TCM, You are hilarious. What exactly have you questioned about Obama that is worth listening to? I challenge you to ask 10 white folk why they didn't vote for Obama and I bet you at least 5 of the answers will involve the words, Wright, muslim, socialist, citizen and black. Yes, black, as many in PA and VA admitted on air that they would never vote for a black man. Matter of fact, can you do it? Seriously, don't peek and look anything up 1st.

How is is wife racist? Ohhh, you meant she's not a patriot. OK, another sound point for you.

Rev Wright....Rev Hagee.....We call that a push round here.

And for the record, if Obama makes it thru a speech without sounding like a Hooked on Phonics graduate, he'll have already been a better president than Bush.

TCM,

I read Band of Brothers, as well as Dick Winters' memoir. All I can say is, thank you.

We can't let our great nation go down in flames.

ANDREW – oh, I see...Obama and ACORN can play the race card to win the White House, and I can't say, NAPPY?" Hurt your feelings? Well, I'm not one that sold the country out. FACE IT...all of you libs...Had Obama been white, or claimed to be white, he wouldn't have been elected...you all like shiny new novelties.....you'll tire as soon as the first tax increase hits you in the future...

@TCM

you got issues... maybe you need to discuss your anger with a therapist. give dr. phil a call.

Prouder American(?)

PRouder because your vote was bought for $10 and a beer?

I wouldn't purchase her book of lies and omissions.

Jim in MN

Correct he meets the minimum requirements...Congratulations...you've hired the minimally qualified person...the Wal-Mart greeter was over qualified, when compared to Obama....haha..trying to cite the law to me....clown..

Proud American – funny about my parents...my dad a member of the coveted BAnd of Brothers, that defended this country, as I did to let whiny wimps like you claim to be an American...well, all I can say is at least I know who my parents are....

Iraq? – Obama is one of the few who can claim he was against it.

Easy to claim since he never had to decide to vote for it or not.

TCM...YOU SAID IT ALL...THEY DIDN'T PRINT MY RESPONSE, I WAS A LITTLE TO GRAPHIC WITH MY CHOICE OF WORDS...

CT_Buda January 6th, 2009 12:04 am ET

Like the Bushes *need* the money. How vain! How about NO book deal because we don't need to feed our Republican ego.
__________________________________________________
Certainly the Obama's dont need the money, you feel the same about their many books they have written?

Hey Jeff B......you are a courageous man to still support George Bush. I did not vote for him either time he ran because the Office of the President of the Unites States did not belong to the Village Idiot! I unfortunately was in the minority but history will prove to me I voted correctly. This man will be shown to be the worst President in History.....even worse than Nixon!

Laura Bush has a Master's Degree in Library Science form The University of Texas @ Austin. She was a schoold teacher, not a dummy. Thanks for playing uninformed idealogue lovers of Obama. Maybe you should read a book or two before commenting on issues you know absolutely nothing about! !!!!!!!

"“As a rare witness to the private moments of one of our country’s most consequential presidencies..."

Since one of the definitions of consequential is "Pompus, Self-important", I would agree with this calling bush one of our country's most sonsequential president.

Laura Bush should write a book about her husband.

She could call it: "It Takes A Village Idiot!"

TCM you are an idiot and you know it. Get over it your president and my president is a black man and if you don't like it too bad the only thing you can do is move and come back in 8 years to a better America. If Bush had 1/8 the amount of intelligence as President-elect Obama we would not be in half of the mess we are in

**YAWN***

Dear diary, today in a speech my husband made me ashamed of him again.

This woman is the worst first lady ever. No do nothing, just like her husband.

All of you are illiterate morons.

Nick from NH January 5th, 2009 11:37 pm ET
1.20.09 is not the end of an error, you kool-aid drinkers, it's the beginning. Palin 2012
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'd have as much luck finding anything intelligent in Palin's policies as trolling through Victoria's Secret catalogs hoping to find a picture of her.

Nick, she just spent $150,000.00 at the store, she's not in the catalog!

You ‘Country First’ redneck pervert!

TCM,

Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution states that "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States."

So in fact Obama is qualified along with the vast majority of the working population. Everything else you are spouting off about would only contribute to how good or how bad a president Obama, or anyone else for that matter, would be. And just because some has lead other soldiers in the field of battle does not mean they are a good leader. I think the soldiers under the command of General Custer at his last stand would argue against you on that point.

