"Secret tapes reveal George Bush's combative, even arrogant heart"

(arrogant? Really?)

"The Win-at-All-Costs President" by Howard Fineman.

what's interesting here is how the mainstream press discussion of the Wead tapes focused on GWB discussing his marijuana use(albeit obliquely), rather than his acknowlegdement that the Bushes smeared Dukakis and Gore. Likewise, I (would like to) think most Texas voters would want to know that Bush felt they were his to deliver or keep in his pocket. Anyone out there know if there's an online source for the Wead tapes? E-mail me, don't leave a comment.
