Anyone See: Army Secretary (Enron) Thomas White..All Over Promoting Book?
Former Army Secretary Thomas White was all over the cables tonight. Buchanan & Press being the show I watched the longest....BUT.....he was everywhere promoting his book!

He didn't answer any question that might have made it look like he was critisizing his former employer "Bush/Lay" and no matter how hard Buchanan/Press went after him ( a 'tag team" on this issue) he dodged.

He was on other shows that I surfed.

My impression: He was either "Drunk as a Skunk" (he spoke in a loud...almost shouting/whining voice defending Bush but never answering any questions about his book) or he was on "HEAVY MEDS" and was "TOTALLY OUT OF IT" in his responses.

It was "pitiful" to watch this man.......I couldn't believe he ever served in the US ARMY.......He was completely "out of it" to me.

Who paid him to write his book? Coulter's publishing house? Was this a "Regnery" Publishing deal?

This guy was so "Clueless" that I really had to wonder why Bush fired him! He and Chimpy would have been "fast friends" in my book. Neither of them can express themselves in a literate fashion.

Did anyone else see this "Piece of Work?" I can't even imagine "Enron" hiring this dork! I can't.........

:nuke:

3. Still the impression he gave was that
the administration is totally fucked up. It wasn't that he didn't answer, it was how he did not answer. His denials were loaded.

2. Thomas "E for Enron" White wrote a book?
Does he explain how he made all that money while he was at Enron but didn't know a damn thing about anything that was happening in his little corner of the company? The guy was paid millions and couldn't tell Congress squat about what his division did, how it finagled all that money, how it robbed ratepayers and investors alike, and then went belly up in spite of all that cheating and stealing.

5. Not only does he have a book, he was all over "PROMOTING" the trash!
Edited on Thu Sep-04-03 06:53 PM by KoKo01
It was billed as an "Expose of how we got into Iraq!" It was.......I won't even do an Amazon Google to geth the title......He never answered a question......why should I link his "f**king book!

And, I'm so pissed.....I never use that word on DU "f**king" but was driven to it because the guy is such a put up simpleton.......I've been driven to what many DU'ers will think is "hysteria" over the guy.

I was hoping for some reasoned, DU intellectually calm discussion after they saw him.....not my emotionall "freak out" over the guy!
So far...it seems....no one saw him.

Maybe that's good........he won't have any book sales and we can let him go away off to the "Carlyle Group" where all good former Generals go..........in this administration/ squatter kingdom.

BUT! He's the guy with the Mansion down in Tampa or Sarasota built on our "tax money!" He's an IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