And frankly I never want to see a Walmart greeter as president, no offense to Walmart greeters.

@Jeff B.He lost support for the war when we found out there werent any wmds and the intelligence was fabricated.he DIDNT catch Bin Laden.Keep drinking your coolaid kid.

GOOGLE "BERRY SEAL" AND SEE HOW THE BUSHES PARTICULARLY GEORGE SENIOR AND HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE TRADE FOR WEAPONS FOR COCAIN FROM COLUMBIA! BTW HERES A GOOD TITLE FOR HER BOOK"FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY"

Who cares what this woman says? Even contemplating marrying an idiot like Bush, shows what a moron she was and is. She should have set him loose years ago. But then again, it's nice having money.

She could not possibly say anything of interest. She wasn't even an active First Lady. What a waste.

"The complete idiot's guide to being president"

I have a lot of respect for Laura Bush she is elegant and poised. I wish her the best in her future endeavours.

Title? My Pet Goat!

TCM: so what if blacks voted for Obama because he is black? who cares? it's not like blacks have had a choice to vote for a minority in the past..if that was their sole reason for voting for him WHO CARES?that is their business and you have no right to criticize them for it...grow up...

Geesh..the election was a MONTH AGO...move on....or move out of the country!!!

Just go rent "The Stepford Wives", cheaper and will give you a greater insight. After sitting for 7 years and 8 months, she is trying to create a legacy in the last 4 months of her husband's misadministration.

Laura I hope that you put in your book on how hard it has been for you to lay next to a man who has caused the deaths of thousands of MEN/WOMAN/Children? If this didn't bother you at all then your not TRUELY a MOTHER..You will be just like Barbara Bush a EVIL MONSTER ofter her remarks about the victims of Hurricane Katrina when it hit NO.

"IT's amazing how you libs are just so spiteful; to the point you've elected a total ZERO when it comes to competence…see the way he's dancing around issues already? Heck, Laura Bush if far more qualified to be president than your nappyheaded rookie."

Carefully considering an issue to ensure the position taken is the right one is not "dancing" around an issue. I realize it's a change from playing cowboy, picking something without any thought based on emotion and "gut reaction", and obsessively holding that position in the face of all reason and evidence. While it's different for you to see a thoughtful President, it's not a bad thing.

If Coulter can sell books.. anyone can.

Everyone gets a book deal!
I don't mind Laura Bush, but whatever she has to write is about as relevant to me as what Joe the Plumber's book will be about.

To TCM:
Why don't you lead the rest of your Retardlican friends to the nearest window and go lick it. If you are ignorant enough to vote for another Retardlican after the last eight years of destruction to this country then you are not qualified to lead anything.

WOW TCM....can you say "I am a racist" any louder!

How sad and shameful that so many Americans are so disrespectful full of hatred.

Isn't it bad enough to have lived with GW through this disaster, to again go throughit a second time in your book.GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Mrs. Bush is certainly smarter than her husband. Hold all of the details of her life close to the vest, and then after the publishing bidding war, see who will pay her millions of dollars for information and details that for 8 years were too private and personal to divulge. This is one memoir headed straight for the 50% off bin.

Laura has to strike while the iron is hot. At this point she can say whatever delusional things she wants about her husbands presidency with the caveat that "history will judge that the adminsitration did the right things. Over time we'll begin to see the postive results of strong leadership and true consensus governing from the Obama administration. History will harshly judge the Bush Adminsitration for its missed opportunities. Anything Laura, Cheney, Rumsfield, or Rice will have written will be absurd and irrelevant. Their books will sit in the 70% off bargin bin in the fiction section.

Ooooh sounds like a real page turner. Here's a title for ya: "First Lady / Worst President"

So much for the country coming together....Bush will be gone in two weeks...and now you are picking on his wife...grow up people! What about Hillary's pig of a cheating husband...does anyone ever ask her why the heck she married a low life like him?...oh yea, her political agenda....how quickly we forget. All you Bush Bashers will give it time before you start attacking your "saviour" Barak and his family....do you think anyone cares what Michelle has to say?....I sure don't! Laura Bush is a teacher and librarian....she has done more for children ... and is a good person, and is allowed to have a point of view before being attacked.

