In the new book that is causing “nervousness” amongst Bush loyalists, former speechwriter Matt Latimer reveals some of the dysfunction and disagreements in the Bush administration. HuffPost’s Ryan Grim reports:
– Donald Rumsfeld had to be talked out of editing his own entry on Wikipedia, which he referred to as “Wika-wakka.” He was a Drudge Report reader and used to watch YouTube clips that made fun of his press conference performances.
– Bush, when told that Idaho Sen. Larry Craig had been the latest GOPer to be caught in a sex scandal involving boys or men: “What is up with all these Republicans?”
– While Karl Rove was appearing on Fox News and writing op-eds as an independent political analyst, he was privately smearing Democrats. “Karl spread rumors through the White House that one of Obama’s potential vice presidential running mates — and a United States senator — had beaten his first wife. ‘Karl says it’s true,’ the president assured a small group of staffers. Then knowing Karl, he quickly added, ‘Karl hopes it’s true,” reports Latimer.
– For a commencement address at Furman University in spring 2008, Ed Gillespie wanted to insert a few lines condemning gay marriage. Bush called the speech too “condemnatory” and said, “I’m not going to tell some gay kid in the audience that he can’t get married.” (Of course, Bush ran his 2004 campaign telling that kid just that.)
– Bush on Jimmy Carter: “If I’m ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away.”

GDumbya was and is a total lunk-head. This book should be entitled “Animal House Goes to Washington”. It’s a wonder that this country ever survived this band of idiots.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:58 amAs far as I am concerned, we can put Bush away right now, in a federal prison for all his war crimes and torture responsibilities.

Your party of intolerance requires they live in a closet and ruin other peoples lives. Sucks to be a RePugniScum, right?

Gotta wonder if The Patriot Act came into play here…
September 21st, 2009 at 10:01 amFYI – The idiot-boy former-king, der Shrub speaks for the first time since retiring to Dallas this morning, 10:30am Central time on sportstalkradiostaion KTCK 1310AM, The Ticket.(you can listen live, maybe, their stream server often sucks)
Old-schooler Norm Hitzges will conduct the interview. Although he’s mostly a kind-hearted liberal, he will certainly be highly respectful and you should expect the majority of the topics to involve, what else, SPORTS.
But it’s truly the best chance you’ll get to hear Dumbya speak “off-the-cuff” (the little guy just loves to ramble-on about sports and of course, himself…)
September 21st, 2009 at 10:03 amhow revolting is this going to be?
slowly watching all the biggest fears confirmed after the fact?
get a front seat, oh you won’t need one, they’ll be on all the talk shows, talkin how what a long, crazy, adventure it all was.
nobody goes to jail. nobody even gets a hand slapped. in fact, please let me introduce you to the next contestants on dancing with the stars.
absolutely agonizing watching us do the collapse.

September 21st, 2009 at 10:08 am‘Karl says it’s true,’ the president assured a small group of staffers. Then knowing Karl, he quickly added, ‘Karl hopes it’s true,”
Even the White Wing admits KKKarl is a liar.
But, the joke’s on all of us…
KKKarl is still making big bucks as a professional liar. Granted, he’s only ‘worth’ 25% of what Palin gets for a captive dinner, (Rove = $16,000 vs Palin = $63,000), but her 15 months of fame is about over.
You see, KKKarl is above the law, but can lie to the public via ClusterFox 24/7…legally!
Something’s deeply wrong with our Country today when a known liar is paid handsomely to continue lying.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:12 am“I’m not going to tell some gay kid in the audience that he can’t get married.” (Of course, Bush ran his 2004 campaign telling that kid just that.)
No, see, Bush was perfectly willing to DENY the kid the opportunity to get married, he was just to cowardly to actually TELL the kid that.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:13 amSo now we know that not only is GWBush a dumbfock, but an a$$wipe too.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:19 amIt ain’t over yet, Tom; we are still in the midst of making repairs.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:23 amAssclowns of the Week #77 is up and waiting for comments. On the spit this week:
Fox and the Wa Po.
Joe Wilson and Democrats.
Orly Taitz.
Obama, Reid and Specter.
Max Baucus.
Teabaggers.
Gale Norton and much much more.
Still, in the balance, I miss putting George Bush on my Top Ten list.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:28 amchimpy was right about one thing- whazzup with all these Repiggie perverts?
September 21st, 2009 at 10:34 amChimpy should not be talking about putting somebody away.
Something my dad once told me about living in glass houses and throwing stones comes to mind.
Why wait until you’re 82 to find out Chimpy. Millions of us would applaud it happening today….like an international prison after your war crimes conviction.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:37 amSlightly off/topic but…
The cowboys lost their home opener. A new 1.15 BILLION dollar stadium….kinda sums up the previous administration. Spend egregious amounts of money on a monsterous overuse of land and get no results. Ha.

