White House Press Secretary Tony Snow on David Letterman's show

mimo2005 · 10-05-2007, 09:53 AM

Letterman told Snow he keeps hearing what a warm, cordial man Bush is in private, but that "something happens when you put him in front of an audience. ... He can't get it, it's stuck in gear. ... Is that a fair assessment?"

"Yeah," said Snow. "And there are time you want to just dash your brains out against the wall."

Snow is saying that lots of politicians don't come across well on camera. They freeze up, get intimidated, or whatever. You might not think it, but people react very differently if you stick a microphone or camera in their face than they do in a personal conversation or a small group. Just look at any home movies.

I've frozen up, in fact I remember once I had discussed a issue with my debate teacher right before I went up to actually give my point.

And as I was up there I just completely last track and went way in left field. Sometimes its happens.
