SHOCKER! Neal Cavuto realy grills Bush in interview (transcript)
NEIL CAVUTO, HOST: Mr. President, welcome to FOX. It's great to have you.

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Thank you, Neil.

CAVUTO: We were thinking of you, Mr. President, we knew you had won the election and now we have heard that you had better grades than your opponent too in college.

(LAUGHTER)

CAVUTO: What did you think with the release of those transcripts?

BUSH: I didn't think much about it. You know, I've always tried to lower expectations, and I feel like if people say, well, you know, maybe, you know, I don't think you handle the tough job, and when you do, it impresses people even more. But my view is the campaign is over.

CAVUTO: Yes. He was billed as the intellectual, though, and you had better grades in college.

BUSH: Yes. Well, as I said, I like to lower expectations.

(LAUGHTER)

:D Okay not really but here are some other "highlights" :D

CAVUTO: But in the meantime, the news channels then hear what you're saying, and then later on, we have this Michael Jackson (search) update. I mean, his trial and his ongoing saga has gripped the nation for the past four-and-a-half, five months as you've been on this campaign.

(LAUGHTER)

CAVUTO: I know this is a little outlandish, Mr. President…

BUSH: No, that's all right, Neil.

CAVUTO: Do you think that the focus on Michael Jackson has hurt you?

BUSH: I have no idea.
--------------------

-On the possible housing bubble-
BUSH: ..........Let me just talk about ownership real quick.

BUSH: .....Let me talk about ownership for a minute.

-W mentions "ownership" 5 times here-

-------------------

CAVUTO: You know, your vice president was saying that Laura Bush (search) would be an excellent presidential candidate.

BUSH: Well, he's a diplomat. He's a smart man.

1. Tell you one thing, if this is true...
Neil Cavuto actually made George W. Bush look like an intellectual.

3. Let's see Bush was one point ahead of Kerry and suddenly
he is an intellectual. This Neil is a jackass--I'm glad I avoid FAUX. "I try to lower expectations" you sure do. Besides it doesn't matter what Kerry had in college--side by side there is no doubt who the real thinking man is.

4. Thanks for asking the tough questions, Neil.
Dude, you call THIS a question?

CAVUTO: Let me ask you about the economy, sir. Almost any objective read tells you that we're still doing very, very well. Productivity is very high. Had a strong GDP report. Retail sales are very, very strong. The unemployment rate, at 5.1 percent, used to be considered full employment when Hubert Humphrey was alive. Do you think you get a bum rap in the media on the economy?

:grr:

10. How about this Dr.Phil "question"?
CAVUTO: Do you ever get mad at of your fellow Republicans?

7. Did he ever get around to asking him about his favorite color?
Oh, well, I don't consider Fox to be MSM anyway. It's a privatized propaganda ministry; unfortunately, the MSM seems to be allowing Fox to take lead and they are following it.

CNN isn't really a news channel anymore. It has as much fluff in its content as Entertainment Tonight. Maybe CNN should give John Tesh the anchor's chair.

This is pretty shocking even for Fox. Cavuto seems to be trying instead to immitate CNN. Maybe John Tesh should have conducted the interview.

14. In my gym, this was on a TV...
...I became enraged. The rightists think that this sort of rage is impotent, and it can be if not coupled with concrete action. But if linked with disciplined, determined action to undermine and neuter the power of this gang of human scum sitting in Washington, then it is worthwhile.

And the problem exists because *Baby Bombers* like me are getting ready to retire, and we're going to live longer than our predecessors...
