Jon Stewart Debriefs Madeleine Albright

From Salon.com

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said President Bush didn’t seem particularly interested in responding to her concerns about the war in Iraq.

“The Daily Show” host gets the skinny from the former secretary of state on Bush’s “consultation” with over a dozen former White House advisors. Scary part: Albright says Bush was exactly the way he sounds on TV.

Salon:

The Decider, not The Listener

Jon Stewart’s interview with former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright last night certainly shed some light on The Decider’s governing style behind the scenes. Her most chilling observation? “The president is exactly the way he sounds on television.”
