Book said to include hilarious behind-the-scenes moments

Players in the Bush Administration are holding their breath in anticipation of a tell-all book, penned by a man who had a front row seat for the two-term president's time in office.

Matt Latimer, the speechwriter for George W. Bush, defense secretaries Donald Rumsfeld and Robert Gates, and Republican Sens. Jon Kyl (Ariz.) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.), is coming out with a behind-the-scenes account of the Bush years, which is sending some folks into panic, The Washington Post reported.

While the book is still under wraps and not due out until September, rumors have been circulating about its content. Besides humorous anecdotes -- like the time Bush quite seriously said his dog Barney was the son he never had -- Latimer names names and recounts who said what about Sarah Palin's vice presidential nomination, Obama's victory and the criticism that forced Bush to withdraw Harriet Mier's Supreme Court nomination.

Other reported details reveal Karl Rove's humorous reaction to the apparently lofty national security adviser, Stephen Hadley. To mock Hadley's habit of eating from a silver platter while his colleagues used plastic trays, Rove would occasionally serve the adviser from a shiny platter himself.

Also, there are accounts of bosses who had problems with remembering facts, and one who would lock himself in his office to avoid his staffers.

No one else has and the media whores have been too afraid to ask him...

:mad:

Fuck you BushCo, fuck you with a large stick.

Like "Big Brother" on CBS.
That's the ticket.

"Big Brother fucks up the world, starts two wars, kills a bunch of brown people and IZ-LAM-O-EX-STREAM-ISTS"

Dumb ass ditto monkeys ate it up and LOVED it.

The rest us of were not nearly as thrilled.

Big stick indeed tridem.

never thought of it in those terms before...

Cuz that's how they roll.

this is one book I've really GOT TO READ!!!

They could be hyping it so it will sell millions in the first weeks.


Once you open it, the writing could be like bu$hs speeches.


. eh eh.

How about some amusing anecdotes about faking the WMD evidence?

Or the bonding they experienced while wiretapping Americans?

I'm guessing it's going to be a heartwarming attempt to humanize the Bush administration while sweeping all their crimes under the rug.

Dozens of books and articles have come out about the failure and crimes of *. None have made much difference.

We dont know after all how much this guy really might know, he might know very little for example and the ones that do know stuff might still be willing to take a bullet for Bush/Cheney like Libby did to protect them.

Isn't that what we just got done hearing for 8 years?

The bickering of small people with big egos loses interest quickly.

"Turd blossom" mocking Hadley is tepid stuff.

bet making that little gem drew hilarious laughter from this peanut gallery of merry pranksters.
