More From the Draper Book--- Froomkin 9/5/07

> Here's Draper with Wolf Blitzer on CNN:
>
> "BLITZER: You have fascinating detail on the relationship he and Laura Bush have had with Karl Rove over the years on page 102. You write this, 'Laura would later express her own distaste for "pig pen" Rove. There was more hate than love in her love/hate regard for Bush's top adviser.' Go ahead and elaborate. Tell us why.
>
> "DRAPER: Well, I think she sees Karl Rove as a necessary evil. But she knows that getting elected is often an un-pretty blood sport. That doesn't mean that she has to like it. That doesn't mean that she has to like Rove's antics. She also I think has viewed Karl as being someone willing to hog the credit, credit that perhaps belongs to her husband."
>
> Chapter one of the book, about Bush's first campaign for the White House, is on the New York Times Web site. In an excerpt in Slate, Draper quotes Bush's description of a conversation he had with Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman] Carl Levin about Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki:
>
> "I said, 'You went to Iraq and you told him point blank, You better get moving.' I said, 'Thank you for doing that.'
>
> "'He said, 'Why don't you do the same thing?' I said, 'I've got other audiences. My message isn't just to the Iraqi government. It's to U.S. troops, the enemy, the Iraqi people. And therefore I've got to be careful about how I deliver the message. I want to be viewed more as a mentor than a scolder.'"
