Joining CBS is a unique opportunity that came at the right time for me. I'm thrilled to become part of the rich tradition of CBS News.
I think that good programming serves us all well. It gives people more choices. It makes us all try harder. And the competitive juices start flowing.
I think you get to know the people on the shows better than you do in any other format, because the audience sees us in so many different situations.
A lot people I know - it drives them crazy when they're watching, to see the people with their signs and waving, but there's something that's very inclusive about it.
So I don't really focus too much on that, and I think it's dangerous if your goal in life is to get the other guy, then you're not going to be doing a really quality job yourself.
You see, that's the problem I have with "you people.
At least for me personally, I've always tried to do a really good job every day, with each interview, and treat each interview seriously, and make the person I'm speaking with feel comfortable, hopefully make it an ideal experience.
I would hate to have that sort of like tabloid aspect of it or the relationship or anything overshadow, you know, what I think is really Kevin's best movie -- and probably mine, too,
But first this is the President's seventh, seventh trip to the hurricane zone and the former oilman is getting a real firsthand look at the devastation that's there.
I can tell you with complete honesty that my relationship with Matt hasn't changed at all. We like and care about each other.
He'd be thrilled. He loved a good party.
Meanwhile you cover the White House. I'm just curious what has the atmosphere been like since Katrina?
Many White House photo-ops are staged events, but did the most recent one go too far? President Bush held a video conference on Thursday with U.S. troops in Iraq. But some eyebrows were raised by what came over the satellite beforehand: A Pentagon aide rehearsing the soldiers' answers. We'll have more on that just ahead.
