Let's assume that * writes his memoirs after he's "retired" in November.
Of course, we're talking "ghostwritten". * is no John Updike, that's for sure.

Would you read *'s memoirs? Or would they be a 500 page list of lies/ Would there be ANY kind of entertainment value or ANY kind of value in *'s memoirs?

2. I would get it from the library
And I would probably download it for ebook reading, but pay for it? Not even to wipe my ass.

3. He does not have the patience to read anything, why should we think
he can write anything. Please--he is so stupid and so sleezy--he will not write a thing. Someone else will write it--and he will put his name to it and Laura will say he actually wrote it.

In my local library, the anti-Bush books are being signed up for reserve--and the library is getting those books which apparently have been requested. I am reading Krugman, and hubby is reading Franken. I have also read the O'Neil book, which the library has stacked but it has not yet reached the stacks. Too mamny people are reserving it. Today, I saw Poppy Bush's book on the shelf, No one apparently is interested in his book. LOL Who would be?


All the others have not yet even made it to the stacks--people are signed up for all of them and there is a waiting list.

that he will draw his memoirs.

Or maybe just do the coloring-in

5. I need to put him in the past
I couldn't read it because I would need time to decompress. I have been generally stressed out for 3 years now. I need a break.

But it would just be spin anyway. This is a man who cannot conceive of himself making a mistake.

6. I sure as hell wouldn't spend $.01 to read *'s rationalizations...
for all the mess that he's plunged the world into.

Remember, this is a guy who only reads the sports section of the daily paper -- and even that's spotty.

The very idea of "* memoirs" is a hoot in itself!

9. And beyond memoirs, will he be teaching a course at Yale? Or
Harvard? Guest lecturer at any adademic institution? Any private businesses hiring him because of his "connections"? Anyone want his insights on international politics? Anyone? Anyone. . . . . . .?

10. Would it be a "pop-up" book? If so, then maybe...
I'd get a kick out of seeing a three-dimensional rendering of Cheney's cold, dark heart or Condi's teeth.
