i had copies, hooray, hooray. but people came in right away asking for it who i don't think knew about it before. right. (paulson) how many copies before the controversy and how many after? it sold 13,000 copies a day before the controversy, which was in late november. and on january 1st, it was up to 100,000. [audience gasps] and that--that really reinforces, carolivia-- astonishing. yeah, hooray, hooray, yes. every country has its own siberia, and that's our siberia, yeah. (blume) nevertheless, we would rather not-- it's true; isn't it funny? be censored. and what i'm hearing here is very interesting, because we're hearing two examples of books that were challenged because they offended this group or that group. and i'm not talking about page 200 and whatever-- right. and whatever that reference to sexuality is-- which is different. i mean, this is a growing problem. i see it as a growing problem where it was once-- you know, the extreme religious right that came after my books. it's as if everyone now has permi

hooray! [cheering and applause] so what do we do, boss? >> the struggles of middle-class families were a big problem before the recession hit in 2007. they weren't created overnight, and the truth is our economic challenges are not going to be solved overnight. >> jon: but by monday... [laughter] monday? you got a plan? >> one of the most important and urgent things we can do for the economy is something that both parties are working on right now, and that's reducing our nation's deficit. >> jon: phew. well, thank god we know what to do, and that's not going to be too hard, right? >> we're going to have to tackle spending in the tax code to make it easier for entrepreneurs to patent a new product, rebuilding our transportation structure, eliminate waste, tackle

hip, hip hooray to george bush. >> >> stephen:, yes, three cheers for george bush. unless you're in a gagged position, in which case try three grunts. folks, it went down like this... [cheers and applause] here's how the whole thing played out. we water boarded khalid sheikh mohammed, obviously after this picture was taken because he clearly hadn't touched water for some time. now, at some point, at some point ksm gave up the nickname of one of bin laden's couriers. we followed that courier and that's how we nailed bin laden, therefore validating torture. but the "i want to be able to look my children in the eye" crowd refused to admit torture is the real hero here. >> torture is not moral. it's not legal. it's not effective. >> it was not torture or cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment of detainees that got us the major leads that ultimately enabled our intelligence community to find osama bin laden. >> all of our experience shows you generate better, more accurate information when you treat prisoners humanely, when you befriend them, when you connect with them. >>

. >> not like you'd go hooray and celebrate. >> no, not at that point.that point. >> but if the mood in the o.r. is business-like and calm, the waiting room is anything but. there's a rush of emotions. everybody cries. everyone. ibrahim has been nervously smoking a cigarette when he gets the news. all the months of worry, responsibility, lifted in an instant. he embraces nasser. and faints. >> translator: even if i had 100 years, i could never explain to you what i felt right then. >> he obviously was pretty wound up, and the release of that tension must have been amazing. for him, for everybody. >> he just dropped on the floor. and while he was on the floor, he was babbling with words, he says "it's impossible. it's impossible." he said, "i don't know how to thank you or what -- how to reward you for this." >> but there's still hours of work to be done. >> the expanders had come out, and you were left with tissue that was stretched out. membranes of tissue. so then we take those membranes and we sew them back in to create a complete membrane over the br

at this point some people shouted, hooray for george! and others yelled, good-bye, george. [laughter] roosevelt explained that the president's job was to work with congressmen and senates to translate progressive objectives into action. but he complained that some of them gave only lip service to those objectives without even raising their little fingers actively to attain them. now, my friends, what i'm about to say will be no news. let me make it clear that senator george is, and i hope always will be, my personal friend. [laughter] he is beyond question, beyond any possible question a gentleman and a scholar. and then with george quietly seated just a few feet behind him on the podium, the president lowered the boom. here in georgia my old friend, the senior senator from this state, cannot possibly in many my judgment -- in my judgment be classified as belonging to the liberal school of thought. on most public questions, he and i do not speak the same language. i have no hesitation in saying that if i were able to vote in the september primaries in this state, i most ass
