Anyone Have The Scoop On This?



"Alexandra Pelosi captured this private George Bush in a documentary, "Journeys With George," that is spellbinding in the way it gets him to lower his guard. Pelosi co-directed the film with Aaron Lubarsky; it airs on HBO tonight.

Pelosi, a network television producer (who happens to be the daughter of San Francisco's Democratic congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi), filmed Bush on the campaign trail in 1999 and 2000...

It's clear Pelosi relished her role as one of Bush's favorite journalists. Was Bush aware that she would eventually edit the film and insert some unflattering remarks, such as when she criticizes his stump speeches? Or that she would highlight the scenes of him drinking beer? Or that it would feature fun music and sometimes silly narration that would give the film additional levity? He took his chances."
