billy bush to try to get his job back? i think that s partly what s going on here. clearly, clearly bush is just furious about the fact that the president is still the president and he s not on the air any longer. even though i was touched by the honesty of certain parts of his column, the notion that he was just chuckling along and didn t take donald trump s remarks seriously at the time reflects such a lack of understanding of what s going on, and it s not just in the wake of the harvey weinstein allegations, the sexual harassment charge and every bird. i stayed in terms of you heard on the tape. on the other hand, his willingness to come forward now and say okay, yes, i was wrong and he acknowledges that, but the president did say that. it is important.
