MSNBC's Matthews: "Does he read the paper before he comes to work?"
Card: "He skims the newspaper. Laura read it, and sometimes Laura would read it to him or at least I could tell that she had ."
Matthews: "Did he ever come into work with a bad mood because Maureen Dowd dumped all over him again in the New York Times?"
Card: "He didn't really read Maureen Dowd, but I think Laura did, and sometimes -- the president did not dwell on the editorial page or the op-ed page of any of the newspapers. He did look at the sports page, he looked at the front page. He had a good sense of what was going on."
Matthews: "Horoscopes? Did he do the horoscopes?"
Card: "He didn't do the horoscopes."
Matthews: "How about the comics?"
Card: "Sometimes the comics, but, you know, he was really into the sports page."
Card also mentions the change Bush made to his morning routine after 9/11. Wanna guess? Yeah, he starting coming in 15 minutes earlier. He used that time to try to smoke Osama out of his hole.
