Reply #31: I've seen him do that! Kerry untamed. [View All]

Candy Crowley or somebody tries to get him to say something a certain way, and he won't--and takes off in another direction entirely. Probably puts some noses out of joint. He also did this with Tweety. But other politicians do this, too. They need to say what they need to say!

It must get really frustrating, especially for someone like Kerry, who likes to explain things fully--and of course they only want a limited answer and then go to commercial. He doesn't make their jobs easy.

His ideal format is something like the nice leisurely Cspan interview he did during the campaign, sometime in the spring, before the convention. It was a sit-down interview with Susan (last name?). They sat in the Truman library and talked, and she had this kind of dreamy expression on her face all through it-lol! I'd loved to have seen more coverage like that. It was one of the first in-depth looks I got of him; he had such a presidential manner, especially in that setting, that I thought, WOW!
