Former President George W. Bush went off on his former vice president and defense secretary, stating bluntly that “they did not make one f****** decision.” Bush made the inflammatory remark about his former colleagues in Mark K. Updegrove’s book The Last Republicans: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship Between George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, which is scheduled to be released November 14.
The 43rd president pushed back against critics who claim he did not make major decisions during his presidency, and that former Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld made most of the important decisions in the White House.
They “didn’t make one f****** decision,” Bush claimed. “The fact that there was any doubt in anyone’s mind about who the president was, blows my mind.”

Updegrove’s book describes the relationship between the younger Bush and his father, but his book is making headlines ahead of its November 14 release.
Other excerpts from the book that are already public quote both former presidents making disparaging statements about President Trump.
The elder Bush attacked Trump’s leadership style and called the current president a “blowhard.”
The younger Bush also made his disdain for Trump known recently in an October speech at the George W. Bush Institute, where he rejected Trump’s ideology and defended globalism.

““W” did not veto a single bill sent to his desk.”
Actually, he vetoed 12 and had 4 overridden.
Obama vetoed 12, too.
Most presidents vetoed around 36, several over 300.
In 20-20 hindsight, GHW Bush gave us 8 years of Clinton, and GW Bush gave us 8 years of Omaha.
That’s a helluva legacy to live down.
So GW was as dumb and stupid as suspected. Wonder how that guy sleeps after being responsible for over six thousand dead, tens of thousands more physically and psychologically maimed, three trillion squandered and America economically crippled, the culturally disastrous election of Obama and the whitewashing of 9/11. Then again he is too oblivious to be troubled. He is just enjoying all that family wealth the Bushes accumulated dealing with the corrupt, decadent Saudis.
IF it’s true that neither Cheney nor Rummy made any major decisions in that admin., Bush is too dumb to realize that he just complimented them.
Last time I defended Dubya was before the Hank Paulson’s 700 billion bailout plan.
Looks like the “oysters” are gone. But when you look back at the alternatives when they ran.........................
George W. was a small, stupid man. A mediocrity really. His wife led him around by the nose, and I wonder if he will admit that.
It would have been great to see the bush’s go to Trump’s office and say “Ok what can we do to help?”
Bush back on the booze?
I’m the decider!
The most important thing to the Bush family is preserving their 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of our laws and borders to flood the country with fraudulently documented foreigners.
The intent was to dilute the votes of citizens to steal our country from us.
Bush attacked the author of a book, not the men Cheney and Rumsfeld.
And Bush's statement is ALSO true ... HE made the decisions.
When I saw this yesterday, I was floored that it was a news item.
Now, I was late is discounting GW, but recent reports have proven to me he was as much a slimey mole as the swamp is now.
‘They Didn’t Make One F****** Decision’
With this obscene, vulgar, sleazy, disgusting remark, G. W. Bush reveals that the Bushes are every bit as obscene, vulgar, sleazy, and disgusting as the Clintons.

I guess we're in for a lot of Bush Bashing soon.
Also, "The Last Republicans"? I'd rather it say, "The Last Elite Republicans".
GHWB was nothing but a “Yes” man his entire career and ended up being President by default. Then, when HE was the leader, he ended all the progress made by President Ronald Reagan.
GWB? Not bright, but better than the other options we had. (Probably!)
We finally have someone in the White House who is different. It’s unsettling to all of us at times, but definitely a step in the right direction. (Plus, I have grown to love his tweets, after initially cringing.)
Pretty much the same here, although I still gave Bush leeway for the unusual times we were living through, up until now.
Well, if he didn’t vote for Trump, that means he voted for Hillary. And that is enough for me to disown any support I ever voiced for him...forever.
Thank you for the best, most succinct, and devastating recap of Schrub’s disastrous terms.
