| Bush pleads for courtesy from Irish reporter |
| 2004-06-26 |
| An Irish reporter threw courtesy aside and repeatedly interrupted President George W. Bush during a television interview at the White House. "Let me finish. Let me finish. May I finish?" Bush said early in his interview with Radio and Television Ireland Thursday, according to a transcript released Friday. "Let me finish. Let me finish, please. Please. You ask the questions and I’ll answer them, if you don’t mind," he said in a second interruption moments later. The two pleadings were followed by three more during an 11-minute exchange in advance of Bush’s trip to Ireland, where he was to attend a summit meeting of the European Union. In the interview with reporter Carole Coleman, Bush defended the invasion of Iraq and denied the contention that the world was more dangerous because of it. He also rejected the idea that bringing democracy to the Middle East -- a key aim of the United States in Iraq -- should not await resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. |

| #6 How dare she question our Great Leader! I watched the interview and she almost made him think once or twice. It was cute. He had to be very stern when he told her that the world was safer now because he said so. |

| #4 Must have been a morning interview, because everyone in Ireland are passed out drunk by noon. |

| #1 This is typical of the Euorpean version of opinions deguised as journalism - even more biased and blatant than in US. I really have no sympathy any longer for Europe and just look in expectation to what they sow they will reap/weep. We have done all the right things to keep us safe(r)including engaging the jihadis in Iraq and not Iowa. But the Euros defense is to think that if they knock America they will be living by the old axiom "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". Unfortunately, Madrid was a hor d'ouvre, and Paris or Belin or even Dublin could be the entree. But that will only give them a bigger reason to blame Bush. |
