um...HAIR?! What was he thinking?! CUT the hair. Yup, I had that cut in the 80s. But, the 80s ended 17 years ago.
That said, smart.
Articulate. I don't really get how Bush fell for him. Something tells me that after this book and the Woodward book that Monsieur Le Bush will not ever talk to an author again. : )
So be it.
I have long thought that Bush was, in his own complicated way, smarter than we'd like to believe. I've long had the opinion that Bush was not dumb. Dumb like a fox maybe. I disagree oh, say 100% with him but I don't think he's as dumb as the caricature would have us believe.
Hair aside, this is a good one.
I didn't know that 43 as rejected by UT for law school. Doesn't say much for HBS.
The White House has no concept of the obligation to dissent. Fuckers.
"What did you want to know that you just couldn't get your hands around" is a fine question.
I actually think that Draper could be a fine pundit. His responses are uniformly articulate and a good derivative thinker able to think extrapolatively, which I think is key.
Laura, to me, is the sleeper. I think that she has been over-looked in the kerfuffle of her fucking husband.
Six hours of conversation with fucker 43 is significant but he should be saying and 223 hours with his circle.
Extremely well done on the part of CR and Mr. Draper.
