Bruce is consumed with personal (and I emphasize -personal- ) hatred for Bush and all Republicans or conservatives. You have no idea of the bitterness this former Reagan- and Bush 1 administration official feels; he’s all button-hurt because his prior sullen, depressive, hostile behavior and snobbery caused the Bush 2 people to not take him on in 2000. This colors his perceptions. It also makes him very lonely, which exacerbates his problems and perceptions. A vicious circle. Take what he writes with a handful of salt.
Thanks, I did not know the history between Barlett and Dubya’s inner circle.
But there is enough to question on the article just from what he wrote.
