Close Encounters With the Bush Administration

Last night Ron Suskind (who is a UVA grad) came to Charlottesville and spoke at the Miller Center. There is a Real video of it on the Miller Center web site. It was a packed house (there are a couple of other rooms beside what you see on the film where we were watching on a closed circuit TV). Suskind put on a brilliant performance and detailed his whole experience with the administration, from the time he got an office in the White House for his Karen Hughes story, to his story on John DiIulio (the Mayberry Machiavellis story), to, of course, the book with Paul O'Neill. He is quite an orator and I highly recommend the video, and if you get a chance to see him, I'd highly encourage you to do so.
