George W Bush's audacious return to the national stage

George W Bush's audacious return to the national stage You have to marvel at George W Bush's audacious return to the national stage not to mention his curious timing. After all, there wasn't what you would call an overwhelming popular demand clamoring for his reappearance. Apparently even putative war criminals got to make a living. But it's going to take more than one media blitzing book tour to scrub his image. For that he'll either need another two or three decades of restorative exile or a wire- mesh scouring pad the size of Albania.

Here comes the New Bush, just like the Old Bush. The first volume of 43's memoirs (oh, there will be more) has been released and though you know in your heart he wanted to call it "The Great Decider" or "Decisions Decided by the Deciding Decider," cooler heads prevailed at Crown Publishing Group simply titling it, "Decision Points" as told to George Bush by Dick Cheney. No. I just made that last part up. And neither is Amazon bundling the autobiography with "My Pet Goat" but it's a fiendishly good idea.

Not sure who edited this puppy, but odds are they burned through about 4 spell checks. Ironically, he's got a long way to go to live up to the standards set in previous Bush Family tell- alls especially the one penned by his mother's dog. Booksellers will surely decide which section to stock the volume geographically. In Dallas, it will go under Biography. DC, Current Events. San Francisco, Horror. And New Orleans, True Crime.