I see Bob from Pittsburgh still thinks Bush STOLE the election from Gore. Come on Dems, get over it. The funniest things are that #1 he couldn't even carry his own home state and #2 he went on and on about how "every vote should be counted" in the Florida elections but his campaign refused to allow the overseas military ballots to be counted. Funny, don't their votes count? Aren't they part of everybody? Wanna know why he didn't want them counted? Because about 95% of them were Bush votes. So don't cry about stolen unfair elections. Get over yourselves. You have the change you wanted, now let us hop it is the change we need. I still worry that sometimes voting for change for the sake of change is stupid. Hitler was a change in Germany and we know how that went. AND DON'T SO I AM CALLING OBAMA HITLER. I didn't, I said it was simply change. **the media would love that comment coming from a Republican on the hill huh**

I'd like to know how she can stand to spend five minutes with her husband.

Jesus, does she have enough make up on in this photo?

Bless her heart. I bet she has spent the last 8 years wishing she had married that nice boy what sat behind her in American Lit.

"Liars from the Bush White House, Volume 72"

I have been a Bush supporter since the beginning. I think he's a great man. I think he's been unfairly blamed for too much. Two examples:

Iraq? – Obama is one of the few who can claim he was against it. As a nation, we were pretty close to unified in our support at the beginning. It's when the going got tough that people started backing off their support. With conditions there improving, we may have a long-term, democratic ally in the Middle East. And ridded the world of a ruthless dictator, to boot.

Katrina? – I'm paraphrasing NOLA Mayor Ray Nagin, but in 2004 he said something like; "If we have a big storm, it's going to be a few uncomfortable days in the Superdome before we can get you out, so you better evacuate." I doubt if Al Gore had been president, anything would have been different.

Plame-gate? – She wasn't even covert! And it was Richard Armitage that "leaked" her name to Bob Novak.

My problem with Bush is he abandoned conservative fiscal policies in the name of bi-partisanship. Look where it got him: Nowhere. And now the annual budget deficit is back to record levels. But all this other votriol is undeserved.

There has been enough of both of these bush's to last a lifetime. She just smiles and supports her idiot husband, she is in as much denial of his utter failure(s) as he is! She has absolutely nothing to say that would be of interest, she is boring, boring, boring!

What a mess the [R] party would be in if this lady dares to speak the whole truth. The disaster-in-charge has already given his mother an ulcer, just imagine the broilings going on inside Laura's stomach.....she might significantly increase her lifespan if she were to get it all off her shoulders.

No corruption needed to get her a job...

Title: Why I married a Idiot.

Closed minded fools...what awful comments for a First Lady, that's right, she's the First Lady, show some respect, no matter your politics!

Shame on you people!

Will this book have pictures and diagrams so George can follow along. I know he was having a hard time when he was reading to those school children on 9/11

yep we got the Mean Mechine Democrats and the media doing there best job yet and that is the Hate & lieing progrem, they will continue to destroy this family, Well pay day is comming because the Democrats are going to get caught in there lies & decpetions, if you think you can hide your secrests, watch out that God dont start revealing yours to the world too. no man is an island unto himself, The Democrats belive in there own lies, they think there better then the rest of the people of the united states, well I say this God is Watching and Listening to every word, and Deed that is being done, the one hundred eleventh congress will be watched by the judge of all judges.

He's right you know.
If Coleman had won we probably would have cried foul.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzz

Seriously Mrs Bush, no disrespect, but please give us a break........

This talk of 'intimate' details is laughable, it's only a ploy to get people to purchase the book. Don't be fooled folks. If you really want to read it, wait till it ends up on line, or in your local library.

let me guess she will say how her husband "agonized" over his decisions to invade a country based on what he should ahve known were lies. The she will say how het "hurt" over the peoples loss during Katrina because of his incompentency She will then go on to say that he "prayed" everynight for guidence and that he was hurt when people questioned his integrity since he has always been a man of integrity and tried to do his best for the United States. That he was "pained" when he decided he ahd to violate the Constitution and disregard Congress when he ordered illegal wire taps on American citizens, held US citizens without charges or a trial (until forced by public outcry) tortured innocent Canadian citizens, tortured innocent Afgan citizens, sent POWs to places he knew they would be tortured when he could no longer torture them at American facilities... yes I can see her book now.. telling us how he is a hero for keeping America safe from non-existant attacks and for driving a wedge between christian (?) and muslims so that a FAMILY of American citizens (born and raised in the US) can get kicked off aplane because they are discussing airplane safety(google airtran and muslims for a real treat), or an american citizen can be imprisioned for wearing a T-Shirt (luckily the courts over ruled this and awarded him $240,000.. should have been more) yep i can see her book now praising her husband for destroying America and the rule of law...

idiots

It will be about how she kept the shrub agile, alert and able to duck the flying shoe so effectively, because she has been hurling empty Wild Turkey pints at him everytime he missed a step in his 12 step program over the years.

