Alessandra Stanley for the NY Times has an account of Bush on "Larry King Live" on CNN.
Stanley begins by comparing Bush to Star Jones, Mary Kay Letourneau, and Ken Lay immediately following his indictment. Her best snark, however, though overtly directed at King, has plenty of richochet to make Bush look incredibly lame by his presence on the program in the first place.
"Mr. King gave the president a chance to defend his policies without risk of interruption or follow-up."
"At times, Mr. King even provided the president with answers."
"Even when he ventured into areas like the war in Iraq, public opinion polls or the president's past friendship with Mr. Lay, Mr. King looked less like an interrogator than a hotel concierge gently removing lint from a customer's coat."
"It wasn't live, but it was classic Larry King: a warm bath, not a hot seat."
