Bush to write book on decision-making

Former President George W. Bush, who called himself "The Decider," has signed a deal to write a book about how he made decisions.
"I want people to understand the environment in which I was making decisions. I want people to get a sense of how decisions were made and I want people to understand the options that were placed before me," Bush told the AP.
The book, tentatively called Decision Points, is scheduled for a 2010 release. Bush will concentrate on about a dozen personal and presidential choices, such as giving up drinking and his relationship with his father, the AP said. He will also write about sending troops to Iraq and his highly criticized response to Hurricane Katrina.
Now that should be interesting.
Bush's wife, Laura, has already signed a book deal, as has key adviser Condi Rice.

Ghost-written by Cheney?

I would swear to you - in fact, for the better part of a decade I did swear to anyone and everyone - that this man has never read a book. And now, he's writing one! Is this a great country or what??

Most likely Bush's toughest decision was whether or not to take his head out of his butt. He decided not to. But on second thought maybe he didn't have enough info to make that decision since he couldn't find his butt even with both hands. He is one of those few people in history about whom it can truly be said that the world would been a better place had he never been born.

OMG!!! This'll be one for the comic book store shelves.

Such hate. What, y'all done hating Rush already? Though after 8 years of such hate I suppose it is instinctual by now.

I laugh at how the lame stream media accuses conservatives of formenting hate - and yet Willard, Jim Dandy, Eve and WP Tandy should review their own screeds.

I did not like the fact that Bush did not stop the overspending. I also did not like the fact that his desire for bipartisanship kept him from calling the Dems who prevented any reform of Wall Street regulation.

There were, however, some good things that happened in the last 8 years. However, the hate-mongers such as Willard, Jim Dandy, Eve, WP Tandy and their like will ignore these in favor of their sophmoric (and moronic) navel gazing.
