I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good.

Laura Bush, it seems, is used to cast a softer light on her husband, who then proceeds to reverse whatever she's just promised.

Laura Bush is the same way. I mean, they both, um, understand, they understand the challenges of the moment and understand the responsibilities, he understands the responsibilities he has to protect the national security of America as well as the economic security of America.

There is something else at work here that is beyond me - and that is Laura. She has a life of her own. There is a magic in her. The muse is in her. And I'm lucky to have her in my life.

Oliver Stone might think he's a guy who chews with his mouth open and yells at the hired help, but the George W. Bush I've spent nearly three hours with is a warm, funny, smart, engaged, compassionate, patriotic, decent and honorable man.

I'm also working with Mrs. Bush on some education projects in Afghanistan, so I get to see her a great deal.

Whatever you may think of Mrs. Clinton as a character, I think she believes quite strongly in public service.

I love Carly Fiorina's fire; she's feisty as heck. She really seems to fearlessly take the fight right to the doorstep of the Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

I'll tell you, Liz Cheney is going to be a very good candidate. I worked with her during the Bush campaigns. She's smart, she's focused, she's disciplined - and she's got a great back story. She's got a large family. She's a great mom. And she's a hard worker. I think she's going to be a very effective campaigner.

Sarah Palin is brilliant. She is a media magnet and a media magnate. She creates headlines and draws crowds wherever she goes, whether it's 98 degrees in the desert of Arizona or below freezing in the snow of Wisconsin.
