Antigua To Name Mountain After Obama - Publishers Show Little Interest In Bush Memoirs
I'll admit that naming a mountain after President-elect Obama before he's even sworn in might be a tad over the top. But, it does show the overwhelming enthusiasm and support he is receiving from around the globe and the stark contrast between our new president and the outgoing national embarrassment that is George W. Bush.
The prime minister of Antigua wants to rename the island's highest mountain Mount Obama in honour of the US president-elect.
The prime minister, Baldwin Spencer, announced the plans on Wednesday in a congratulatory letter to Barack Obama.
Antigua's attorney general, Justin Simon, said he would find out if parliament needed to approve the name change. The political analyst Avel Grant said it could draw more tourists to the island. Read on...
As for Dubya? Well, the comedy world is going to miss him, but he's finding out that the rest of the world just isn't that into him:
In less than three months, President-elect Barack Obama will take office and the Bush administration will belong to history. With the president reportedly interested in writing about his White House years, publishers have a suggestion:
Take your time.
"If I were advising President Bush, given how the public feels about him right now, I think patience would probably be something that I would encourage," says Paul Bogaards, executive director of publicity for Alfred A. Knopf, which in 2004 released Bill Clinton's million-selling "My Life." Read on...
How can you have memoirs without memory?
The mantra of this national nightmare has been, "I don't recall."
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Maybe he'll write about the pretzel incident.
The only memoir of Bush I was to see it the one The Daily Show puts together for their January 19th show.
Thanks, but no thanks.
there's NO interest now but there will be. it will be very important to watch how history is written. there will
plenty of influence to have a certain perspective about BUSH. everyone has their own interpretation of the truth.
Why don't you e-mail Knopf and get your name on a waiting list? BTW, "truth" is strictly a term for either logic or ideology. A "fact", on the other hand, reflects reality and the reality is that W is a war criminal. The invasion of a sovereign state for any other reason other than self-defense is an international war crime. Before you send in your name, do a little reading about the Nuremburg Trials post-WWII. If you do, replace "Germany" with "United States". It might give you cause to ponder a bit.

Good for a hoot!

...maybe the Iraqis can name one of their many mass graves after Dumbya.
President-elect Obama will speak at 2:30 eastern time and also take questions from reporters. He's going to speak about the economy.
I think it's wonderful that other countries are so excited about our new soon to be president. Remember after the 2004 elections someone started a website titled "We're sorry world"? People from all over the US expressed their apologies for the reelection of george bush. Well today maybe someone can start a "You're welcome world" and people from other countries can tell us what they think of our new presidential choice.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
did you search to see if the name is taken?
Nope, just throwing the idea out there if anyone wants it.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
"If I were advising President Bush, given how the public feels about him right now, I think patience would probably be something that I would encourage." Another mealy-mouthed statement from a corporate tool (Executive Director of publicity?? What happened to all those MBAs when they were going up?? Do they really believe this bullshit??). Anyway, better advice for Dubya would be to spend a little time at a community college in Crawford, Texas, and register in one of those remedial writing courses that they offer. Also, I'm sure that the relatives of the 300,000 Iraqi citizens that have been killed since the INVASION (not war) of 2003 would love to read his thoughts on that specific war crime. Heck, if Knopf finally does decide to publish his (??) book, maybe they will give those same families a discount. Might be good for business. Fuck you, Paul Bogaards.

Just goes to show how out of touch this goon is.
He really believes that people give a fuck about his life, thoughts (what few there are), etc.
A far more interesting, appropriate and probably marketable book
would be one in which individuals that have been harmed by the policies
of this perpetual frat boy and his mob relate how they have been
impacted by all of the mayhem these wastes of stem cells have created.
I really didn't care what he tought eight years ago, I can't imagine
I'm alone.
So it turns out readers have a liberal bias.
Bush should know this better than anyone.
As if he would be truthful. I doubt it.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Martin Luther King, Jr? Personally, I'm tired of MLK Jr Blvd always being a gateway to the most impoverished neighborhoods; the man deserves better.

Something like Helter skelter. He couldn't write it himself. Maybe he could hire a ghost writer.
Yeah, I think he would need a ghost writer, as I doubt that he has the self-discipline needed to write. His campaign autobiography, A Charge to Keep, was largely due to a Texas sports writer (I cannot remember his name) and Karen Hughes.
1) 911, and "My Pet Goat" while it was happening.
2) Iraq war and 4189 dead as well as 43,787 wounded service men and women; oh year, a loss at the cost of almost a trillion dollars.
3) economy tanking twice
4) election fraud for both elections
5) Halliburton and other no-bid scams
6) high gas prices and record profits for the oil companies every quarter of his presidency, and doing nothing about it
7) never admitting to his mistakes and not apologizing to the American people for committing them
8) Guantanamo and the erosion of human rights
9) allowing and even encouraging torture
10) The housing bubble breaking, and the mortgage crisis
It might get some interest.
Throw in the removal of habeus corpus and you've got yourself a best-seller. Of course, not all citizens will be able to buy a copy because they will be in a cell somewhere without the right to be apprised of the charges that have been laid against them or to have legal counsel/representation.

