And then there's the show biz fact that Clinton can put sentences together while pronouncing all the words correctly versus Bush's, to be polite he's not known as a talented public speaker.

actually this is the very reason he should go on, the comic releif would be fantastic.......strategery....



also, lets remember that gore and bill went on larry king....I thought that was, a little to "chic populist" for me ala Nixon and laugh in for you older folks...add to that that they were handled with kid gloves, and we both know that bush would be torn apart by letterman.

The Earth has been cooling since 1998. Bill Clinton tried the Global Warming gig when he was President. The Democrats are 10 years too late.
Oh dear, the lack of scientific knowlage here is actually quite painful. You do realise that the Oceans also act as a massive carbon sink don't you? And that a certain level of Carbon Dioxide is good, but sadly we are struggling with the sheer amount. Global warming is not a hoax.

Oh, and your less safe in an 4 by 4 (SUV) than if your not in one. Your just as likley to die in one and your 3 times more likley to kill someone else.

For the record, he was on at least once. Perhaps he wasn't asked back because he behaved like a four year old:

Bushflash.com- Anti-War, Anti-Bush media worldwide!

and, from a less blatantly biased source:

Bush Uses Woman's Clothing As Kleenex on Letterman Show

When the show producer leaned over to talk to Letterman during a commercial, Bush grabbed the hem of her jacket and used it to clean his glasses. I can't speak for Letterman, but I wouldn't invite a guest back into my house that behaved like that.

I don't know if that implies "arrogant" as much as "socially retarded". And, if you were out to dinner and some guy walked by, grabbed your wife's shirt, and cleaned his glasses with it what, praytell, would you do? Make fun of her for getting upset, and ask the guy if he would also like to spit in her drink?

Bush also talks with food in his mouth at formal functions. It's not a knock on his leadership but it does show that he's a uncultured boor.

In my case there would most likely be an unpleasant incident unfolding with me pouring or throwing on the jerk whatever container of liquid was handy, preferably a rich tomato-based sauce, and looking forward to his response.

dude, come on, he was on stage during a break, shes a production person, ever seen a stage during breaks etc? Its pandemonium sometimes....people shuffling in and out..”more water”?...”hows your make up” ? etc etc..I would have done the same thng instead of asking for a friggin handkerchief waiting for someone to get it and the break ending....

(Arrogant was term used on the first link you added I believe).

as far as eating with your mouth open or talking with it full, gross, lack of manners and parents who taught him right AFIAK....I rate people on a lot of factors based on their table manners…snobby? Maybe , but its telling if you ask me…

You'd have used a strange woman's skirt to clean your glasses? I know he's incapable of coherent speech without squinting at a teleprompter but that's....tacky.

As he was the family black sheep I'm not surprised his parental upbringing including manners didn't take.

I think we can all be thankful it was just his glasses that were dirty.

Sometimes I use my shirt as a handkerchief after I sneeze. If somebody tried to do that with my shirt I'd be seriously pissed.

I guess people on the right or ok with Bush treating people with complete disrespect.
