Guess he wasn’t reading Brand W in 2007 like we were.
I have to admit, that’s kind of funny, what he said there.
I would totally buy this book because I always pictured Bush’s speechwriters just mainlining gin whenever he got up to speak their words, and I’d like to know what they really thought. I mean, think about it: As a serious writer (as opposed to the crap I get paid for), your dream would be to write the historic words spoken by a president. You finally get your shot… and it’s BUSH. The man gave me a stomachache whenever he spoke, because it was like watching a real-life nightmare where you’re public speaking and have no idea what you’re saying or if you’re even saying it right. And that’s just me sitting in my house; he wasn’t reading MY words. And that’d be after they’d have dumbed down all the prose they dreamt of writing for a president. Those poor, poor guys.
