Memories from the East Wing: Dori Thornton Waller & Susan Whitson
About this episode
The episode features a behind-the-scenes look at the East Wing during the Bush Administration with guests Dori Thornton Waller and Susan Whitson.
From state dinners with the Queen of England or the Pope, to regular meetings with our nation’s leaders, to special events inviting hundreds of guests like the Easter Egg Roll, and to memorable moments for presidential pets like Barney Bush, the White House is always abuzz with activity. This week, The Strategerist meets with a couple of people who quietly kept the People’s House working: Dori Thornton Waller, former Deputy Social Secretary, and Susan Whitson, former Press Secretary to Mrs. Bush, for a behind-the-scenes look inside the East Wing during the Bush Administration.
