I just bought Dean's book, ask me anything.

I'm just about done with Clarke's book. In that book I find chapter 11 "Right War, Wrong War" to be the most interesting and critical. Anyways, I flipped open Dean's book at random to page 70 while standing in line at Barnes and Noble, and read this:

Bush, like Nixon until he was weakened by Watergate, uses sheer intimidation when dealing with the press. If a reporter does a story the White House doesn't like, his or her telephone calls are not returned. And if the president doesn't like a question, he'll openly take a shot at the reporter. Who can forget, on May 31, 2002, when Bush was in Paris, holding a joint press conference with French president Jacques Chirac, his exchange with NBC correspondent David Gregory? Gregory, at 6 foot five inches, seems to intimidate Bush before he even asks a question. Anyway, on that occasion Gregory asked why Bush thought there was such a strong sentiment in Europe against him and, being fluent in French, then turned to Chirac and asked, Et vous, Monsieur le President Chirac, qu'en pensez-vous?"

Bush, pursing his lips and barely able to contain his anger, responded with a stridently sardonic comment, not to Gregory but to the world: "Very good", he said his head nodding with mock approval. "The guy memorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental."

I'm looking forward to a good read...
