We are limited to network since cutting the cable four years ago so I'm really happy Colbert has such good guests!

My kids don't have cable here, so I'll have to wait for the video-- frustrating, but fingers crossed the whole thing will be online.
If anyone finds a link to the interview, please post it here!

I don't get how he manages to look rested - when I've seen news accounts of him for the last two weeks being in London/Germany and elsewhere, then in DC meeting for 2 days with an India summit, then being with the Pope, and then hosting the Chinese, followed by days at the UN. His PUBLIC schedule alone for the last two weeks had to be exhausting, but he doesn't look it.

Great to see that he doesn't need a cane any longer.

I noticed the lack of a cane right away and I'm very glad he's healed. As for looking so happy and rested, I have a completely unfounded guess: in the clip showing him leaving the theatre, above, is that possibly his daughter Alex with him? If so, perhaps he's been having grandchild therapy!!!

And if so, it is surely far more efficiently than any drug.

Plus; hi to Luftmensh and Ginny . Hope everything is OK.We didnt saw you here since quite a while.

I would guess that the iran deal being done really has to be something he is justifiably proud of - knowing he really did do what he committed to do as a young man. (Not to mention being publicly honored with a hand shake by the Pope is a pretty amazing thing.)

I don't think - other than in his led to his fiancee when his friend Pershing had been killed - he ever spoke as directly of having a goal to make peace or prevent war. Maybe because it was so close to the core of who he is and many speak the words but don't do the work. One thing I was surprised by this year was how much harder it was to get the public and Congress to agree to diplomacy than it had been to get them to agree to go to war in 2003. Even when people explained that there were no real new risks in going the diplomatic route, it was a heavy lift.
