...driving him crazy. Last week both candidates took turns answering questions from callers on Today. This week Clinton does MTV. Enough! The Commander in Chief is girding himself for Talk Show '92. Bush's aides are subtly soliciting Larry King, Barbara Walters and other chat-masters. Rush Limbaugh has been spotted bunking down at 1600 Pennsylvania. How about Regis and Kathy Lee?
