“I know this is arrogant for me to say, but I’ve redefined the Republican Party.”
- former President George Walker Bush
Matt Latimer, one of former Pres. Bush’s (43) speechwriters (and also former chief speechwriter to Donald Rumsfeld), recently offered GQ Magazine with an exclusive excerpt from his upcoming book “Speech-less: Tales of a White House Survivor.” The exposé offers a glimpse into what life was like during some of the final days of one of the most epic presidential administrations in American history. From the economic meltdown to the ongoing 2008 Presidential campaign, Latimer reveals some of the former President’s most frustrating, and most human, moments. It’s another lengthy read, but it’s virtually impossible to not go through the piece from start to finish. The book hasn’t been released yet, but the excerpt offers a pretty good feel of what to expect. I highly recommend.

This guy has received some flack in the MSM from pundits such as James Carvel. I love what this kid did. Why not let the American people know when the administration has no clue what they are doing. We need to know that there are times when the policy being implemented have no justifications and no substance to correct problems. The main thing that has been missing in politics and all of the world is accountability. It’s about damn time.
McClellan’s book took a lot of heat as well, but I think the interesting thing about Latimer’s account is that it takes a more fly-on-the-wall approach to what life was like working for the former President. He was just a speech-writer, but he was obviously very observant as to what he saw and heard going on around him. I didn’t bother reading McClellan’s book because based on the tone of it, I felt like he either a) had a personal axe to grind with the administration or b) simply wanted to capitalize on Bush’s incredible unpopularity.
