I was doing a pilot for a show called "Stop Making Sense" early
in GW's campaign. I had no press credentials of any kind ... all I had
was a baseball. My angle was to talk to G.W. about sports. He used to
own a baseball team and is known as a fan of all sports. So I tossed him
the baseball and without missing a beat he caught it and smiled. Before
security had a chance to toss me and the unauthorized TV crew off the
premises, GW motioned for them to leave me alone, and then motioned to
me. He kept the Secret Service at bay long enough for me to interview
him about more sports topics and get arm-in-arm with the leader of the
free world. I'm not the biggest fan of his administration but I found
GW to be very likable and dare I say almost cool.
