Bush Can't Write His Own Book
Quote:
|
Bush lifts quotes word for word, passing them off as his own recollections. He took equal license in lifting from nonfiction books about his presidency or newspaper or magazine articles from the time. Far from shedding light on how the president approached the crucial "decision points" of his presidency, the clip jobs illuminate something shallower and less surprising about Bush's character: He's too lazy to write his own memoir.

Why do Republicans vote for shallow people of questionable intellect?

I think a President of the United States should be able to write a book.

Re: Bush Can't Write His Own Book
It's never all about one person anyway, it's about their life. They would use other peoples opinions and the way their lives interacted.

Why? Some of them are attorneys, why would you think they could write a book?

Re: Bush Can't Write His Own Book

Re: Bush Can't Write His Own Book
Bush lifts quotes word for word, passing them off as his own recollections. He took equal license in lifting from nonfiction books about his presidency or newspaper or magazine articles from the time. Far from shedding light on how the president approached the crucial "decision points" of his presidency, the clip jobs illuminate something shallower and less surprising about Bush's character: He's too lazy to write his own memoir.
And BTW, who wrote that?
