Plagiarism? George Bush Book 'Decision Points'??

04 Apr 2011 06:27 #1 by kresspin
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.

Crown also got a mash-up of worn-out anecdotes from previously published memoirs written by his subordinates, from which 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.

You libs just can't get over it can you? Here is a clue because you obviously don't have one. This country has a long proud history of electing morons to the white house. With the exception of about 4 in the pat 100 years have seen the oval office occupied by some of the biggest POSs the country has produced. Harping on Bush's shortcomings ain't ever going to change the fact that the current occupant is the biggest POS of all. Deal with it, and spend your money on real authors. Oh that's right, you didn't read it either. You just regurgitated some other leftist hacks crap.

Plagarize yourself? Reminds me of when CCR frontman John Fogerty went solo and was sued by his former manager for sounding too much like CCR.
