characterized as fumbling over his words (nuc-u-ler? Nuc-le-ar?) and lacking

Parts of her tale, like her complaints of how all they ever ate were turkey sandwiches, were perhaps attempts to deter aspiring media professionals. But when a British journalist pointed out why he loves elections (they are everything anyone would want to cover- they contain human drama, entertainment, policy and are serious events all in one), it made me ready to jump onto the next campaign bus, no matter whose it is.
In her behind-the-scenes, lighthearted documentary Journeys with George, Alexandra Pelosi
(daughter of Nancy Pelosi) shows viewers a George Bush the nation didn’t get to know. The film, captured on her personal camcorder, portrayed George as a very

Pelosi makes the campaign trail and media circus look exhausting but entertaining. Her encounters with journalists representing all the major news outlets and George Bush's campain team members such as Karl Rove are enlightening. When some of the other reporters mistreated Pelosi, Bush took her aside and reassured and comforted her.
