NBC's White House correspondent David Gregory made his own anchor Brian Williams a key participant in his behind-the-scenes story of George Bush's presidency. He covered the highlights from Robert Draper's new book on Bush Dead Certain by airing soundbites of Williams' interview with Draper on the MSNBC cable news channel. Gregory included "gossipy" bits about Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Harriet Miers and Colin Powell. The President himself "is not one for introspection" as Gregory put it, so Draper speculated on his younger years as a heavy drinker, paraphrasing his conversation with First Lady Laura: "George pretty much does everything to excess. Now, in a way, his substitute addiction is exercise."
