So, Lincoln Chafee wrote a book, “Against the Tide: How a Compliant Congress Empowered a Reckless President,” that bashes the president, the vice president, the senate, and everyone else under the sun.
”Chafee points plenty of fingers, but President George W. Bush, whom Chafee backed in 2000, earns his harshest scorn.
He brands Bush as two-faced for solemnly promising during the campaign to be a “uniter, not a divider,” but later pursuing a hard-line GOP agenda using wedge issues like abortion and gay rights. Chafee complains about Bush’s “juvenile streak.” And he rails at Bush’s pretending to search for weapons of mass destruction behind the White House furniture during a skit at a black-tie Washington dinner.”
