Texas: George W. Bush

A new memoir by a former White House speechwriter reportedly has the former Bushies nervous. The book, Speech-Less by Matt Latimer, is under wraps and almost nobody has seen it. It'll be out in late September, and will offer an hilarious, eye-opening account of life inside George W. Bush's White House and Don Rumsfeld's Pentagon. According to the Washington Post, folks are "devising schemes to get their hands on 'Speech-Less' to figure out, first, what's in it about them, and then how to deflect and rebut." This is going to be a big book. It's not a book that Karl Rove will want people to read. And, curiously, neither will Kay Bailey Hutchison.

We've been writing it since last December, and the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call catches up today about Bush uber-guru Karl Rove's role directing things at Kay Bailey Hutchison's campaign. Hutchison is challenging Gov. Rick Perry. Rove was a Hutchison adviser back in the 1990s before he moved full-time to Bush. Now, Rove is writing a book and has joined the punditocracy on Fox News. Officially, campaign manager Rick Wiley says Rove's not involved. But as we've reported repeatedly in recent months, Rove is actively offering Hutchison campaign advice. Insiders say he talks frequently with the Republican senator, who seeks his counsel on anything important, and he's been on political conference calls.

FoxNews is airing a "behind-the-scenes investigation" today at 7 p.m. and on its list of exclusive interviews: Rep. Jeb Hensarling.

Called "Two Trillion with a T: How You Bought Wall Street," the special with Bret Baier explores how the federal government brokered sale of Bear Stern's and the use of taxpayer money.

The Dallas Republican sits on the House Financial Services Committee and the House Committee on the Budget. He joins a cast of officials from the past and current administrations, the Treasury and other lawmakers. Even former President George W. Bush.

The government's response to economic troubles has made Hensarling a go-to guy for the media. So far this Congress, he's appeared on Fox Business plus CNBC's "The Kudlow Report" and Powerlunch.

The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce hit Capitol Hill today.

During their luncheon in a Senate office building, they heard from a cast of lawmakers. (Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., did an impression of former President George W. Bush that got lots of laughs. Seriously, it seemed Will Ferrell-inspired.)

Last but not least, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison addressed the crowd. She was introduced as "a great friend" to the Hispanic community.

In about a 10-minute address, Hutchison covered tax cuts, the death tax, health care and education. Here are some highlights.

On tax cuts: Major tax cuts have to be part of the economic recovery. "Just 10 or 15 dollars per paycheck is not enough to make people feel confident that they can go out and spend money," Hutchison said.
