I'll gladly purchase and read that book. As much as I despise Bush's politics, I can't hate the guy personally, and I am interested in what he has to say.

I can bring myself to expect anything insightful, revelatory, or non-self-serving from him in this book.

It isn't as though he'll be writing it himself anyway.

will he actually be writing it or will he be employing ghost writers?

Seem to have been thinking along the same lines as you at exactly the same time...

Yes but he's supplying the content that the ghost writer shapes into a story. Bush is going to talk about how brave he was, how he considered all the options, how his faith guided him, no one suffered more than him when American soldiers lost their lives, etc. and once he made his decision he stuck by it and did what he thought was best for America. His parents have been helpful role models, yadda yadda zzzzzzz....

Will they even bother with that stage? I mean, it's like you say... and it's not as though details of Bush's private life are hard to come across.

I disdain all political books, so I will avoid this effort.

But isn't it telling the responses from the leftist posters on this thread, smirking and sneering at the thought of a former president, who they actually think he is an illiterate, daring to writing a book in his retirement. These people truly do believe their own nonsense, as though their collected prejudices constituted the font of all knowledge.

I am //this ready// to see just one person cut through all of this leftist posturing pseudo-intellectual bullsh**t once and for all.

In my defense (haha) I'd have written basically the same thing about (almost) any career politician or public figure.
