CBS's curmudgeon Andy Rooney...His POLITICAL Interview ideas:

[LittleApple81]

snip...

I'd like to have interviewed John Kerry and John Edwards. "Senators, you were both named John. Wouldn't it make it easier for all of us if we called one of you John and the other Jack?

"Sen. Kerry, your wife seems like a bright and unusual woman - not a typical first lady. She doesn't remind anyone of Martha Washington - or even Laura Bush with a foreign accent. There was a good picture of all of you in the paper the other day.

"Sen. Edward's son was sucking his thumb and Mrs. Kerry leaned over to take it out of his mouth. Would you rather she had let Sen. Edwards take it out? I mean, does your wife make you nervous sometimes, Sen. Kerry?”

I wouldn't expect Sen. Kerry to answer that question honestly, but just asking it would tell us something.

"What about you, Sen. Edwards. You're married. Does Kerry's wife make you nervous?" "You're a lawyer, Sen. Edwards. Americans have a low opinion of lawyers and of television news broadcasters. The difference is, reporters don't run for president. Is being a lawyer a drawback for you in your campaign?”

snip..

I'd ask them questions like that, and then afterwards, there are a couple of questions I'd like to ask Lesley Stahl, too.

(I wonder why he would like to ask her questions? .... mmmm)
