said chow bella. now, i don't remember doing it, but i'm sure that i did. i do kiss people on the forward. i do kiss people on the cheek. i do kiss people on the hand. i do embrace people. i do hug people. men and women. i do on occasion say chow bella, on occasion, i do slip and say sweetheart or darling or honey. i do banter with people. i do tell jokes. some better than others. i am the same person in public as i am in private. you have seen me do it on tv through all my briefings and for 40 years before that. i try to put people at ease. i try to make them smile. i try to connect with them.
