Bush's book is #1.

Buy it!

ADDED: Bush is on "Oprah" today, you know. I've got my DVR set. And he's on Rush Limbaugh right now.

Done. And I'll buy Obama's book when it comes out in 2013, too.; 11/9/10, 8:57 AM
The Crack Emcee said...: Bush Two; 11/9/10, 9:09 AM
Chase said...: Done - on sale early last night at the Barnes and Noble.

Loved the guy.; 11/9/10, 9:10 AM
Robert Cook said...: I wonder how many of those who have bought or will buy Bush's book will be able to read it.; 11/9/10, 9:10 AM
Chase said...: Thank you Robert; 11/9/10, 9:11 AM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I did, but I have to wait a week to get it.. considering that its from the man who wanted to change the toner in Washington.; 11/9/10, 9:11 AM
master cylinder said...: He's signing books in Big D right now. Lots of folks lined up at the Borders in Preston Royal. People love him in the northern part of Dallas.; 11/9/10, 9:21 AM
Big Mike said...: I'm tempted.

(Ah, Chase, my friend, I think that the good Professor was hinting that you should go through her link to Amazon -- she gets a tiny commission when that happens. Beats hitting the tip jar.)

@master cylinder, there are a lot of places where people love him. That number of places will continue to grow as citizens get more and more acquainted with his successor.; 11/9/10, 9:26 AM
Tank said...: Did we all not just finish living through this guy's BS?

Why should I reward him for spending like a drunken sailor and dashing off to several unnecessary overseas "adventures."

He only looks good (in any way) compared to Captain Kickass.; 11/9/10, 9:39 AM
Chase said...: I'm just going to throw this out there:

This conservative believes that TARP - not the "stimulus - begun under President Bush was a success. An only-pull-this-kind-of-trigger once in a century success. Plus, it's paying for itself and will make a profit for the government. Imagine that.; 11/9/10, 9:44 AM
The Crack Emcee said...: Wow - the rollout of my latest album started today, too - what a koinky dink!; 11/9/10, 9:44 AM
Unknown said...: I'll be back in school for a while, so my reading time is going to be full, but I'll catch it in paperback.

I wonder how many of those who have bought or will buy Bush's book will be able to read it.

How very Saki of you.

PS From what Pelosi Galore has told us, a lot more Tea Partiers are willing to read something than Leftist Democrats.; 11/9/10, 9:45 AM
TWM said...: I've ordered one for me - via Kindle - and four others hard copy as Christmas gifts, including one for a liberal acquaintence of mine.

She won't read it, of course, being one of the most close-minded people I've ever met, but the look on her face will be an added Christmas present to myself; 11/9/10, 9:45 AM

Robert, if Bush supporters are so dumb, how is it that you routinely get your ass kicked on this blog?

You're the high school punk who feels a need to brag about how many babes he's laid (Virgin Alert!).; 11/9/10, 9:49 AM
Robert Cook said...: "Robert, if Bush supporters are so dumb, how is it that you routinely get your ass kicked on this blog?"

Haha...I hadn't noticed that has ever happened.; 11/9/10, 10:00 AM
Scott M said...: I don't know about ass-kicking, but are you suggesting you've never been wrong...not once...in all of your comments on this blog?; 11/9/10, 10:07 AM
Sixty Bricks said...: Maybe in a parallel universe I am buying that book but not in this one.; 11/9/10, 10:08 AM
Robert Cook said...: "I don't know about ass-kicking, but are you suggesting you've never been wrong...not once...in all of your comments on this blog?"

I've made statements I would reconsider or revise, but...outright wrong?

Nothing that I didn't acknowledge at the time.; 11/9/10, 10:21 AM
The Crack Emcee said...: O.K. - old meme:

Robert Cook is a fool.

New meme:

Robert Cook is delusional.

The new one's better because we can feel sorry for him.; 11/9/10, 10:26 AM
Hoosier Daddy said...: I've made statements I would reconsider or revise, but...outright wrong?

Kind of reminds me when Bush was asked after his first term if he made any mistakes and he said nope.; 11/9/10, 10:38 AM
MamaM said...: Comprehension: the act or fact of grasping the meaning, nature, or importance of; understanding.

While Robert Cook wonders about the ability of Bush book buyers to be able to read, his own ability to comprehend comes into question.; 11/9/10, 10:45 AM
Robert Cook said...: "While Robert Cook wonders about the ability of Bush book buyers to be able to read, his own ability to comprehend comes into question."

Not at all; I was just being snarky. After all, if a person can't think, can we assume they read?; 11/9/10, 10:58 AM
Jim said...: I wonder how many of those who have bought or will buy Bush's book will be able to read it.

It depends. Are you going to have someone help you with the big words?; 11/9/10, 11:07 AM
Chip Ahoy said...: How To Be Persuasive

You'll have a good laugh as you recognize the embodiment of all that right here in these comments on any given day on any given post.

As for the book, the good bits will be thoroughly discussed online. Like a crossword, the rest filler seen many times in various forms. I can safely give it a miss. A savings of one book.; 11/9/10, 11:23 AM
Jim said...: Will Bush be reading the audiobook himself? I'd be interested to see what Richard Christy would do with it.; 11/9/10, 11:36 AM
Terrye said...: Robert Cook:

I don't have to worry about that because I got in on audio.; 11/9/10, 12:40 PM
Terrye said...: rdkraus:

I want to read his book because I miss having an adult in the White House...and as far as him spending like a drunken sailor, he is sober as judge compared to the Democrats.; 11/9/10, 12:43 PM
Terrye said...: Chase:

This is true. If the spending had begun and ended with TARP we would not be looking at a trillion dollar deficit right now. The real culprit was the stimulus, obamacare and the long recession that destroyed tax receipts.; 11/9/10, 12:45 PM
Clyde said...: @ Robert Cook

I'm sure that you're correct and all of the Bush book buyers (and would-be buyers) just come here to look at the pretty pictures and have someone else read the words aloud to them over their shoulder.; 11/9/10, 12:47 PM
Big Mike said...: I was just being snarky. After all, if a person can't think, can we assume they read?

I don't know. Can you?; 11/9/10, 12:55 PM
Anonymous said...: I'd buy it, but Tom Petty's remastered deluxe edition of "Damn the Torpedoes" comes out today and a guy's got to have priorities. Maybe I'll get it for Christmas.; 11/9/10, 12:56 PM
Tank said...: Terrye

Here's a reminder from Malkin of some of the great things Bush did for us:

1) joined with open-borders progressives McCain and Kennedy to try to force shamnesty down our throats;
2) massively expanded the federal role in education;

3) championed the Medicare prescription drug entitlement using phony math;

4) kowtowed to the jihadi-enabling Saudis;

5) stocked DHS with incompetents and cronies;

6) pushed Hillarycare for housing;

7) enabled turncoat Arlen Specter;

8. nominated crony Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court;

9) pre-socialized the economy for Obama by embracing TARP, the auto bailouts, the AIG bailout …

To say his spending looks good compared to the big Zero is faint praise inded.; 11/9/10, 1:28 PM
