WASHINGTON – The Bush legacy-protection machinery isn't in full gear yet. But it's getting there, with former aides gathering online to share talking points and swap spin.

"We were there. And as members of the team, we know the difference between rumor, reality, fact, and fiction. This is our chance to stand up, speak up, and set the record straight," says the Web site dedicated to the task.

The Bush-Cheney Alumni Association Web site, 43alumni.com, appeared last week as a link from the Web site of the George W. Bush Foundation, which is raising funds to build the Bush presidential library and policy institute at Southern Methodist University.

Bush critics warned from the outset that the SMU project could stray from biography and academics into hagiography and polemics. The reams of laudatory press clippings loaded on the alumni site, with nary a naysayer to be found, might prompt an "I told you so."

1. I know a WH Staffer (no names) but not an appointee.

Someone who worked on a specific task and whose position does not change with administrations.

Long story short, politics aside: "Yes, Bush really was a complete idiot. Yes, he was rude and egoistical without merit. Laura, is really a bitter chain smoker. Nobody was to look at Condi or address her without being spoken to first. Cheney really is not a very likable person." I found the Condi one odd...she really is the sanctimonious product of two schoolteachers and thinks she is smarter than everyone else without actually being.

This person also did not like the Clinton's treatment of some of the staffers. Citing a secret service guy getting the boot for Chelsea forgetting her homework.

7. Condi was the definition of a token

Rumsfeld and everyone else treated her like one would treat a house pet. She's stupid, incompetent, but, most of all, a black female, so perfect to exhibit diversity while having old white men run things.

3. we know the difference between rumor, reality, fact, and fiction -

Rumor is that the Bush adminitration is the worst ever.
The reality can be seen, felt, heard all around the world
The fact - ITS A FACT
The Fiction is what you *holes will be spreading as you swap stories!

4. Wow. It's like Freeperville puts on ties and gets drinks with

little parasols in them.

Same shit, different venue. You can dress 'em up, but you can't take 'em anywhere.

To find that many delusional people in one place.
