Dick Cheney's new book -- and big payday
Add former VP Dick Cheney to the list of politicos earning big money for memoirs. In the Bush administration, the upcoming deluge includes books by the president himself as well as wife Laura, and the ex-secretaries of State, Treasury and Defense. Of course, the Democrats are cashing in too, with President Obama and anyone remotely connected to his campaign or family getting a book deal.
Cheney's deal is worth a reported $2 million, according to The New York Times. It will focus on the past 40 years of his life, mostly in Washington, and will be published in the spring of 2011.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! If you want to put money back into the economy, buy LOOSE CHANGE, the video.Thank God, Condi warned officials not to fly on, or before 9-11. (remarkable insight Huh? ) Xtra insurance taken out for the Towers? How'd they know? ( Oh, I guess if the Towers were ever hit, this money would be used to raise the dead) If you buy this book, You support the terrorists

I for one am looking forward to this book! It is about time we get some balance and a historic perspective instead on the same old hate filled talk polluting the minds of the idiot masses!

WAR FOR OIL COMMUNISTS ARE SILENT NOW. NO CINDY SHEEHAN DRAGGING HER SON'S DESECRATED BODY AROUND KENNEDY VENEZUELA FOR COMMUNIST VOTES. NOW THAT OBAMA BIN LADEN IS COMMISSAR EMIR, AMERICANS WILL DIE UNNOTICED SLIPPED BACK INTO TOWN IN COFFINS DRAPED WITH BANNED FLAGS THAT 48 DEMONCRAT SENATORS VOTED TO BURN. CHENEY WAS A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS. A PROFESSIONAL VICE PRESIDENT.
WHERE IS THE LIST OF RUMSFELD'S MISTAKES THAT WE NEVER SAW? ONLY COMMUNIST HEARSAY.
