<<you said "Mary Matalin's interview in 2000 was the last time that I could stand her. Here's some of why">> When reading something from a person like Mary Matilin you must read between the lines to figure out what the real story is that she is glossing over with her gushing terms. Here are a couple of examples from the interview you linked to. What she said about junior isn't italicized and what she was glossing over is. The few examples apply to the whole interview. Mary Matilin makes her living convincing people that piles of shit are really t-bone steaks. _______________________ He never just rolled with the punches. Everything, every one was a gut punch. And that is not the way that he's been in his own campaigns. His modus operandi was to resort to the most vile dirty tricks anyone would suggest to him. They're a very tight, close family, and that father-son relationship is particularly close, and they both are pained--there's no other word for it--they're just pained to see the other criticized. There's a hell of a lot of skeletons in the Bush closet and they hate it when one comes to light. I've never seen him in an emotional rage. He is emotional. He's sensitive. He could not take any criticism whatsoever. He came very close to being in an emotional rage whenever anyone didn't give him the total respect he falsely thought he deserved. Let's say he was a late bloomer. He tried a lot of different things. He didn't amount to anything till he was well into middle age. He was a dope headed drunk for the bigger part of his life. I never saw expectations excessive to him or any of the children. This is one of the things most attractive--of the many attractive things about the Bush family, their normalcy. All of these children are beloved for their individualism, Because he was so hard headed Barbara and George Sr pretty much gave up on him early. All of his brothers were into different kinds of corruption. He is not a policy--he doesn't not understand policy, he's just not the cocktail chatter, "Oh, look how much smarter I am than you." He thinks in big, visionary terms. He is capable of only basic generalized thoughts yet can't express them. He is also a dumbass. And he also has the ability to draw the right people in, smart people, to whom he can delegate to get the nits and nats of it together. He can't do anything on his own.
