Bush Takes His Turn on ‘Oprah’ CHICAGO(AP) — George W. Bush told Oprah and her millions o f female viewers he gave up drinking because alcohol “was beginning to compete for my affections.” And when asked about his “favorite dream,” he grinned and raised his right hand, as if taking the presidential oath. But he was careful about baring too m uch on W infrey’s TV show T uesday. T he talk show diva noted that he had said in his G O P acceptance speech that he needed forgiveness. W hen did he need it? she w anted to know. “ Right now ," he said, to laughter. “ I ’m looking for specifics," she persisted. “ I know you are,” he said, “but I’m running for president.” T hat brought more laughter and applause from W infrey's studio au dience as she taped her popular syn dicated show. Both Republican Bush and Demo crat A1 G ore — w ho answ ered ques tions from the sam e chair a week ea rlier— are actively courting unde cided w om en voters. A nd women view ers are w hat W infrey has. A lternately serious and playful. Bush fielded questions for an h o u r— on his parents, his relig io n , his dream s, his likes and dislikes. G o re ’s p erfo rm an ce had been w idely praised and som e Republi cans had feared that W infrey, a con tributor to D em ocratic cam paigns, m ight be a difficult host. But they got along sm oothly. And Bush gave W infrey som ething she h ad n ’t received from G ore: a kiss on the cheek. “ No kiss?” she had said to G ore, pretending to be hurt. Bush, 54, turned serious when re counting his decision to give up drink ing at age 40 after a binge with friends in C olorado Springs, Colo. A lthough he has told the story before. Bush gave extra em phasis to the im pact his drinking had had on his w ife Laura and their twin daughters, now 18.
