That was fast
As you may have heard, President Bush is coming to town on Wednesday.
A few weeks ago, my boss, in a fit of optimism, told readers we’d try for a one-on-one interview and asked what questions they would ask.
Well, that plan fizzled in spectacular fashion.
Within 10 minutes of making the request this morning, the very nice communications folks at the White House were on the phone saying that he’d love to chat but is on a really tight schedule that day.
For me, that’s a new land speed record in rejection of an interview request.
Don’t worry though; there’ll be plenty to write about even if we don’t sit down with the Commander-in-Chief. The newsroom will be spending today and tomorrow simultaneously writing about and planning for the visit. So stay tuned.
