Writes Mark Coleman: "I thought the interesting thing about the Tim Russert 'interview' of Ron Paul was Russert's body language. I don't usually watch the program, so I was wondering, does he always keep his head down -- for almost the entire interview? He never seemed really relaxed until the very end, when he finally lifted his head so that we could see his eyes and he smiled a bit. His interviewing demeanor seemed somewhat amateurish and unprofessional.
"Incidentally, did you catch it when Paul was explaining his position about the CIA ,and before he could even finish, Russert says, 'What about public education?' (as part of his plan, evidently, to catch Paul on something). It was bizarre. Paul continued speaking about the CIA, then finally moved on the public education question, as a courtesy to Russert.
"Also, FYI, in case you didn't notice, Paul got a lot of face time on TV yesterday. First, the 'Meet the Press' interview in the morning. Then in mid afternoon, my father calls me to tell me that CNN is rerunning the 1-hour Glenn Beck interview. Then a few hours later, my son calls me to tell me they're running the Glenn Beck interview again! And finally, the Tim Russert interview was rebroadcast. So I saw extensive interviews with Paul on TV yesterday four times! I don't know if it's usual for CNN to rerun the Beck interviews twice on Sundays, but either way I thought it was a good day for Ron Paul."
