as he discovered Dick Cheney undercutting him every step of the way. He'd worked with him for years and thought he knew him well. After observing Cheney's sinister dirty dealing, he began to wonder, "Who IS Dick, really?" That was scary.
And the part about one of the leaks- One of O'Neill's reports was leaked and Bush made that snide remark that disturbed O'Neill- something about O'Neill being a real "truth teller."
It had me wondering who REALLY had B*shie's ear and if that person was feeding him lies. Did someone tell Bush that O'Neill himself was the one who leaked the report?
F*cking scary. A paranoid boy king, easily manipulated by people w/ less than noble motivations. :scared:
how o'neill has disappeared from the media. when asked if he feared repercussions from the administration, o'neill replied by saying i'm old, and i'm rich so what can they do to me. well, it appears they've done something.
...at what an asshole Bush was (is?). Frankly after reading the book it seems Bush is not up to the job. Its like having Dan Quayle as president...though i think Quayle was sharper than Bush.
Cheney seemed to be running the show in the O'Neil book. Either that or Bush had "made his mind up" and didnt want to listen to different facts or POVs on issues. ...Bushes "I dont argue with myself" statement...which franky makes him sound like a real doof.
As Marilyn Quayle bitterly told The Arizona Republic, “the caricature they made of Dan in ‘88 is George W. It’s him. It wasn’t true about Dan. But it is him. ... A guy that never accomplished anything. ... Everything he got, Daddy took care of.”
so i haven't gotten all that far. yet, at any rate. there's some really... unctuous sounding language in there. it paints o'neill as too much of a nonpartisan saint. i'm sure it's full of good information... but i hate slogging through bad writing to get it.
I realized Yes things are as bad as I thought! O'Neill is telling me this? In this here book. Rut Row! Shaggy! :wow: I'm thinking we are really in some deep poo!
Read it and was disgusted and really pissed more than scared, it pretty much confirmed much of what i already considered conventional wisdon regarding the squatter-in-chief. I'm now working my way through American dynasty.
Paul O'Neill is a man of principle. It was quite obvious from his accounts and experiences in Bushco that there was no room for someone who wanted to do what was right for the American people. The more I read about this bunch of fanatical lunatics in charge of our government the angrier I get. We can only hope and pray that they will get their just rewards - a one way express trip to HELL!
