"I can believe that he was selected to make the President look good."

I certainly believe that Heric. What I've been trying to say is that the President expected to look better than he did. I think he was hoping for one of those screaming "Liberals" that Limbaugh is always warning Bush's "base" about. Harry was cutting and a little snide, He epresses a lot of genuine anger and resentment without losing his cool; but still his comment was not nearly as snide as Bush's, But Harry remain calm, polite and unmocking throughout and he didn't interupt to make a joke. Again, more than Bush could manage.

I hear y'all when you say he should have done this or that or talked about the war or whatever. But I think, no matter what he said Bush would have had a different meaningless reply. On the war for instance, he's had three years to practice his spin. Harry did fine. As good as anyone could do. Did I mention that he is a folkie? ;-)
