morning, President George W. Bush will speak with Diane Sawyer during ABC News' Good Morning America regarding Hurricane Katrina and the disaster on the Gulf Coast. He will address the emergency response and what Americans can do to help in a one-on-one interview only on GMA.

When was the last time Bush granted a live interview?...

1. Oh this is *rich*

She'll get to do her fake-y calm maternal caring schtick. He'll be "humanized"

Too late and too desperate a situation for cowboy theatre so he'll have to do "compassionate conservativis"---you know: oh, I wish there was more we could do, we are *trying* so hard. Laura and I are heartbroken....

what a damn pair that will be.

2. They're already swabbing the camera lens with vaserline...

3. would it help to email her and tell her to ask Bush

about the NO funding cuts? about all the NG in Iraq?

I didn't think so, but I'm going to anyway.

4. The guitar pickin was a PR disaster and they are backpedaling as

we speak. Even that f***wit Andrew Sullivan wrote that he really screwed the pooch with that photo op. Well too late pally. He needs to Yippie Ki Yi Ya right back to the famous Playskool Texas Dude Ranch and Pig Farm and let someone with some sense take over.

5. And he'll be smirking and giggling while talking about disaster.

6. Sawyer was in Nixon's WH press office.

She sure knows how to make a crazy son of a bitch look his best.
How can these flacks and spinmeisters call themselves journalists?

"More Americans get their news from ABC News"

7. On the other hand - while carrying the press conference live

my local ABC station had Bush up in the left hand corner less than a quarter size on the screen, the local "Breaking News" logo on the lower left (larger than Bush) and the entire right half of the screen was live shots from NO - an effective fuck you.

16. Why did Mike Nichols ever marry her?

I really don't get the attraction.

8. I would watch if he granted an interview with a real

journalist not Ms. Marshmellow Mouth.

9. He Wouldn't Do That

The only reason he does interviews is because he is assured there will be no hard questions.

[Cleita]

15. I would even watch if Jon Stewart or Bill Maher interviewed him

and they are comedians, not journalists, yet they do better interviews than Diane Sawyer ever has.

10. Thanks for the heads up. Now I'm sure not to watch GMA.

11. Not a damned soul should watch it

[arcos]

12. could this be.... damage control? nt

[AlCzervik]

13. well of course!! This hurricane happened to him, just like 9/11

he is the only victim!!!

14. Oh good - the naion can see his smirk and laugh and aw-shucks

it's so hard carin' (while doing nothing).
