Sapiens, I appreciated that Edmund Morris clip. The idea of meeting 80 people a day, all of whom want something from you, is just mind boggling. Perhaps that's why governors have done so well in running for president and senators haven't in recent years; on a smaller scale, the governor has had to deal with the same kind of attention seekers (I'm not saying senators DON'T have such, but it wouldn't seem to be to the same degree).

My vote was that she'd had her meeting with Bush, and nothing for either of them would be accomplished by another. Her message is loud and clear for anyone to hear that cares to, but he simply can't give in to meet her again after she pulled a stunt like this. It would set a bad precedent for him and perhaps future presidents.