Get your facts right. Obama does NOT have nappy hair, so is therefore NOT nappyheaded! Leave Laura alone, whether you like it or not, she's writing a book, and SOMEBODY is going to read it! It's time American's came together to straighten out this mess we're in. Don't we have bigger issues to solve?

well well well.....i bet that is going to be one boring book. of course maybe she will write about the time she killed her best friend while drunk driving but i really doubt it

Didn't she just write a book with her daughter last year? Does she need the money or need to repair her husband's image?

Laura Bush is a sweet lady.......I'd like to know what attracted her to that jerk.......he couldn't have been a hunk....he was a cheerleader for heaven's sake !!!!!

Lisa B January 6th, 2009 9:53 am ET

Unless there is a chapter titled:

My husband, the man, the big dummy…

I won't be reading it…

&

Ghost January 6th, 2009 9:52 am ET

Title of the book…….

"I'm with Stupid"……
______________________________________________________

Ghost that is a wonderful title & Lisa B that is a wonderful title.

Maybe you two should send those suggestions to laura.

Will she mention the accident she caused that killed a man? Oh, sorry Republicans. You don't like to hear that, do you, when you bring up Ted Kennedy's driving habits.

Ouch!!!

EJ Best> Where have you been the last 8 years? This guy has the lowest populatarity rating ever for a president and there is a reason for that. Yet you still expect people to unquestioningly "respect" the position and pray for him? Good lord.

I didn't know she could even read much less write.

just because Pelosi and Reed just didnt have the guts to impeach doesnt mean the dirty deeds werent done.

I can only hope that the hate expressed in many of these comments is not what Americans really are today but only reflects the opinions of a few who hide behind their computers and condemn everything and everyone with whom they disagree. The memoirs of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton or Laura Bush should be taken as what they are... their personal experiences during a time in office. No one is forced to agree with their opinions or read what they write.

Laura Bush is a great woman despite the man she married. I think its great she is writing her memoirs.

Mike wrote:

"Democrats are hypocrites. I've said it before and I'll never stop saying it.
When Franken steals the election in Minnesota they cheer and say how "FAIR" it was. Had Coleman won they would have been crying foul."

Really?...!!!

Since when Repugblicans have the authority to talk about stolen elections?

I would like to read the book if she explains what it is like to love a man the rest of the world absolutely hates!

That would be a good read!

The day to day History we have all lived, no news there, other then a chance to tell her side of what went down.

@Cynthia in MI and Jack E. Jett:

What a couple of sexist, steaming piles you are.

Go Libs, usher in that era of bipartisanship, attack the spouse and children. Show America the true nature of the lefties.

I do believe that "Proud American" and "Texas Teacher" live in a Stupid Bubble and can't get out!

You Dems are pathetic.

Oh, and I'm sure these epic memoirs of a spoiled rich girl marrying into an idiot oil baron family with ties to Nazi Germany are just sure to be truthful in all matters.

Ah, another attempt by the Bush folk to rewrite history, and another example of the Bush Regime seemingly using '1984' as a manual...

'Whoever controls the past, controls the future;
and whoever controls the present, controls the past.'

"...I guess they just don’t want to learn about his point of view.”

Would that be the POV that brushed off reports from numerous nations that Al Qaeda was determined to use hijacked aircraft as weapons? Or the POV that crippled The Constitution? Or the POV that said "we don't torture" while torturing people? Or the POV that said The Geneva Conventions are optional? Or the POV that said Iraq had WMD? or the POV that took money from the BinLaden corporation to fund their political campaign and oil company start-up? Or the POV that still hasn't caught Bin Laden? Or the POV that let 9/11 happen?

good luck with your book, laura.

Wow,

and i thought Americans were nice deep down.

