George W. Bush: Political Animal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAMJUQu95rI

George W. Bush is nervous and awkward in this video. So much so that you feel sorry for him at times. He is so clearly in over his head when matched up against Larry King.

But at times Bush hits his stride, and you can see how he's managed to get so far. He is a political animal. Bush may not know too many "facts", or be able to understand complex "subjects", but he knows who's hand to shake and who's ass to kiss. And he certainly knows how to shake hands and kiss asses. His specialty is knowing what he's supposed to believe, and what is supposed to be the right thing, and how to express it in a way that reassures people. He is a master of projecting confidence when it is most painfully obvious he ought not have any confidence at all.

He and his wife both live in a constant state of trying to please everyone around them. It must be a hellish life. In this video you can see it on their faces.
