      The last 20 minutes of this show (9/6/07) is missing. It was drawn from Mr. Rose's previous conversations with L. Pavaroti and was so inspiring I have recommended it to many of my friends.

      We hope that you can retrieve it and include it on the archive of this show. Many thanks, M

      Hello America, I'm posting this comment from neutral little Switzerland.

      About the interview I would like to say: Interesting how Mr. Draper starts out by calling the "Stupid-Bush-Clichees" a caricature, and then goes on to reveal fact after painful fact about how stupid, dangerously stupid, the current president is, and continues to be.

      About the comments: I was expecting a discussion maybe a couple of notches above the level you'd find on Youtube. How interesting then, to read about haircuts, nazi-colored suits and boomboxes at Barnes & Noble. Could it be that America deserves its president after all?

      The Charlie Rose Show is superb. I never miss it. I depend on it for intelligent discussion of current issues. Missed Charlie terribly while he was ill. Nobody interviews people like Charlie Rose!!! I also watch Bill Moyer but he only comes on once per week. Cant live without you, Charlie Rose so take good care of your heart so we will have you for a long time. You really do have a dream job and you do it so well. America needs you.

      I cannot believe people have such strong views about this interview. I thought it was one of the best conversations about Bush I have ever seen.

      Draper actually seems to be critical of Bush personally, but the rhetoric is masterfully communicated.

      Very interesting interview. I can't wait until it's available so I can watch it again. However, I hated the haircut, and almost turned the tv off and went to bed because of it. I'm glad my better judgment prevailed. I did like his suit. The chocolate color was flattering on him.

      You are given the opportunity to purchase the DVD of the show if you wish to have it in your library. You do know what a DVD library is don't you? If you collect movies whether they are action, comedies, dramas or whatever, you are also being given the opportunity to collect historical DVDs on some of the greatest guests Charlie Rose has had on his program. Charlie's archives of guests he has had on his shows for well over 10 years now have a wealth of knowledge to share that you might do well to consider taking advantage of. A virtual historical library in which I for one fan of Charlie Rose, appreciate and intends to build a collective library of Charlie Rose DVDs such as the likes of everyone that I am interested in from Warren Buffet, Cokie Roberts, Richard Branson and a whole host of many other very interesting conversations Charlie has had with people from all walks of life. That is what makes him so interesting is because people LIKE talking to him and I LIKE listening.

      I've never been to this site before, and I just don't get it. Why would I want to "buy" a clip which Public Television viewers have already paid for? I wanted to hear Luciano Pavarotti once more, but will not pay to hear the interviews, especially inasmuch as they contain so much of that cloying, annoying Charlie Rose prattle.

      Great interview w/Draper this evening; nice haircut as well, Charlie - thanks for your program - love it
