Newsworthy.......
Once again Julie is a hot international news commodity. As you may know she was President G.W. Bush's secretary for four years back in the good old days when Dubya was a lowly independent oilman. Over the last year or so we have hosted news and documentary film crews from the BBC in Britain and the Arte Television Channel of France and Germany wanting to learn the inside scoop on George and how Midland has made the man.
Today, through our agent Natalie at Jessica's Well we filmed with a crew from Dutch public television. We met at the site of the President's boyhood home, not far from our estate, which is now being transformed into a tourist destination. I wasn't privy to Julie's interview but knowing her it went well. She looked lovely and I'm sure the audience in Holland will be impressed with her wit and wisdom. Producer Sander Warmerdam is a genial fellow as were his interviewer and cameraman and we enjoyed spending part of an afternoon with them. I think this also tells us something about the state and direction of the US media. Three seperate European news organizations have sent reporters out here to the hinterlands to find out more of what makes President Bush who he is and as far as I know, not one single American reporter has bothered to show up. Go figure.
Sander and crew are in the US to chronicle the last days of the election process by visiting small town America, starting out in Midland and driving cross country to Boston....from Bush to Kerryland as they described it. You can catch his journey at his weblog Amerika Kiest. I suspect we'll be mentioned tomorrow. Hope your Flemish is better than mine.
