In an article in the daily Irish Independent, Miriam Lord reported that the White House of the United States of America had complained regarding an interview Mr. Bush did with RTE (Radio Telefis Eireann) journalist, Carole Coleman.
Ms. Coleman, several times in attempts to keep Mr. Bush on the topic and away from his self-serving diatribes, interrupted Mr. Bush to redirect him to the question actually asked.
An interview with Mrs. Laura Bush, the American First Lady, that was scheduled for the next day, was cancelled by the Presidential staff when Ms. Coleman was identified as the interviewer. The excuse from the American staff was that Mrs. Bush would simply not be available.
In addition to the complaint lodged with the Irish Embassy in Washington, Ms. Coleman was actually phoned by the White House, and told that her interruptions of the president were unnecessary and disrespectful. She was reportedly also admonished for her tone.
This is just another case of this president whining when anyone makes a statement or claim that he dislikes. I remember clearly the whining he did on election day almost four years ago, when the broadcasters of several media leaders reported that Former Vice President Al Gore had taken the State of Florida. His attitude during that situation quickly ended when the media renounced their opinion. This single event should have shown the wary that if this man didnt get what he wanted, he would complain until he did. The concerns of several opposing organizations appeared to result in the Supreme Court of the United States refusing to address the situation and to uphold dim electoral rules rather than be sure that every vote was properly counted.
Mr. Bush ran on the premise that he was not a Washington insider, that he didnt have the "old boy" mentality that would slow progress and he would encourage bipartisan advancement. The only event that seemed to encourage that cooperation was the bombing of September the 11th. That, I believe, intimidated those who might have not agreed with all the legislation that was being brought before Congress into supporting it to avoid claims of anti-patriotism. And this was legislation that threatened the civil rights of every American citizen and any person living in the United States.
My hat is off to Ms. Coleman, for challenging Mr. Bush, a man whose hubris will allow his staff to confront anyone who is willing to show his lack of intellect by forcing him to squawk "Let me finish. Let me finish. May I finish?" Mr. Bushs unpracticed diatribe and contradictory comments would have challenged all but the most restrained reporters.
Cheers, Ms. Coleman!!!
