George W. Bush: People May Be Shocked That I Can Write A Book

President George W. Bush has done an exceptional job of staying out of the media (and President Obama’s) spotlight since leaving office just over a year ago (wow…I just did a double-take…only a year!). We might begin to see and hear more from him come this November, however, which is when his book is set to be released. November 8, to be exact, which is one week after the midterms — it will be interesting to see what the national political mood is by that point and whether Bush will be out stumping for anyone under the guise of a book tour.

Anyway! Bush was talking this morning at a “closed-door Bush-Cheney alumni reunion breakfast” according to Politico’s Mike Allen, who quoted 43 thusly:

“This is going to come as quite a shock to people up here that I can write a book, much less read one.” He says former Vice President Cheney is not coming, as originally planned, but “is feeling well” and “has a fierce constitution.”

More 43: “I have no desire to see myself on television. I don’t want to be a panel of formers instructing the currents on what to do. … I’m trying to regain a sense of anonymity. I didn’t like it when a certain former president — and it wasn’t 41 or 42 — made my life miserable.” (I’m lookin’ at you, #39! The one thing the “formers” agree on: They don’t care for Jimmy Carter.)

I’d be surprised if he could count to eleven without leaving his fly unzipped.

If there were any justice in the world, he’d have a lot of time to write a book while he sits in jail for war crimes.

Surprised ?I m still shocked when i see this post.How can Bush write a book,when he doesn’t know how to count ten properly?Bravery means taking risks in the pursuit of noble goals and he doesn’t know even this word in his entire life.
