Re: What is your question?

Description: Novelli wants to ask politicians, "Why can't you fight nice?"

Question: Whom would you like to interview and what would you ask?

Transcript: Oh what a hard question. That’s a terrific question. I would like to interview three people. I’d like to put three people in the room at one . . . at one time: the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi; Harry Reid, the majority leader in the Senate; and President Bush. And I’d like to . . . I’d like to say to them, you know, “When I was a kid I had a favorite aunt – Aunt Jay. And she’d come into the room, and the cousins would all be smacking each other around, and Aunt Jay would say, ‘Now fight nice.’” And I would like to say to Nancy, and Harry, and George, “Why can’t you fight nice?”

Question: What should we be asking ourselves?

Transcript: Well I . . . I think there are many questions we can ask ourselves; but one question is what did you do with the dash? What am I leaving behind? What’s my legacy? And of course, you know you don’t have to leave the great pyramids at Giza behind; but what is it that we can say we left behind?I dedicated my book to my mother and my mother-in-law. And I did that because they were . . . they were women who raised families. They cared about other people, and I think they left a legacy. And that’s the question.
