Preacher, peddler, and Beltway meddler Doug Wead, who selectively released furtively recorded conversations with George W. Bush, told me this morning that he has changed his mind and will turn over book profits to charity and the tapes to Bush. Yesterday, in "The Zelig of the Religious Right," I wrote this about Wead's very selective release of only a small fraction of his tapes to the New York Times: "This latest 'revelation' that George W. Bush is a flawed man of faith and prayer who is thoughtful is just more propaganda." I said that Wead would never hurt Bush, that Wead "played" the Times. I can say this about Wead because I've written more about him than any other reporter on the planet . . .

Considering the source of this post is the Village Voice, do I really have to read it to know it will be another Bush bashing piece?
Well, I think Doug Wead was the conservative activist fired from the GHWB administration in the summer of 1990. He may have an ax against the whole Bush family. GHWB may have helped sink Wead's congressional campaign, and the crusty old Barry Golwater went Democrat to oppose Wead.
but the tapes were made in 1998

Welcome to Free Republic. |
But... I repeat myself.
Does this make the author a "conspiracy theorist?" No, it makes him an ideologue who apparently would abandon any policy, regardless of merit, that included benefits for the wealthy or big business. With him in charge the United States would have never risen.
Ya know.
If you newbies are going to post the garbage from VV, at least you could have the decency to comment on it!
What are you? 12?
Wow....when did FR deploy a troll detector? I really appreciate the wise use of our contributions to this site for such protection! After all, it's the #1 duty of the administration under the FR constitution.....#2 being holding parties.
It's against posting rules to make up your own title.
You forgot #3.
ZOTTING TROLLS!

It also makes him a nutbag.
