I think it’s important that Bush did that Sean Hannity interview–of which I’ve heard and watched parts. It’s important because he gets to make his case, to a wide national audience and rally the troops.

And take a second to contrast, say, the Kerry-Couric interview and the Bush-Hannity. Hannity asks actual intelligent questions, and Bush answers them well, substantively. Bush, of course, besides doing a “friendly,” sat down with Gibson (and some of his silly questions), not knowing what he’d get. Kerry knew pretty full well.