This is not news.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:42 amDon’t call them Bushies, that makes them seem cute and harmless which they definitely are not!
September 21st, 2009 at 10:47 amDonald Rumsfeld had to be talked out of editing his own entry on Wikipedia
He wanted to make the known unknowns into unknown unknowns, you know.
September 21st, 2009 at 10:48 amJust one more particular individual in that photo and a the thought of another ‘magic bullet’ comes to mind.
September 21st, 2009 at 11:05 am– Bush on Jimmy Carter: “If I’m ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away.”
I don’t think he has to worry. It’s hard to imagine that Bush would suddenly start helping people and telling the truth in his old age.
September 21st, 2009 at 11:16 am‘Karl says it’s true,’ the president assured a small group of staffers. Then knowing Karl, he quickly added, ‘Karl hopes it’s true,”
What? Are you telling me that Bush knows the difference? I don’t understand.

My reaction, exactly. Or start really attending church. Or supervising Third World elections. Or helping to build houses.
September 21st, 2009 at 11:20 amBush on Jimmy Carter: “If I’m ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away.
Don’t worry, Georgie. The problem has already been handled, although we did it through the ballot box. Funny thing is though, when we put you away, we also put away a lot of your party’s members in the last 2 election cycles. Now you’re afraid to show your face in public unless it’s at football games.

how long did hoover’s infamy last?
September 21st, 2009 at 11:37 am“– Bush on Jimmy Carter: “If I’m ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away.”
Have to be careful how I phrase this. King George, why wait till your 82. Why don’t you take one of those “Obama Death Pills”( the ones suggested for Kennedy from one of the sickie Repug senators), and become a bad memory today?
You would be so more appreciated if you left now, so your lingering stink can fade away a little faster.
Other than that, I think King George is the WAE- Worst American Ever!
September 21st, 2009 at 11:38 amMost of us would have been happy to put Bush away any time during his presidency — at least unlike Cheney he’s had the decency to STFU now.
September 21st, 2009 at 11:50 amStorm,
I am afraid your stupidity is permanent.
Pathetic
September 21st, 2009 at 12:02 pmYes, I heard the same rumor when the senator was running for office.
September 21st, 2009 at 12:08 pmAs long as you will you be a troll whore a$$h0le!!

We talk down to you because you have earned it.
Want respect? go to red state.
September 21st, 2009 at 12:23 pmMy stupidity can kick your stupidity everyday and twice on Sunday moron!!!
Do you have a birth certificate or just a collar and tag around your neck?
September 21st, 2009 at 12:32 pmI want to know how long this STORM is going to last. Obviously, we have to do something about global climate change. The hot air that blows through so frequently is downright aanoying at best and toxic at worst.
September 21st, 2009 at 12:34 pmdixie, the fartist formerly known as watchdog has no birth certificate – only pure-bred registered dogs get those. This one is just a mutt. And there is no collar and tag because no one claims the stray.
September 21st, 2009 at 12:35 pmWika Wakka, heh, thats actually kinda funny.
September 21st, 2009 at 1:05 pm“If I’m ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away.”
September 21st, 2009 at 1:26 pmBut it’s OK for Dick Cheney to spout off now that he’s out of office.
So Rumsfeld was trying to mess with his wika-wakka page. I thought he had guys who could make their own reality for all of us to observe.
September 21st, 2009 at 1:32 pmBush on Jimmy Carter: “If I’m ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away.”
President Carter helps the poor, the hungry, the sick, the dying, and the homeless people all over the world. George W. Bush tortures and murders them.
September 21st, 2009 at 1:46 pmI don’t know STORM. After a sitting president abuses the powers of office, sets up events to get Americans killed en masse, subverts the constitution and otherwise engages in treasonous and gross abuses of power – we may tend to remember them for a while.
OTOH – we’re still hearing from the repubs about Clinton did it.
September 21st, 2009 at 1:51 pmBush said (regarding former president Jimmy Carter)
September 21st, 2009 at 2:43 pmHave no fear Mr Bush, it is our intention to put you away long before you get to eighty-two years old.
STORM says:
How long will Bush derangement syndrome last?
If you’re referring to the inexplicable tendency of right-wing kooks to take him seriously as anything but a complete farcical stain on the face of the Presidency… hopefully not much longer.
September 21st, 2009 at 5:33 pmAmerica can take pride in its son, Jimmy Carter!!!
I can find nothing but contempt for Bush!!!!!!!!
The excerpts from this book confirm that contempt for that whole pack of traitors.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:27 pm“If I’m ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away.”
I’ll do it now…for free even.
September 21st, 2009 at 9:30 pmI have the PERFECT way for Dumbya to get written into the histroy books as a GREAT Precedent. ALl he needs to do is put the pistol at his right temple and pull the trigger, BUT, he also has to make sure Dick The Traitor Cheney is standing on his left, so that the bullet, which will pierce his empty skull, will then do what should have been done a long time ago.

How long will you keep being an ignorant punkass troll?