( and this is AFTER the elections)

Bush didn't get thrown under the bus. He left the bus on neutral and got hit by it himself when he got out. Yes, Bush was at a disadvantage because of the events that happened, but it's the way he handled it is why people don't like him. I'm sure he would've been an awesome drinking buddy, but where did that get us? Btw, the book should be titled "I'm with Stupid". I'm ashamed to have served under Bush. There is such a thing as serving your country and President, but that is no excuse for being ignorant of that President's incompetence. Otherwise, I guess we could use the same excuses the Germans used about "just following orders". I swear people can be so dumb, and ignorant.

Get over yourselves. Mike, you have got to be kidding me. Why would anyone support Bush and his whacked out schemes? The dems in congress supported Bush on the war in Iraq, so to say he received no support from the other side of the aisle is incorrect. But no one can do much to defend Bush's legacy. Most of his ideas weren't even supported by his own party members. They have turned on him worse than many democrats have in the past few months. Face it, no matter how much you wanna cheerlead, the man was not a good president. That fact that it is a very tough job should probably mean you should elect someone who can actually handle it, not someone you have ot make excuses for.

you people bashing president bush and laura are disgusting. you hate for hates sake. there is not one ounce of integrity in you. you should fall on your knees everyday and thank GOD for a man like george bush who kept us safe from your buddies the islamic terrorist who you love and the terrorist hate america almost as much as you.

It will be a BORING MEMOIR because she won't tell the truth about her husband and the administration and though I like Laura Bush, she is not the most exciting person I would waste my time reading about.

Nobody cares what this dingbat has to say. The only American dumber than her is her imbicile husband. Good riddance to these colossal morons, let's finally close this chapter on American politics at its absolute worst.

Who would pay 1 cent to read anything Laura Bush writes? Her husband's last 8 years' events are already chiseled in stone and I cannot imagine anything that Laura has to say would hold my interest for more than 5 minutes. Contrary to the publisher's comments, she is not 'immensely popular'.

Good lord. I guess George didn't earn quite enough off our backs, huh?

please take you man and go to texas deep in texas so that we can rty and forget his 8 year night mare, we want to foget the bush name. wh cares what she has to say

Her book will be just so much of nothing. If you want to read something,read about "w"s two other brothers- marvin and neil !!! forget about jeb, google up "marvin pierce bush" and "neil bush".....truly,truly,....no more bush's

Save your breath, Laura, nobody cares what you say or what you write about.

Texas Teacher,

She loves her husband and was not happy when shoes were thrown at him. That shows pure dedication. Something you libs are not accustomed with.

@ EJ Best, who said

"No where but America could the people get by with bashing our leaders like this."

Exactly. That was the whole point in 1776. I'm NOT checking my freedoms at the door in favor of political accord. How about you?

Another politician or semi-politician bellying up to the trough with a memoir. Nothing to see here, folks, just another Clinton/Greenspan/insert-random-memoir-writing-politician-here making a few bucks off the fame on the way out the door.

The memoir should include the attribution of the recent Palestinian blood flow to her husband.

Bush was not the best president but he did do some good like the No Child Left Behind program. Good luck with your book! I will be sure to purchase one.

laura bush may appear to be soft-spoken and demure, but I suspect she is equally dispicable as her husband. Unlike him, her role would not lead to a war crimes conviction in the Hague. To me, she is an Eva Braun type character, enabling her husband to 'feel normal' as he sheds blood from texas prisions to Iraq. Good riddance!

Nobody's going to read it, much less buy it. What a shame, huh Laura? Like you'd ever tell the truth about the crimes this Administration has done. People just want all your Bushes to go away, or be thrown in prison. Your husband is an idiot and your nothing more than a robot. No wonder you're a prescription drug addict.

@ Nick from NH

Palin 2012 eh? She's borderline illiterate (i.e., no, she doesn't "read them all"). So what would her book be? "Mrs. Moron Goes to Washington"?

TO SB :
That's what you liberal retards always say; everytime something isn't handed to minorities, but questioned, it's racist....Why don't you talk to Rev Wright and Michelle Obama about racism....face it, had Obama been ALL WHITE he'd have never been supported by the onslaught of unknowing blacks who voted merely because he's black...STOP and ask 10 blacks on the street, to cite any of Obama's policies...they may be able to mutter through 1 or 2, but the majority, probably 98% voted for him because he's black....that's RACISM.....get your definition straight before you question my crediablity...

