Link: New York Daily News President George W. Bush was a serial disser of fellow politicians, his former speechwriter Matt Latimer writes in an upcoming memoir, "Speech Less: Tales of a White House Survivor." Among the semiprivate insults flung by Bush was this one at Sarah Palin: "I'm trying to remember if I've met her before. What is she, the governor of Guam?" The Raw Story reports further that Bush thought she was the wrong pick for John McCain's running mate: "This woman is being put into a position she is not even remotely prepared for," he said. A former aide to Bush and Palin disputes the account in an interview with CNN, saying Bush was fully aware of who Palin was and met her three weeks before she was chosen by McCain. Besides, the aide says, Latimer was a nobody at the White House.
