Bush's 'Body Man' Leaves White House

June 16 - It's been a great week for President Bush, but there's been at least one dark cloud: One of his closest aides is leaving the White House this week.

Blake Gottesman is leaving to attend Bush's alma mater, Harvard School of Business. Gottesman has no undergraduate degree, but in rare cases, the school makes exceptions.

Gottesman, 26, has been the president's personal aide for more than four years and gets more face time with Bush than the vice president or White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove.

He is sometimes called the president's "body man" or the "two-minute man" because he lets the media know the president is about to arrive.

1. La-de-dah. n/t

---Not aimed at you----just expressing my feelings about little body boy.

It'll be amusing to see him try to use his 'connections' if half the * Administration's in jail when he gets out. OTOH, they're like coackroaches. He'll find something to infest.

2. I wonder how many Repubs who'd be upset that a black or Hispanic student

with a "B plus" average was admitted to a place like Harvard Business School over a white student with an "A" average, are upset that a guy like this was able to drop out of college after one year and be admitted to the school because of his connections?

3. I think this is the first time a father and daughter (Jenna)

have shared the same boy toy.

5. ROFLMAO! "Dad, that's my manwhore!"

19. i just googled his name with "affair" and found a blurb about

him being jenna's boyfriend--

Jenna once woke Bush up and made him call her then-boyfriend Blake Gottesman after they fought.

4. Gannon must be excited. Looks there's a place for him in the

White House now.

6. No need to attend classes. Another "affirmative action" MBA from Harvard

GWB got one too.

[Redstone]

7. So, this 26-year-old nobody of a yuppie snot has "more face time

than Rove?"

Is he, maybe, Gannon's replacement? Is there a closet in the White House that's getting crowded?

PS: "Body Man?" See above.

8. So Shrub will only be able to spew INARTICULATE CRAP??? !!!! 11?

9. Gottesman has no undergraduate degree? n/t

[rooboy]

10. Poor kid realized he wasn't learning anything by being around Bush. n/t

[Pale Blue Dot]

11. "two-minute man"?

Maybe Bush wants someone who can last longer?

[bluestateguy]

12. The kid will flunk out in less than a year

He has no business experience, is not even close to having a B.A., and now he's going to cut it at the top B school in the country?

Hah! :rofl:

Fasten your seatbelt kid. This is graduate school at Harvard. They play hardball there.

[Bozita]

13. It doesn't take knowledge to get a Harvard MBA

Andover, Yale, Harvard.

For sale.

Dumbya escaped the experience unscathed.

21. yeah, Bush himself went there and look what he learned

[smirkymonkey]

23. If you ask me, that just lowers the prestige of a Harvard MBA

I wonder how long those who actually HAVE the credentials to attend HBS will tolerate this little puke.

[The_Casual_Observer]

14. He is being groomed to marry the daughter.

Needs a degree to be cultured. Apparently the curriculum is a cakewalk.

[Bozita]

15. Yes. Let's see. I visualize a sure-fire hedge fund manager

I'm prescient.

His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzadin Waddaulah, the list is endless.
