Zitat des Tages von Greta Van Susteren:
It is harder to lie in an interview. A good interview - and it can be polite - is not a one way street like a candidate controlled ad. An interview is not programmed by the candidate and so the candidate can't be exactly sure what will be asked.
Unfortunately, this is a free society, and we're gonna have people with trucks, and people with bombs.
I'm an independent type. No one tells me what to do.

When Mrs. Bush was First Lady, she went all over the Mideast talking about breast cancer awareness and the need for early screening. She did this in places where the cultures prohibit such discussion or even detection efforts.