Obama will be speaking shortly.
After being briefed on so many inside things and seeing what a mess he has inherited, he's probably gonna ask for a re-count of the votes.

"Certainly the longer he waits, the better," says Marji Ross, president and publisher of the conservative Regnery Publishing, which is more likely to take on anti-Obama books in the next few years than any praises of Bush.

"Only in hindsight will history show whether Bush is deemed to be a good president who sacrificed his presidency for what he believed in or whether history judges him to be a failed president," Ross says.
Bush as martyr?? Well, well, well . . I never saw that one coming!!

Will these people ever wake up to reality? WTF?
It would be more of a challenge to write a book about the good things his presidency had done for the country.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
That wouldn't be a book, just a blank piece of paper
how big will Jan. 19, 2009 be? Imagine counting down the seconds like New Years (5...4...3...2...)
"memoir"...
Révélations?

Doesn't someone need to be able to read before they write a book? Maybe Bush could put out a coloring book first and see how that goes. They could give away free crayons with each book.
It will take toad boy a year to pick which color of crayon to write the book with. Lets go now to Dubyas mind to see what deep insights he has to inspire us, "enie-meanie,-chilie beanie, oh look there's something shiny,ohooooo,ahaaaa,ohooo." Can't wait to see the last of his criminal ass!-CEO,citizens,eyes,open.
He's speaking right now. How refreshing, and reassuring to hear him sound so knowledgeable and eloquent! An intelligent human being, soon to be in charge! Beats the hell out of Joe the Plumber or Caribou Barbie!!!
It's not only that he sounds knowledgeable and eloquent, he's clearly thinking about the issues/problems, and he's not afraid to be seen with people who have better credentials/expertise.
Indeed!! Spot on. Man do we need that!! And the expertise!!
But only if I was guaranteed there would be no spoilers for My Pet Goat. I haven't read that one yet and I want to be surprised.
Texas is gonna name a sinkhole in honor of GW Bush.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
apt...
Sad to say, Proposition R didn't pass.
But I understand there's a sewer facility in Fallujah that needs naming ...
who would have to be reminded of that asshole going to work everyday
instead, on jan 19, they are organizing "take a shit day" in golden gate park, where thousands will spell out bush in feces
How apt indeed.

Oh, and they usually start because there's a dribble, often from a broken pipe/infrastructure, that erodes things beneath ground that otherwise seems stable.
That's Bush all over.
Some possibilities could be a toilet or a jail cell.
How 'bout we name the nasty ass gas station bathroom wall mounted condom machines after him?

Maybe we should have a contest of what to name after boosh.
Might I suggest an abattoir?

taken some time to do the research but I think I can establish without a doubt that no coloring book has ever cracked the NYT bestsellers list. Hence the publisher's disinterest.

How long do we all have to wait for the official decision? At what point does 'history' decide, yup, this man will definitely go down as the worst president ever, all right - a disgrace to the office, an embarrassment to the American people, and an indelible black mark on the reputation and integrity of the United States?
Tomorrow? January, when he finally vacates the White House? Next year? Fifty years from now? A hundred?

I've been up Obama Mountain back in 1974 while stationed there in the Navy. The road to the top was not meant for a car, it broke down before reaching the summit. I believe the British had/have a secure "weather observation station" at the top. Antigua was the best duty I ever had.

they should name a prison after dumbya and dump his ass in it forever. then force him to get sodomized and shit on repeatedly by every inmate
His memoir should be called:
"DWI - Deciding While Ignorant"
Although I like the idea of his having plenty of time in prison to catch up on his literature and then scribble his own story down with a stubby pencil on cigarette papers, in which case the title could be:
"The Ballad of Reading in Gaol"
Gaol, where you from? I'm surprised you didn't refer to turnkeys.
Do you say tyre, kerb, klew, bonnet and boot of a car, lorry, lift and call-box?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Guilty as charged! I am a new citizen and voted in a presidential election for the first time this year.
As for the specific spelling of "jail"/"gaol", I don't think Bush has read this, but in the light of the vote in California, everyone should:

They can even arrange to sell boxes to conservative donors to prop the book high up on the Best Sellers list. They don't pay well, but hey-- he's got money. It's all about the legacy, right?

My Memoirs by G.W. Bush
LOL!!! Well you could add the sentence 'I lied and people died.' in the middle.
Government + the Federal Reserve = organized crime
It's widely accepted and thankfully believed now, all too late, that the Warpig is a pathological liar who had no more business being the Leader of The Free World than the author of 'The Pet Goat' (that's the real title and all due respect to the authors). It would be full of lies and propaganda and would be a work of fiction in the genre of fantasy/adventure.
