I take that to mean that while the solo format is a good thing, Cheney could prolly have gotten a solo format interview with chris matthews, but chris matthews wouldn't have been able to keep his own mouth shut during the interview to allow the Vice President to complete his answer. Hume, isn't one of the jerky guys looking for headlines, and while he clearly has partisan leanings, he is "always fair in his dealings" in an interview. He is respectful of the answer, not arrogant about the question. An example of that can be seen every night. in the. . . I think it is called the 3 segment of his show, he almost always has a one on one interview with an "expert" of some sort, and the only time he interrupts is for time, not to score a point. There was a time when Matthews was the same way, I remember during the first election of the President, Chris could relax enough to be a reporter, and interviewer, but he's lost that.

Can you imagine David Gregory getting quite so animated in a one on one interview and still expecting to be taken crebibly afterward? Well, I guess he could still expect it.
