It's a fleeting moment, captured in video and shared. It's great.
I wanted to hear the background behind the YouTube video and you told the story.

I shot that with a Nokia N93 cell phone, compressed the mp4 video file with FCP's Compressor to H.264, and then uploaded to blip.tv.
No editing.

JOHN EDWARDS,
SAW YOU WITH TIM RUSSETT THIS MORNING. BILL
John, Keep on the trail. With a good showing in the next 4 primaries, youcould get the #2 slot on my ticket. Why, though, can't you say the following:
"I'm bringing the troops home now. Yes, there will be a blood bath, but there's nothing more we can do for you. It was stupid to invade, but that's
done with now. Saddam's gone. You're making your own future, and you're off to a bad start."
"Git yoreself another strong man. It's the only thing you seem to understand. And, oh yeah, keep up the bloody civil war until you kill off all the religious zealots. One of these days maybe you'll figure out that religion is the whole
tragic problem."
I have no idea of what will come out of the Senate debate on Iraq, but the American people won't put up with short-shifting our troops on support. If there's no way to stop Bush from escalating, you're a dead man if you cut off the funds. Make yourself very clear on this.
Medicare and Social Security -- good sense. I presume you have universal
medical care in your plans. I didn't hear you say that. * You don't have all the
answers, but you're not afraid of raising taxes. Appreciate your candor. We need another Baker-Hamilton study group on this one. * I frankly don't know what Hillary did wrong, but Newt and the Republican wave would have destroyed any legitimate project.
Be aware that the economy is cooking along fairly well right now with a low unemployment rate. It can absorb new taxes, but the sky is not the limit.
Iran -- Of course they can develop nuclear power peacefully. Diplomatically,
and with good sense, Iranian voters can be weaned away form Ahmanejahd.
It'll take patience, but keep in mind Iran hasn't instigated attacks against neighbors. * North Korea -- Those are the guys you have to keep your eyes
on.
Gay marriage. What the hell. Quit stumbling on that one. Let it go. It's a
state issue. Don't even stick you nose in. * The gay lobby is silly to get hung
up on the word marriage instead of civil partnership, but let them go. They'll
eventually learn something about what's do-able. * And quit with this "Aw shucks, I'm just a good old Souther Baptist boy." Grow up. You're 53 years old. Time enough for you to have sheded that hocus-pocus.
Stem cell research -- surely you've said yes to this. It's a no-brainer.
CONTACT ME 24/7 FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTION.
