Huff Post has more tidbits from Matt Lattimer's upcoming book about the Bush years, as an insider.
Bush on Jimmy Carter: "If I'm ever eighty-two years old and acting like that have someone put me away."
Laura Bush, says Latimer, "was secretly a Democrat for all intents and purposes, though it really wasn't much of a secret."
For a commencement address at Furman University in spring 2008, Ed Gillespie wanted to insert a few lines condemning gay marriage. Bush called the speech too "condemnatory" and said, "I'm not going to tell some gay kid in the audience that he can't get married." (Of course, Bush ran his 2004 campaign telling that kid just that.)
