A Tall-Tale Tell-All [Dana Perino]
I knew Matt only a little bit. Now that an excerpt of his book is out, Im reminded of what a veteran of three White Houses told me: Beware of the quiet guy in the room.
Seems that every administration goes through this yes, even the Obamas will have someone take advantage of the career opportunity of a lifetime to try to feather their own nest at someone elses expense no matter how far-fetched their story may be.
For example, he writes that President Bush didnt know who Sarah Palin was. Thats rubbish Bush had just met Palin the previous month in Alaska, and he mentioned that to me literally two seconds after McCain made his announcement. So much of what Latimer claims the president said dont ring true to me. I was with the president for whole days at a time, through thick and thin, and I never heard him say things like that about others. And I dont think hes ever even said the word keister. Cmon.
Im pretty sure that almost everyone who worked in the White House could not pick Matt out of a lineup, and I doubt thatll change much after this book. Speechless should have been called Shameless.
