1. Charlie Rose is so ponderous...he wants to establish how "smart"

he is... that piercing gaze... that deliberate way of speaking... I wish he would let his guest speak more.

2. I didn't see him last night, but I understand from DU that Rose

was pretty ugly to Michael Moore (not that MM can't take care of himself, but it grates on me nonetheless.)

3. Go to the media forum and you can download if you want....

I thought Rose was incredibly rude in talking over Moore, but as expected Moore held his own.

4. Not "ugly" in the sense of attacking, but wouldn't let him speak.......

I couldn't get to his website yesterday, and I wanted to find an email addy to write to him.

I expect the hard questions, and I'm sure Michael does, also. That's the only way to get the info out, and it gives Michael the opportunity to say more than the typical celebrity stuff. But, there's just no excuse for taking 10 minutes to ask a question, then interrrupting the answer! That's not only not professional..... it's just rude.

Moore was great, and I learned things from him as I listened. But, when Rose is talking over him, it's impossible to hear what Mike is really saying. Must have the patience of a saint to put up with that nonsense..........
