This is a left-wing hit-piece right out of the DUmpster.
What a crock.
This sounds like rumor mongering and gossip unchecked. It'll be on the alphabet networks tonight.
Pretty much the way I spend my day on FR.
Is one of those aides named Terry Wilkinson, Doug?
This thing already has been removed from the boards twice. Going for three.
Forgive me for doubting that anyone in the White Hose would pick up the phone for Doug Thompson.
Of course, it's possible that someone was in a pixieish mood and decided to feed him a line of BS, knowing he'd run with it.
When they get something believable with a named source I'll read it. Until then, this is GARBAGE.
And this is a bad thing because?
Counghing into hand: Bulls**t
This is a made-up piece of fodder for the truly ignorant. This is the second item from this publication that has a lot of unattributable quotes and an axe to grind. Let's do some quick research on the writer and the "newspaper".
Doug Thompson is a sick, lying b*stard.
LOL .... shocking
This ties right into the DNC talking points about linking "W" to Nixon -- remember the "Nixon too drunk" story a week or two ago? The next leftie attack on the President will be slurs and innuendo that he's fallen off the wagon and is drinking again...
OMG...the Crusaders are coming for us. This fits in with what Rush was just saying about Soros, and how the Left despises anyone who may believe in God. This is the culmination of picture the Left has been painting since the day Bush (and Ashcroft) stepped foot in office.
With Julian Bond's most recent speech about the Taliban (religious-right) wing of the Republican Party, the democrats have obviously got new talking points, to make Bush out to be some religious zealot.
Ironically, when confronted and asked just how Bush's religious beliefs have influenced America...nothing can be sited that most American's don't agree with (partial-birth/Gay Marriage).
Other than that, the opposite has actually been happening, as gay marriage has been proclaimed legal in one state...and the ACLU is removing every symbol of Christian existence in this country. Oh...and maybe the WH feels under siege because they are.
Total bullsh!t.
What/?!?!?! The only thing missing is roaming the halls with in a straight jacket muttering sounds similar to "found him in a spider hole Hah. I'll show them. Where's the circus tent?"
No offense, but CHB stuff really belongs in "Bloggers & Personal."
Goebbels would be proud of this steaming pile of RAT dung.
This is great news! Go, Bush!!
This guy's a blatant liar. Bush is always extremely humble about his christianity and has never made the above statement.
This is bizarre! I just don't believe it.
This is undeniable.
Aides say the President gets “hung up on minor details,” micromanaging to the extreme while ignoring the bigger picture. He will spend hours personally reviewing and approving every attack ad against his Democratic opponent and then kiss off a meeting on economic issues.
After nearly 4 years in office, this is the first time I have ever heard Bush called a micromanager. Infact, editorial after editorial and newscast after newscast has constantly complained that he was too hands off and didn't get into the details enough. So which is it?
"Tenet wanted to quit last year but the President got his back up and wouldn't hear of it," says an aide. "That would have been the opportune time to make a change, not in the middle of an election campaign but when the director challenged the President during the meeting Wednesday, the President cut him off by saying 'that's it George. I cannot abide disloyalty. I want your resignation and I want it now."
I do not believe for one minute that this is what happened.
this is pure bull shit
Are you sure this isn't sourced from a supermarket tabloid? The reason you know it's just a hit piece is the hysteria. Someone may need to slap the author for his own good.
Garbage. Nobody's buying it (unless it'd be with public funds).
He had to apologize for a piece last year, and he'll have to do it on this one, as well.
Hey, Doug! This is the lowest thing you've ever written.
Not one named source, which means you made 'em all up!
What a f***ing joke. Dougie needs to do something positive with his life...
Where do you find these loads of steaming-hot BS, D?
This one's a bowlfull!
This is the biggest load of garbage I have ever heard. White House staffers off the record?
This really shows how desperate the Democrats are. The economy is humming, Iraq is turning around, Bin Laden will be caught in the coming months.
All they can do is paint Bush as an extremist and try to paint him as a paranoid religious zealot who is dangerous for this country.
They liberals are desperate and cannot figure out how to defeat Bush.
From the Soros memoranda, direct to you for your enjoyment.
Sick MF's.
Thanks for giving this its own thread; everybody needs to see what a certifiable liar Doug Thompson is.
"says a longtime GOP political consultant with contacts in the White House;
White House staffers who were willing to talk off the record;
says one troubled White House aide; says one troubled aide"
Uh.........
This sounds exactly like the way they tried to portray Reagan in that terrible television movie fiasco.
horsesh*t
They sound like they are talking about Bill and Hillary.The jackass that Wrote this has his victims mixed up.
Arsenic and a dull cleaver would do this author well.
Even if this was true SO WHAT he knows the enemy's of this country and sees them for what they are !
I find the insight and enlightenment of a common man President refreshing to say the least
If this was typed up as a hit column it will very well backfire as all there other hit pieces do!
Put the pressure a war and an economy and the very freedom of the American people on any one of their shoulders and would you hear cries of utter chaos and aren't finger pointing
This President don't point fingers he has the integrity and guts to see the job through full well knowing he going to step on pacifist whiners toes it makes no difference who's toes or how many !
After 8 years of no backbone Finally the spine of America is unchained and he pacifists don't like it one little bit!
So I guess it is just a coincidence that numerous times over the last few months key Democrat attack dogs like Ted Kennedy and Terry McAuliffe have made similar comparisons and innuendo that Bush is just like Nixon, repeatedly inserting Nixon's name. This tripe reads just like a DNC press release filtered through MoveOn.org.
Are you really that dumb and gullible to be so easily duped and used, or simply trying to defeat President by any means necessary? Perhaps a fan of Pastor Chuck Baldwin? Frankly from everything I've seen you appear to be a liar and a fraud.
What incredible irony for you, of all people, to accuse President Bush of being paranoid, unstable, and erratic....
Pure fiction, being marketed as fact. This Michael Moore wannabe, invents sources as he goes along-sources without names or faces-sources that can never deny or confirm the feigned statements.
That won't prevent the media from quoting from this piece of bird cage liner, just like it is the Gospel though.
Maybe this guy is another "David Brock" and has fallen in love with one of Kerry's guys?
I don't know...just a thought.
Translation: GWB agreed with Cheney's assessment of Adam Clymer as an a**hole.
Has Bob Woodward seen this? It reads just like something he would have written during the height of the Watergate story.
Such a large retinue of unnamed sources.
Or a small retinue, oft-quoted.
Doug, you just apologized for another story where you had been conned. Who are your sources on this story ?
