The Washington Post reported Monday that in the book -- "Dead Certain: The Presidency of George Bush" -- journalist Robert Draper reveals that Bush was intent on picking Cheney as his running mate, despite his warnings against it."Selecting Daddy's top foreign-policy guru ran counter to message. It was worse than a safe pick -- it was needy," Draper quotes Rove as saying.
I don't think the Needy One will be very happy to have Turdblossom saying things like that.
There should be lots of things to make you feel even more aghast at the administration (if that's possible), such as this great visual:
The book by Draper, a longtime Washington correspondent, also reports that Bush took an informal poll of his top advisers in April 2006 on whether to fire defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld.During a private dinner at the White House, seven advisers voted to dump Rumsfeld, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, incoming chief of staff Joshua Bolten, outgoing chief Andrew Card, and Ed Gillespie, then an outside adviser and now White House counselor.
Bush reportedly raised his hand along with three others who wanted Rumsfeld to stay, joined by Rove and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley.
So, of course, Rumsfeld stayed. At least until the GOP lost Congress in November.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
