When White House press secretary Dana Perino was told that 77 percent of the country thought we were on the wrong track, she said what I was thinking: “Who on earth is in the other 23 percent?” I knew who they were — the same people supporting the John McCain campaign. Me? I figured there was no way in hell any Republican would vote for that guy. John McCain, the temperamental media darling, had spent most of the past eight years running against the Republican Party and the president — Republicans on Capitol Hill and at the White House hated him. Choosing John McCain as our standard-bearer would be the height of self-delusion. It would be like putting Camilla Parker Bowles in charge of the Princess Diana Foundation.

Matt Latimer was a young speechwriter for George W. Bush in his last two years in office. There are a few excerpts from his upcoming book, SPEECH-LESS, in this month’s GQ Magazine.
Note: I wrote the above, then took a nap. When I sat back down at my computer later to finish it, I had this email from Ralph [ShrinkRap]:

Excerpt from a new book by former Bush speech writer. Maybe trying to beef up book sales, but to my ears this paints a devastating picture of dubya (as if we didn’t already know that).

I think this book is going to be a must read. Bush comes off as a total dufus who is interested in his legacy, but otherwise CLUE-LESS, CARE-LESS, and AIM-LESS…
Leaving us SPEECH-LESS…
