On Sarah Palin: “‘I’m trying to remember if I’ve met her before. I’m sure I must have.’ His eyes twinkled, then he asked, ‘What is she, the governor of Guam?‘ … ‘This woman is being put into a position she is not even remotely prepared for,’ he said. ‘She hasn’t spent one day on the national level. Neither has her family. Let’s wait and see how she looks five days out.’” On Barack Obama: “He came in one day to rehearse a speech, fuming. ‘This is a dangerous world,’ he said for no apparent reason, ‘and this cat [Obama] isn’t remotely qualified to handle it. This guy has no clue, I promise you.’” On Hillary Clinton: “Wait till her fat keister is sitting at this desk. On Joe Biden: “If bull– was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire.” In 2008, Bush also told Latimer to take out a reference to the “conservative movement” in a speech. “Let me tell you something,” the President said. “I whupped Gary Bauer’s ass in 2000. So take out all this movement stuff. There is no movement.” When Latimer was “perplexed,” Bush explained, “Look, I know this probably sounds arrogant to say,” the president said, “but I redefined the Republican Party.”

Seems honest and accurate enough throughout. "Compassionate conservative" is revealed as just more liberalism and fascism with appropriate marketing lingo. I don't think you can call Bush dishonest; he was always pretty straightforward about it, going back to his refusal as governor to appear at the TX GOP convention (too many actual conservatives there) or how Rove deliberately sabotaged the conservatives on the TX state board of education so liberals could dominate and Bush could market his fraudulent education reforms.
