		Doug Wead, former advisor to George H.W. Bush and counselor to Dubya, has a history of self-promotion and crass opportunism.

		And so, armed with a guaranteed publicity stunt and prepped to shill his book, Doug has been circling around various media outlets, waiting for his chance at self-promotion.
