Some Friend, W's Mexican Amigo
September 16, 2007 12:06 PM ET | Bedard, Paul | Permanent Link
At the White House, the president has got to be muttering "some friend" when
he pores over the new autobio from his old buddy Vicente Fox, Mexico's
former leader. That's because Fox raps his border pal as stubborn and "the
cockiest guy I have ever met in my life." Revolution of Hope, out next
month, is a well-written, well-researched book about Fox's political career
and presidency, which coincided with George W. Bush's. While he expresses a
kinship with W, he breaks with the prez on the war and slams the GOP's
immigration platform. He blames Bush's stubbornness on Iraq for bad
international relations, calls his Spanish "grade-school level," and admits
he didn't think Bush would ever become president. "I can't honestly say that
I had ever seen George W. Bush getting to the White House," he pens.
