Oh, please! ... Really?

This phuque’s book is out and of course I have no intention of reading it...especially because it doesn’t come with crayons. So here are some reviews. Knock your sox off.

By WSJ Staff

The George W. Bush media blitz for his memoir “Decision Points” has begun. The book has a print run of roughly 1.5 million copies and the former president has a busy schedule ahead of him while promoting the book this week. Tonight, the former President’s interview with Matt Lauer — in which he angrily called rapper Kanye West’s criticism of his treatment of Hurricane Katrina “a disgusting moment, pure and simple” — aired on NBC, and he’ll be joining the Today show host live on-air on Wednesday. Tomorrow, pre-taped segments with Oprah Winfrey and Sean Hannity will debut.

I'm sorry. I tried not to comment. I lost.
That moron actually knows what a decision is? Really?


But what of the book itself, which is being released Nov. 9 by Random House and clocks in at 500 pages?  Here’s a sampling of reviews.

Random House printed the 500 page piece of s**t? What did that moron write about that took 500 pages? He probably hasn't had 500 pages of thoughts...all added up...together....

Now I've given myself a headache...oh, phuque!  I hate when that happens.

    * “Certainly it’s the most casual of presidential memoirs: how many works in the genre start as a sort of evangelical, 12-step confession (“Could I continue to grow closer to the Almighty or was alcohol becoming my god?”), include some off-color jokes and conclude with an aside about dog poop?…Despite the eagerness of Mr. Bush to portray himself as a forward-leaning, resolute leader, this volume sometimes has the effect of showing the former president as both oddly passive and strangely cavalier. [Michiko Kakutani, New York Times]

    * “Still, Bush tells us things we didn’t know. He was blindsided when Senator John McCain went on TV announcing that he was suspending his presidential campaign to attend a White House meeting on rescuing the economy that Bush hadn’t yet agreed to convene. Bush went along with it, hoping it might help McCain “mount a comeback.” Another bit of news — Bush briefly considered dumping Dick Cheney, who cast a dark and heartless Darth Vader pall over the White House, in favor of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. He had been behind a similar effort in 1992 when he wanted his dad to install Cheney and get rid of Dan Quayle.” [ Margaret Carlson, Bloomberg]

    * “Bush wants to clean up the record on Iraq, Afghanistan, stem-cell research, Katrina and all the other major controversies that shaped, and bedeviled, his administration. This is understandable. No one who has been at the very epicenter of world affairs for a full eight years wants to be judged unkindly by history, to which in the end every president turns his attention and his hopes. It’s a pity, though, that in the process of presenting himself before the bar of history he didn’t make a good book out of it. In the light of precedent, that was to be expected.” [Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post]

So, there you have it...probably the kindest prose that could possibly be written by a moron.

Please! American voters! Let's don't let this happen again. Your vote really does count. If your three year old is smarter than the president, your three year old would probably cause less damage to our country than this moron...just give the three year old nap time!
