a nice bit of non-presidential insight

now playing: eurogliders, "no action"


from an interview about his book, "american sucker", author david denby makes an interesting observation:

"In this country, there's a feeling that if you admit error, your authority collapses. Look at the Bush administration," he said. "But I think that's wrong. If you admit error, people trust you more. So I thought, in writing the book, the only authority is the authority of words. It's my job to tell the truth. And I hope people feel it has some resonance."



hear, hear.
