Bush Ghost Writers quite lazy - Many lifted passages found in "Decision Points"

[kaiser soze]

Not so honest in Office, not so honest out. So will people be surprised? Will his supporters even care? Will the media continue to float along in his fairy tale with him without providing the truth to their viewers?

Looks like we're too far down the rabbit hole.

When Crown Publishing inked a deal with George W. Bush for his memoirs, the publisher knew it wasn't getting Faulkner. But the book, at least, promises "gripping, never-before-heard detail" about the former president's key decisions, offering to bring readers "aboard Air Force One on 9/11, in the hours after America's most devastating attack since Pearl Harbor; at the head of the table in the Situation Room in the moments before launching the war in Iraq," and other undisclosed and weighty locations

Now, I guess everyone will give him a pass on admitting to war crimes in the form of torture and making a massively destructive and reprehensible move to wage war on Iraq. But plagarism isa complete fucking wash of any and all credentials as a former president. This guy couldn't form a coherent sentence nonetheless a complete book of sincere reflection.

Next time you're at a bookstore, snatch up a couple of copies and put them where they truly belong - in the Fiction section, or crime section, mythology, or even with the comics.

Bush in the news currently ain't so bad.

The more we're reminded of Obama's predecessor, the more we remember the mess he had to deal with how much better dealing with a deeper crisis he didn't create.

Plus, we all need cheering up in winter so Bush the non-hater offers us some light relief (y) (y)

Well some of us are not as fond of plagiarism as others *ehem* - and I am not a big fan of revisionist history as well. This man deserves the continual exposure as the fraud and failure that he is. This book and his statements made in his interviews should be considered as evidence against him. It is political - it brings on the warm fuzzy feeling for his followers and the GOP/Repubs and that stinks. Ripping off other's ideas does not prove that bush is trustworthy, it just proves he will do whatever it takes to get what he wants - a filthy spoiled brat.

We must learn and act from history - I don't get how people forget or willfully ignore the facts (or lies) presented.

Amazon.com customer review by Gen. JC Christian, Patriot (http://www.amazon.com/review/R1V8ZWOOOLNSRL/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0307590615&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode=).

They aren't easy books to write. Facts create roadblocks that the ex-president must overcome. Most attempt to do so by twisting and tearing at the facts until an acceptable truth emerges. My president, Our Glorious Leader George W. Bush, boldly took another approach. He tortured the facts until they confessed to their treachery. Then, He summarily executed them with a Hellfire-C missile launched from a Predator drone.

And the results are breathtaking. I stood up and cheered when I read His claim that waterboarding isn't torture because He paid His lawyers to say it isn't. That's chutzpah, my friends. It's a zen kind of chutzpah, one that is only achieved when self delusion and a supreme lack of self-awareness come into perfect balance.

When do you usually find out about what Presidents "really" did until after they are no longer serving? Clinton's and Bush's policies still have ripple effects into Obama's. Why would you overlook them?

[kaiser soze]

Because according to him - Obama inherited the White House and all the crap bush left behind, bush and his cabinet are absolved of their actions (or lack thereof)

Yeah we blame bush, he's the one who pushed the snowball down the hill. This is why we are seeing Obama fall into step with the policies - and I'm not particularly impressed with that.

But this isn't about politics, it's about lying and cheating, and stealing and this book proves that and it's just another reflection (albeit a poor one) on bush's legacy.

Don't blame me for this, blame bush's ghost writer!
