   I don't have the patienceto sit around watching two guys chat in slow motion. If this were in print I could blow through it in a few minutes, cut and paste quotes, add remarks. Watching people talk, for me, is like having a tooth pulled.

   "kind of dippy"I would love to have Charlie Rose's job.  (Bill Moyers's too.)  On the one hand I assume I would be much better at it than he, he can be so inarticulate -- as he comes across in the transcript of this interview.  On the other, though, I admit he must have some subtle talent that escapes notice.  He is so disarmingly friendly and hospitable and non-threatening that he usually succeeds in eliciting full, candid and interesting responses from his guests.  So, good for him.
   Sunflower, I also am stumped by "global weirding."  That is what is printed in the transcript, in quotation marks, so presumably that is what Amory Lovins actually said.  Or, that is what the transcriber thought he said.  And I am not sure the context makes the meaning clear.  Perhaps Jason will remember to ask him about it, when he sees him on Thursday.

   "Global Weirding"= Global Warming = Climate Change = Climate Chaos = Climate Crisis = "increase in severe weather events" = "changing global patterns"
   "Global Warming" is so 1998. Get into the 21st century.

   Charlie Rose is to good journalism...as George Bush is to good leadership.

   Ha!Sure, Jones, if you say so.  It's just that I am still stuck back in the 13th century, so there is a ways to go ...
   Actually, I did indeed suspect that "global weirding" had to do with anomalous and extreme weather patterns, over against the simpler idea of temperatures everywhere in every circumstance rising.

    Rose, like W?Well, Jason, I certainly would not expect Charlie Rose's interviewing style to please you, so your remark is not surprising.  As I suggested, it makes me impatient too, very often.
    But journalism contains many genres.  There are many ways to conduct an interview, and those various styles get different results, and all of those results can be useful.  Tim Rennert, Jim Lehrer, George Stephanopoulos, Wolf Blitzer, Mike Wallace, Geraldo Rivera, Oprah Winfrey, and everybody in the White House press corps, just to name some examples, all have unique and personal ways of asking questions and eliciting responses.  Is it fair to make oneself a Procrustes of journalism, and force them all to fit the same quantifiable standard of acceptability?
    Charlie Rose obviously is well-loved.  The PBS folks have been running him for many years now, no?, which must count for something.  While he was ill and hospitalized and off the show this past year, a great number of fans showed their support for him, and a number of guest hosts gladly stepped in.
    Rose should not be underestimated.  In this respect at least he is like George W. Bush: it is easy to underestimate his intelligence.  (Yes, I think that W. is in some ways clever and adroit.  That is not meant as a compliment, because however far his cleverness goes, it is not accompanied by intellectual curiosity, or by moral wisdom.)  In fact, for Rose to do his job well, as for any interviewer, he needs to prepare with a good deal of research, and a lot of reading.  And I believe he has done his job well for many years.
