What Will Larry's First Question Be for Bush?
CNN did a little Q and A with Larry King about viewers can expect from tonight's interview with President and Mrs. Bush and from past experiences interviewing US Presidents. Below is an excerpt from the article:What will be your first question for the president?
No idea. It might be about Ken Lay, maybe North Korea. Lay was a friend of his. It's the president's birthday so I might go there.
I never know in advance. I won't know until I say hello and start the interview.
I'll definitely ask about Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman, who says he'll run as an independent if he loses the Democratic primary. I'd like to know if Bush would support him as an independent.
Is there one thing you want to learn from the interview?
I want to learn as much as I can about as many things as I can. I'm as interested in feelings as I am about facts. I know we have 139,000 troops in Iraq, but I want to know about how he feels about all the troops.
Who was your favorite president to interview?
Clinton because he was so gregarious, funny, interesting and bright. I also liked Carter, and the first President Bush. Nixon's paranoia made him interesting. This president is comfortable in his own skin. Clinton would have to be the favorite.
Is there any single highlight that stands out from all your presidential interviews?
No single highlight. Clinton and Gore sat together for the only interview of a sitting president and vice president in the White House, and they took phone calls. I also learned from Nixon that he'd never been in the Watergate, ironic since it was the break-in there that ultimately brought down his presidency. Carter was so hands-on every detail. He even knew who was swimming in the pool. Clinton was always late, even when he had to be on time he was late. MORE

Breaking News Doesn't Take a Holiday
What can happen while one is at work! North Korea launched several missles today and it seems CNN was the leader of the pack in coverage. While other networks were in tape during the prime-time hours this evening, CNN brought in the calvary to cover the news. CNN even yanked previous taped programming and put a CNN Presents with the topic of North Korea in its place. AND right now, LIVE coverage continues on CNN/US via CNN/International. All info came mostly from reading THIS thread at CNN Fan.com.
