“Hey, Remember When I Fucked Everything Up for 8 Years Straight?”

Here’s a story about Bush’s inevitable memoirs:

In less than three months, President-elect Barack Obama will take office and the Bush administration will belong to history. With the president reportedly interested in writing about his White House years, publishers have a suggestion:

Take your time.

“If I were advising President Bush, given how the public feels about him right now, I think patience would probably be something that I would encourage,” says Paul Bogaards, executive director of publicity for Alfred A. Knopf, which in 2004 released Bill Clinton’s million-selling “My Life.”

That’s probably good advice. I wonder what poor sucker is gonna get saddled with the task of ghost-writing the thing?

It will probably be a picture book.

President Bush please waste no time in publishing these crucial memoirs! After all the late night Obama Victory parties, all the liquor, and all the sex with ecstatic strangers I have a feeling I'm gonna get the flu sooner or later. Usually my flu comes with the accompanying shits something fierce. I am willing to pay top dollar for Class A wipe, Mr. President!

6, no that's where the ghost writer comes in. someone who is good at fantasy writing will be the obvious choice if bush wants his legacy bio to be favorable to him.

It will be a pop-up book, but it will be broken. You can only pull the strings so many times.

@6, it will be a coloring book. At best.

The man is basically functionally illiterate and incapable of pronunciation, let alone authorship. If he had anything to say in the first place.

More lies. Blaming someone else. Insist things just were not that bad. Change the subject. What a no good prick he is.

There is no statute of limitation for murder.

I wonder if you have to hold it upside-down, like the book he was holding when he was told about the WTC disaster that morning in Florida?
