Editorial Notebook: It’s pleasant enough when presidents appear on talk shows. Nothing wrong with it. They’re all doing it since Clinton did his Arsenio bit with the sax (not the trumpet, as I had it in an earlier version until corrected by a friend. I must’ve freuded the Clinton memory with Dante’s judgment in the Inferno: “And he had made a trumpet of his ass.”) I imagine the littler Bush went on Leno and Obama did Letterman before and after Letterman was cancelled (he went on his “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction”), Trump is on a right wing talk show on TV or radio very six hours, and now Biden on Seth Myers (no the oddest choice: Myers is a gentler Maddow on NBC’s network). But it wasn’t an impressive appearance. The audience applauded dutifully, a few times. Myers tried to ask a few questions but didn’t go further than his initial attempt when he touched on age, so it wasn’t nearly enough. He let Biden get away with a one liner that was so obviously prepared, it might as well have been on the cue cards. The little lapel pin of the American and Ukrainian flags was a clever touch. Glad it wasn’t an American and Israeli pin, though that’s probably in his breast pocket. At least twice he stopped in mid-thought with an “anyway, don’t want to get started,” as if he’d forgotten he’d used the line already, and when he was barely finished. He was careful, slow, pre-packaged. Fine. The point he made–that it’s not how old one is, it’s the ideas that matter–was a strong one, if made weakly. But for all that, it’s still disheartening that he goes on a TV talk show but refuses to meet the press face to face, to engage in serious, sustained questioning. He’s got to break out of the cocoon, not to keep reminding us of Cocoon.

What a strange phenomenon is the drug of hope. I was to hear this explanation from countless governors and soldiers across the Middle East over the coming quarter of a century—Westerners as well as Muslims—all insisting that things were getting worse because they were getting better, that the worse things were, the better they would become.
–From Robert Fisk’s The Great War for Civilization: The Conquest of the Middle East (Knopf 2005).
