Political interviews

The released snippets of the first interview with the good governor of Alaska were interesting, to say the least. Fans thought she was great, critics thought she was terrible, and maybe a few on the fence fell off one way or another. I was terrified. I also was reminded of this interview in the film Being There:

Ron Steigler: Mr. Gardner, uh, my editors and I have been wondering if you would consider writing a book for us, something about your um, political philosophy, what do you say?

Chance the Gardener: I can't write.

Ron Steigler: Heh, heh, of course not, who can nowadays? Listen, I have trouble writing a postcard to my children. Look uhh, we can give you a six figure advance, I'll provide you with the very best ghost-writer, proof-readers...

Chance the Gardener: I can't read.

Ron Steigler: Of course you can't! No one has the time!
