Of course, this has been all over everywhere already, and will just get more exposure today and tomorrow, but it's worth reading, so you can know what George W. Bush said in private about policy and himself before he was even running for President.

This bit caught my eye:

Mr. Bush bristled at even an implicit aspersion on his past behavior from Dan Quayle, the former vice president and a rival candidate.

"He's gone ugly on me, man," Mr. Bush told Mr. Wead. Mr. Bush quoted Mr. Quayle as saying, "I'm proud of what I did before 40."

"As if I am not!" Mr. Bush said.

As a refresher, here's what Bush did before he was 40, compared to the achievements of his last election opponent in the same period of his life.

Someone might remind the President about this, if anyone were allowed to tell him things he doesn't want to hear.
