[I]n response to Carlson asking him for his impressions regarding Karla Faye's interview on the Larry King show, prior to her execution [...]
"He (Larry King) asked her real difficult questions, like, `What would you say to Governor Bush?'"
"What was her answer?" I (Tucker Carlson) wonder.
"`Please,' Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, `don't kill me.'"
[...]
As it turns out,
the Larry King-Karla Tucker exchange Bush recounted never took place, at least not on television. During her interview with King, however, Tucker did imply that Bush was succumbing to election-year pressure from pro-death penalty voters.
Apparently Bush never forgot it. He has a long memory for slights.
(Emphasis mine.)
Interesting huh? Did Bush have a mistaken memory about the interview, sparked by his anger with Karla Faye? Or was his recollection to Tucker Carlson a complete fabrication, because he didn't want to admit to "pressure from pro-death penalty voters?"
It seems perfectly logical to me that, in George Bush's sick little narcissistic mind, he'd rather be perceived as a cruel, mocking bully than as someone too cowardly to go against the will of the voters.
