"We noticed that the intellectual level of the (US president) was exceedingly limited," Uwe-Karsten Heye, Schröder's former government spokesman, told the television news station N24 on Wednesday in reference to Bush. "As such, it was difficult for us to communicate with him."Heye continued: "He had no idea about what was going on in the world. He was so fixated on being a Texan. I think he knew every longhorn in Texas."

Who said there is no life after Bush...?

The book has not received friendly feedback by the few commentators in Germany who thought they must lose a word on it. The author's memory and sense of realism is being questioned. What certainly is no news.

Earlier this week, Bush compl,ained about Schroeder having signalled support, but then having left Bush alone, not standing by his word. Schroeder, asked over the words by which Bush has quoted him, is reported of immediately having put it straight by using no different formulation than: "He lies."
