Hey, she has her right to write this book. I don't think it's going to sell very well, although she will be on ever talk show, including the gratuitous 60 Minutes episode. Heck, they may give her the whole hour.

[Pete'sWife]

This book is going to start in the bargain bin and go downhill from there.

Ecch!

[FLCowboy,]

Another New Jersey loser. So what's new?

[Nataku X]

OK, so what happened between her and the administration to get her fired?

[somemoreequalthanothers]

I'm tired of hearing how extreme and right wing our party is.
At a time of the most bloated federal government in the history of the world, I think those charges are hardly credible.
Whitman can go to........well, let's just say her political career has peaked and is on the other side of the hill.

Christine Todd Whitman aka Barney's mom...

[mylife]

Oh! those rascally antigovernment idealogues!

[ken21]

oh god!

i just lost the remaining respect that i had for her.

bye!

[livius]

She is deluded if she thinks people really care about her or what she thinks about GWB. Yesterday's news. She had her chance and she blew it.

[GeronL]

Clinton never got 50% of the vote, Bush got more votes than anyone in history. So he must be doing something wrong.

nutcases.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

flays Bush and his team for ignoring the country's middle

Interesting, considering it was the middle who elected him.

[Torie]

As sort of a camp follower of the Whitman wing of the party, I wonder what her specifics are that the Bush policy has been captured by the "dark side." I just don't observe that at all from this direction. The main brouhaha at the moment, is that Bush is being too "compassionate" about immigration, which does not credentialize Bush as a hard right winger. And I don't remember Whitman complainging that the Bush tax cuts were too large, and too upscale. So just WHAT is bothering her?

[Incorrigible]

Shut up Christie!

Your lame Far Hills elitism has really become a liability.

I liked you in your first term as Governor but you really showed your RINO colors with your court appointments in your second term and the debt tricks you played.

You would have gone down in ignominy in NJ had you finished your second term so you should be thanking President Bush for lifting you out of New Jersey before you were tarred and feathered.

Thanks to you we have Frank Lautenberg in the Senate instead of Doug Forester. We spend oodles of money on Abbot district schools with nothing to show for it. And to top it off, you defied the will of the people who wanted parental notification of our daughters having abortions.

Oh, and the picture of you patting down that perp with the big silly grin on your face was real nice too.

Please just shut up and go watch movies in your basement with the wide screen TV and let the administration do the job we want them to do.

Pop Quiz:

Which Republican Governor failed to win reelection ?

[DoctorMichael]

Her stint at the EPA was ineffectual and she left, much like o'Neil at Treasury, by being given an Bush-insider's, smiling, faux pat-on-the-back IMHO.

Maybe she's just jealous she didn't get the Medal of Freedom from the Bush Administration like Tenet at CIA.

"The Karl Rove strategy to focus so rigorously on the narrow conservative base won the day, but we must ask at what price to governing and at what risk to the future of the party."

Dole/Whitman in 2008. Yeah... that'll work.

[Bommer]

Love the subtitle "Taking back the Republican party" From what and to what? She was kicked out because she is an idiot!

[LdSentinal]

I'm surprised that she's complaining since she was a moderate in the Tom Kean Sr. mode during her first administration and she barely won her re-election in 1997 against a then unknown Jim McGreevey.

Of course, she blames Newt Gingrich for her narrow win, but Bush was not about the adopt a flawed Kyoto treaty with its' obvious flaws.

[Burlem]

Damn, I thought our president was a moderate.. Where is he too conservative? In some ways he is too liberal for me, like immigation.
