Our ex-president (or maybe his pal Andrew Roberts) is “writing” a book:

“I’m going to put people in my place, so when the history of this administration is written at least there’s an authoritarian voice saying exactly what happened,” Bush said.

    “authoritarian”?; either Bush’s actual words or brilliant satire.

    An “authoritarian voice saying exactly what happened”, no less; the would-be despot re-writing imagined-as history.
    I’m no longer one of those who wishes W would just go away. May his retirement be long, public, entertaining and, because he’s ours after all, a somewhat painful national reproach. This is the service George W Bush can do for his country: speak his mind publicly.
    Give ‘em hell, George.

    Surely even with Pres. Bush II that must have been a purposeful self-deprecation? Mustn’t it?

    I suggest we try to help him choose a title.

    My nomination: “Putting The Mess In Mesopotamia”.

    It’s been done, but I know W is still dying to use it:
    Your Welcome, America
