W. to Write Book
EmailIn an interview with Brit Hume on Fox News Sunday, President George W. Bush said his post-presidential career would include writing a book. He said he was still thinking about what it would be about, but likely it would focus on "the toughest decisions I had to make in my presidency and the context in which I made them."

Unfortunately people will buy this book.

I will notify the guards of the ICC in The Hague that prisoner nr 666 will need sharp objects to write with.

W’s ghost writer will write the book. Unless William’s right about the Hague, then he’ll need to requisition out the pen and paper. But then he’s better at speaking than writing and his attention span couldn’t be sustained to write one, even in a very low stimulation environment.

Scrambled or over easy in the context of Sunday breakfast.

A sequel to “My Pet Goat,” perhaps?

Like everything in dubya’s life a book will be written by a ghost writer, remember this man cannot tie his own shoes, let alone write his story.
The only way I would buy it is if it were written from a jail cell, this man deserves to be charged with war crimes and treason.

Well, as they say, “A writer writes….”

Just a memory from my GRE preparation days. I read in my study material Smarten Your Communication through Wit & Wisdom, that “That is a good book which opened with expectation and closed with profit.” Like Bill Clinton and the other Clinton, it is profitable to be controversial, because your book will sell..well!

I don’t understand how anyone can refer to having someone ghostwrite a book, as writing a book themselves. It is more like he will have a book written.

Lydia- The leniency with the facts will get worse with the Bush Legacy Project. The ghost writer, I would imagine, would come from the group and support its contentions. I would speculate the same donors and individuals who were instrumental with establishing the GWB library on the SMU campus will also be proactive with the project and book deal. It’s too bad Southern Methodist University was stuck with that kind of infamy, which will only worsen.

“I hope he spills the beans and tells all about how the MSM and the liberals deliberately undermined our national security and got Americans killed.”
Now Ashley Todd’s biggest fan wants Bush to blame his ineptness on 9/11 on liberals.

PUH-LEEEEZE! I didn’t think Bush knew how to write. He did a bad job reading “My Pet Goat” once also, I heard.

I remember when citizens of the United States of America were proud of their country and considered it to be the best in the world. We called our presidents by their title and last name. What has happened to American pride and decency?
No matter what problems were faced during a presidential term, the people discussed it but did not bash the presidents like today. People today are quick to disrespect anyone with a different opinion. It wasn’t just President George W. Bush who took this country where it is today. Think about it…with an open mind and clarity.
