<snip>

Sources also tell the Political Bulletin that two more names appear to be the main beneficiaries of Rove's departure as senior adviser to the President. West Wing insiders are saying that Chief of Staff Josh Bolten will gain influence because he will now decide who will do Rove's many jobs. Rove's exit allows Bolten to name people loyal to him, and to consolidate his authority. In addition, the insiders tell the Bulletin that Karen Hughes, one of Bush's closest confidantes, could be reassigned from the State Department back to the White House, where she served as communications czar during Bush's first term.

By Edwin C. Pauzer (New York City) - See all my reviews


I completely recommend this book if you like being underwhelmed, or if you want to be whipped into a catatonic stupor. If you must read it, get it from the library so you won't feel like you did when you bought the Ding King from the TV commercial. (As for the writing style, I'm not sure our president can push a subject against a predicate, at gunpoint.) If this was written by a ghostwriter, he or she should be taken out and shot.

As for the veracity of the text, don't believe it. Karen Hughs, the probable ghostwriter, called up Bush's former national guard base after he became governor, or the national guard's commander-in-chief. She told the commander she wanted to be able to check his records. Translation: I'm going to purge anything bad about him before I write his book.

George's words ring as hollow as his vaunted national guard record and his smirking heir of superiority. This book says that he continued to fly for a number of years, which was patently false. After his two million dollars worth of training, he tried to get a slot in the Air Force post office of another base in Alabama. He was turned down. Then, he refused to take his flight physical. Flight physicals are orders, not requests. Years later, Karen Hughes would tell a cowed press that Bush didn't take the physical because his personal physician was in Houston. No one questioned that these exams are given by Air Force flight surgeons, period.

This book was not only inaccurate, but dull and too self-serving. I recomment it only as a Christmas gift for a person you only pretend to like. (Don't forget to add drums and trumpets for his or her children too.) The collapse should be total.

By page 5 this book was by my bedside as a cure for insomnia. (A Charge to Sleep.) If you have a choice of painting on New Year's Eve and watching it dry, or reading this, go with the paint.

If someone gives this to you, change your home phone number. It can only mean he or she really doesn't like you.

Look for this book in a clearance bin near you.
