September 25th, 2005 10:48 PM

Roy Hallums, the American hostage rescued September 7, 2005 appeared on 60 Minutes to discuss how life was when he was held captive and when he returned home. Lesley Stahl conducted the interview and tried ever so hard to get Roy to give an anti-Bush remark.

STAHL: Has anyone from our government called you, like our President?
HALLUMS: No
STAHL: Senator?
HALLUMS: No
STAHL: Congressman?
HALLUMS: No
STAHL: Noone?
HALLUMS: No
STAHL: Nothing?
HALLUMS: No, no one has called me.
STAHL: How do you feel about that? (with a huge grin)
HALLUMS: If nobody calls thats small potatoes compared to what I was in. You know, I'm just happy to be back.

Lesley, I think the man is just glad to be alive. Sorry not everyone would like to find some way to blame Bush for everything like you.
