Check out this classic snippet from
Larry King's interview with Bush:
KING: Move to politics. An unusual situation in Connecticut. Joe Lieberman is running for reelection to the Senate. He's in a primary fight, may lose, and has said that if he loses, he might well run as an independent.
He supported you staunchly on Iraq, and Iraq is the major issue in that campaign, the primary.
Would you support him if he ran as an independent?
G. BUSH: First, the Democrats have to sort out who their nominee is going to be, and that's going to be up to the Democrats. And the rest of it's hypothetical.
KING: But he said he would run as an independent, if he were...
G. BUSH: He also has said he's going to win his primary.
KING: I know you like him.
G. BUSH: You're trying to get me to give him a political kiss, which may be his death.
KING: You hugged him before the State of the Union, right? No, I know you generally...
Ah, George - perhaps you already give him said kiss?
