Another Book About Fuckhead. Says He "Hit The Roof" Re Rove/Plame


In "Dead Certain: The Presidency of George Bush," journalist Robert Draper writes that Rove told Bush he should not tap Cheney for the Republican ticket: "Selecting Daddy's top foreign-policy guru ran counter to message. It was worse than a safe pick -- it was needy." But Bush did not care -- he was comfortable with Cheney and "saw no harm in giving his VP unprecedented run of the place."

snip

In the CIA leak scandal, Rove assured Bush, Draper reports, that he had known nothing about Valerie Plame, a CIA operative whose covert status was revealed by administration officials to reporters after Plame's husband criticized the administration's case for war in Iraq. "When Bush learned otherwise," he said, "he hit the roof."

Bush considered whether to cooperate with the book for several months, Draper reports. The two men met for the first time on Dec. 12, 2006, and at the conclusion, the president agreed to another interview. In one of the interviews, he looked ahead to his post-presidency, talking of his plans to build an institute focused on freedom and to "replenish the ol' coffers" by giving paid speeches.

He told Draper he could see himself shuttling between Dallas and Crawford. Noting that he ran into former president Bill Clinton at the United Nations last year, Bush added, "Six years from now, you're not going to see me hanging out in the lobby of the U.N."

11. It would be nice to get Rove on the stand to back up these statements...
but he'll probably be in Dubai by that time helping Haliburton conveniently beyond the reach of subpoenas to prepare the palace for Cheney and Bush when they "retire" there as board members.

17. What will the Republican voter do when they see the direct correlation
between that attempt to purchase our docks, and Halliburton's move to Dubai?

Does Dubai have a military Air force yet? That would be the final domino.

13. The Bushco library will not have chairs it will have liar's benches.
The entire thing will be the fiction section.

The final resting place will have this written on the stone..."Here lies the truth, because it NEVER came out!"
