No - The Bush administration has no integrity, Charlie. Are you a corporatist or in denial? All you have to do is observe this deplorable Democratic primary to understand the dysfunction, and seemingly paralyzed, government and weakened democracy. Corporate media and interests undermine an effective democracy by failing to provide honest information, criticism, and disclosure of the unprecedented poverty in the U.S. compared to the obscene wealth of corporate CEOs and the economic policies that allow it. Maybe Milton Friedman was wrong. It seems neoliberal, or pure capitalism, don't lead to freedom but rather despotism.

Well well well, it looks like Charlie Rose has offended yet another American giant. I bet Charlie Rose feels idiotic now, in 2008, for having questioned Gore Vidal's judgment. Gore Vidal said the following a few years ago when supposedly 75% of the American public approved of the Iraq War and Bush's policies, "Mark my words. He will leave office the most unpopular president in history. The junta has done too much wreckage." As expected, he was right. Too bad Charlie Rose offended him; it doesn't look like he'll be back.
