GRAPEVINE, Page 15ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Wendy Cole
You know things are bad when folks at the White House
joke about the good old days under Sununu. SAM SKINNER is
taking some heat for the current drift at Bush Central. The
White House chief of staff met with top Bush operatives last
week to discuss leaks, a phenomenon with which some of those in
the room certainly have a passing acquaintance. Assuring the
group that he assumed none of them would ever leak, Skinner
asked them to help stop unauthorized chatter. Some left the
meeting shaking their heads. Many of the most damaging comments
from Administration insiders of late have concerned the lack of
a coherent Bush re-election strategy. Stopping the leaks won't
solve the problem. While the Democrats are shooting it out,
Bush's troops are concerned that he's wasting time and missing
opportunities. Said one who attended the meeting: "There simply
is no discipline. George Bush is probably going to win, but
he'll win by default."
