President George W. Bush's former speechwriter Matt Latimer reveals that Bush considered Barack Obama unfit for the White House and predicted that vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin would be a disaster for the GOP.
"After one of Obama's blistering speeches against the administration, the president had a very human reaction: He was ticked off," Latimer writes in his forthcoming book, "Speech-Less: Tales of a White House Survivor," which has been excerpted in the October issue of GQ.
"He came in one day to rehearse a speech, fuming. 'This is a dangerous world,' he said for no apparent reason, 'and this cat isn't remotely qualified to handle it. This guy has no clue, I promise you.'"

This is a load of crap.Where is the opinion on mcnutts?They cant pass up a chance to bash her.
IMHO, Without Palin, McStain would not have done nearly as well as he did.
The people voted for Sarah, not McPain.
All of these polished, pampered, political pigs with their Ivy League educations get all wee-wee’d up in the glare of a woman that can gut a grizzly.
Clearly, ZerO has less of a clue than the clueless TOTUS.
I miss the clarity of Charlie McCarthy.
Already posted and has been debunked with links.

LOL! So true.
Great example: Sometime before the Republican National Committee last year McPain came to Southeast Michigan and he was greeted by a crowd of 200 and they met in a VFW Hall.
If you remember, the first stop after the Convention was Southeast Michigan, this time an amphitheater was needed to handle over 20,000 people and many were turned away due to fire restrictions. I was there. it wasn’t about McCain, it was about SARAH!
Has there been any data on how many Republican House and Senate winners Palin helped pull across the finish line?
I wholeheartedly agree with that...However, I like Palin's version of a GNP far better than I cared for Bush's GOP...
Dana Perino has already debunked this book.

A former aide to George W. Bush and Sarah Palin is dismissing a claim by onetime Bush speechwriter Matt Latimer that the former president was clueless about Palin when she was tapped as John McCain’s running mate last August. ... But Jason Recher, who served as special assistant to President Bush and as a traveling aide to Palin during the campaign, said the former President was well aware of Palin especially since the two met in person in Alaska just three weeks before Palin was added to the Republican ticket.
“Bush considered Barack Obama unfit for the White House and predicted that vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin would be a disaster for the GOP.”
What do we have after eight years of Bush.......a rush to a socialist/communist government. Let’s face it Bush was no Reagan and his constantly “turning the other cheek” was a disaster. Sarah is a woman of principle ie, Maggie Thatcher, and will return freedom to the nation.
MHO, Without Palin, McStain would not have done nearly as well as he did.
The people voted for Sarah, not McPain.
Can you fathom the vote Zero would have gotten without Palin on the McQueeg ticket? I’m just guessing 70% of the voters voting. Millions, me included, would have stayed away from the polls.
Sarah Palin was ten times better than daddy Bushes pick of Dan Quayle.
Sarah wasn’t the disaster. McCain was.
Agree. Samo samo from Bush and GOP. Bushs’ allegedly saying Onada was unfit for office was just a cover to get in the Palin dig.
Bush, and all those around him, are irrelevant. At least Bush I has the good sense to keep political thoughts to himself.
Mr. Bush II, you had your shot. You blew it. Shut up and be invisible. Have the courtesy to let those of us who believe in the US Constitution “uphold and defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic”. Something you swore to do, but failed to accomplish more times than you did.
Oh please. LOL She's a twit you moron. She couldnt handle the simple pressure of "media attacks" & "Investigations"?
Wake up. :/
McCain is an unprincipled, lazy fighter jock...but Sarah Palin came out of the political preparedness oven WAY too soon.
but I know a lot of people here in liberland who would have voted for McC but didn’t because of Palin.
