Former Bush Speechwriter Accused of Stealing Words

It shouldn't come as a surprise that a Bushy would be accused of deception. It would take a dishonest person to write words for a dishonest administration:

He has been hailed as the best White House speechwriter since Theodore Sorensen, the muse behind President Bush's most famous phrases, the moral conscience of the West Wing. But Michael Gerson now is accused by a former colleague of taking credit for words he did not write.

According to Matthew Scully, who worked with him for five years, Gerson is not the bard of Bushworld, but a "self-publicizing" glory hog guilty of "foolish vanity," "sheer pettiness" and "credit hounding."

This White House is going down the toilet and taking all us with them:

As Bush heads toward the final months of a presidency mired in troubles at home and abroad, onetime insiders increasingly have turned on people or policies they had supported. Matthew Dowd, Bush's chief re-election strategist, has disavowed him. John Bolton, Bush's former U.N. ambassador, has led the charge against key foreign-policy decisions. Kenneth Adelman, a close friend of Vice President Dick Cheney, has denounced what he calls the worst administration in modern times.
