Here's CNN's Larry King, winner of 10 CableACE Awards for best interviewer and for best talk show series, interviewing first daughter Jenna Bush about the war in Iraq.

King: Do you feel funny, because every interviewer has to ask, to be asked questions about Iraq, your thoughts on Iraq?

Bush: Um-hmm. So you're asking me a question about Iraq?

King: Yes. What do you think?

Bush: Well, you know, that's -- I don't feel like I'm an expert. I -- you know, I'm not. And I think it's a very complicated situation. And, obviously, I respect the men and women who are over there sacrificing their lives for us. But, you know, I don't feel qualified to talk about it.

King: How do you handle the criticism about it? You don't take it personal?

Bush: No. I mean it's -- yes, no.

King: Not your decision?

Bush: Yes.

King: OK.
