Why The Bushes Will Never Hire Linda Tripp John LeBoutillier Monday, Feb. 12, 2001 If you’re hoping that President George W. Bush will hire Linda Tripp and bring her back to the White House, don’t hold your breath. You do not understand the fundamental nature of the Bushes. Nor do you – or Matt Drudge, Tripp’s biggest booster in the media – want to recall the first time Tripp, the now-infamous whistle-blower, burst on the national scene. Back in the first Bush presidency Linda Tripp was stationed down the hall from the Oval Office. She somehow caught wind on a long known but well- kept Washington secret: President George Bush had a "special" relationship with a staffer named Jennifer Fitzgerald. In fact, Bush had been "very close" to this Jennifer beginning in Peking back in the days when Bush was our delegate to Red China. So close, in fact, that Barbara Bush had come home to D.C. in a state of "depression." Years later, during Bush's vice presidency, Jennifer Fitzgerald held a key staff post – and this caused a virtual revolt among his other loyal staffers. They hated the haughty, pushy and arrogant woman who clearly had more "access" to Bush than they did. Vice President Bush went to Geneva in 1984 during the arms talks and arranged through our negotiators to stay in a government guest house – with Jennifer Fitzgerald. Our ambassador was aghast! When Bush became president, Jennifer Fitzgerald was moved over to the protocol office inside the State Department. But she was still visible at public functions and occasionally traveled with the presidential party. Those "in the know" inside Washington knew about this relationship. A Washington Post story at the time had carefully danced around the topic, even speculating about the "positions" Fitzgerald had taken with Bush. Linda Tripp learned of it and saw it from her desk down the hall from the Oval Office. She thought it inappropriate. And she told people about it. This was no different from what she would later do in the Clinton White House when she again saw examples of presidential philandering – remember Kathleen Willey emerging disheveled with smeared lipstick from the Oval Office? Things came to a head one summer up in Kennebunkport when CNN’s Mary Tillotson asked President Bush if he was having an ‘adulterous’ affair? Bush went ballistic and decried the question even being asked. He attacked the reporter for "what you are doing." But he never answered the question. Instead he later sent out a spokesman to say, "The answer to the ‘A’ question is a big NO." The spokesman? His oldest son, George W. Bush. The Bushes have long memories. They know full well it was Linda Tripp who, among others, ratted out the Bush-Jennifer Fitzgerald relationship during the first Bush administration. And there is no way that they are going to ‘reward’ her by giving her a new White House job. To many of us Linda Tripp is a true American hero for taking on Bill Clinton. And she suffered for her courage. But to the Bushes she is the one who exposed their own scandalous behavior and subsequent cover-up.
