Focus On The Family's Response To Kuo Book
What this statement, by Focus's Carrie Gordon Earll says is: there's no possible way that our allies could ever have said stuff behind our backs like that. Right? Right?
It's undeniably true -- from talking to former colleagues of Kuo's -- that he was upset when the administration didn't focus as much on his brief after 9/11. We also know that lots of reassuring phone calls from the White House's office of public liaison and from Karl Rove's office have been made to the circle of evangelical leaders who may be offended by Kuo's book.
"The release of this book criticizing the Bush administration's handling of its faith-based initiative program seems to represent little more than a mix of sour grapes and political timing. David Kuo's book doesn't hit shelves until next week, but excerpts released by media outlets paint the picture of a dissatisfied federal employee taking shots at the White House effort to connect faith-based nonprofit groups with legitimate societal needs.
"Big media will no doubt play this story to the hilt in the next several weeks, because it allows them to take aim at two of their favorite targets: President Bush and socially conservative Christians. Sadly, Kuo's characterization of his former colleagues, bosses and mission -- mischaracterizations, really -- will be fed to the public as truth.
"While Focus on the Family does not participate in the faith-based initiative program, we are allies with many who do -- and they have far different impressions of the people and events documented in Kuo's book. Our support for the program is unchanged, and we applaud the president's hard work in reducing dependency on government programs while connecting people to their communities. It's a commitment that dates back to his time as governor of Texas and one that will be a large and important part of his White House legacy."
BTW, the author of this book has been an intern for Chappaquidick Ted Kennedy.
Also bow tie and dancer with the stars, tucker carlson is sucking up to his MSNBC bosses, by pushing this "book".
Like President Bush said the other day....a LOT of books have been written about his administration....because he has had to make a lot of decisions.
I heard even that weinie George Will, on Laura Ingraham's show this morning, bemoaning the "ex-employee" memoirs that come out before that employee's boss is out of office.
He said that that never happened until one book, written during Reagan's Administration....
simple enough :))))).
Yawwwwwn.
I don't like the timing, but is there any truth in it?
The timing should be more than enough evidence about the veracity of this "book".
"BTW, the author of this book has been an intern for Chappaquidick Ted Kennedy."
He's an evangelical Christian? Or was he just a hire-anyone hired hand who was supposed to work on the Faith Based Initiatives?. I bet Andrew Card help vet this guy.
Tucker Carlson is a real pill.
And everything the NYT prints is the God's honest truth, correct, according to your "logic".
How many times are you going to put your hand on the hot stove without figuring that you are going to burn your hand.
Democrats and the Media are doing their level best to make sure that the Christian people stay home this November. It is a sad testimony to your party when the only way you can win a election is to hope that the people don't come out to vote.
I have heard that kuo is gay?
LLS
Uh and the clock is still broken.
Better to be called goofy, than murderer, sir. You have betrrayed the administration that hired you and returned to your orca roots.
JMO, they will crying in their Starbucks coffee on November 8th.
We shall see on the morning of November 8th, as you parrot the liberal media talking points.
"... as you parrot the liberal media talking points."
