Doug Wead's ("Help Me Sell Books") Tapes

I think that Doug Wead's release of the tapes are done entirely to help him sell books rather than to hurt Bush in any way. Of course that doesn't make it any less sleazy.

It will be interesting to see how the mainstream media tries to spin Bush's statements in the hope that they will hurt him. I tend to agree with Mickey Kaus that these tapes will actually help Bush, as they reveal the sincerity of the man.

The Polipundit also has a lot more stuff on the subject.

Then again, if this helps his popularity (which, after listening to the comments, I believe it will) - people will be asking whether Karl Rove was ultimately behind this...