PROUD American(??) – I'm just as qualified, no wait, I'm more qualified...I've actually lead people in the military and civilian world...and I've also accomplished things in my life...I've actually voted for something instead of "present,' and I don't have criminals for friends...So myself, along with 10's of millions of Americans, are more qualified...to lead...in fact, Wal-mart greeters have had to make bigger decisions than your boy. It just goes to show how much you and other ignorant libs bought into the con game.

so, as many times as you've been advised....in a year or so, you'll be having to "Get over," the feelings of betrayal...he's no messiah, he's a chameleon puppet, changing color to suit the need...all the while being controlled by the fools in congress....and now, his own cabinet is seeing it...wait til he has to deal with the hardnosed radical muslims...they already know he's a waffle....WOW...you made a good choice...HOPE you're PROUD....

W was not a good man. A good man would use the power of the office to help people not start wars and pay billions to large companies to steal our natural resoruce, as for the book, I say that we just let Bush fade away as a bad memory

@ My Friends let me tell you....... Bush IS not a 'good man'..... a good man does not sanction ........TORTURE.

A good man does not .......LIE in order to attack a sovereign country, Iraq!

A good man does not allow the Constitution of the United States to be trashed so his government can spy on its own citizens!

No...... "my friends...." Bush IS NOT a good man!

If the Republicans can make Ronald Reagan seem like a great president in retrospect, they can surely make W. Bush seem as good as Truman. Those people do not read history, they just make it up.

Laura Bush is the only person in this Administration whom Americans respect. She and Rice have been tapped, apparently, to rehabilitate this president's reputation.

I for one will skip the book.

Another book that we shall see at the flea markets in a dump bin for free or 25 cents. Oh wait maybe after publishing the book the publisher will ask the federal government for a bailout??????????????? What a waste of paper Jim Hall Kansas City Missouri.

Yawn- if her book is as "exciting" as her personality, it should be a real snooze.

I am a Democrat and disgusted with Bush & the Republicans for BANKRUPTING our Nation!

However, Laura Bush is a kind and gracious woman. She is free to write her memoir and I am .......free not to read it.

HOPE WON...........HOPE WON.........HOPE WON...........HOPE WON!

Unless there is a chapter titled:

My husband, the man, the big dummy...

I won't be reading it...

Title of the book.......

"I'm with Stupid"......

If you can't say something nice...

Why would you not want to read her memoirs? It doesn't matter your political affiliation. Who wouldn't want to read Hillary's?
These are interesting books, if told with honesty.

Those who bash this are simply adding to the partisan political atmosphere that they themselves claim to loathe.

Democrats are hypocrites. I've said it before and I'll never stop saying it.
When Franken steals the election in Minnesota they cheer and say how "FAIR" it was. Had Coleman won they would have been crying foul.
Dems, look in the mirror next time you want to know why their is so much animosity in Washington, why there is no "working together" atmosphere there, why one side absolutely hates the other. You are part of the problem and definitely not even close to being part of the cure.
You now have YOUR president and you expect us to support him and work with him? Give me a break.
As a lifelon Republican I will most certainly wish Obama and his team well because I don't have a choice. My future depends on his success. Unfortunately the same support wasn't provided to Bush the last eight years. He was thrown under the bus before he even took the oath of office by the extreme left partisan liberal base.
Shame on you for your hypocrisy.

I can't believe the comments I've read here! Just wait a few days and you people will turn on Obama, too. Do any of you think you could do the job of President? Times are tough, but just listen at yourselves.
This is the highest office in the land and regardless of your limited intelligence, & regardless of who holds the office, you should respect the office & pray for the President. No where but America could the people get by with bashing our leaders like this.

Crook ... Criminal ... I presume the people writing this have information on the trials and convictions of Bush, Cheney, Rove, etc that the rest of us do not have. Can you please inform us of the details? Or at least about the indictments, surely there must be grand jury indictments? Lacking these, since you apparently have all the evidence needed for indictments and trials sure to produce multiple convictions, please contact Pelosi and Reid. I'm sure they will even let you conduct the prosecution with all the indusputable evidence you have in hand.

Will there be recipes? At least that would be useful.

These comments are proof positive that we will never come together as Americans again.

no thanks

Laura is popular? According to whom?

DO NOT WANT

I can't wait to read the book.

While I have no desire to read Laura Bush's memoirs, I don't see any reason to insult her.

President Bush didnt care about anyone but his fathers goals. He made sure that he finished what his dad couldnt.

Two more weeks to the end of an error; the most tragic in our nation's history. I will have no interest in Laura's revisionism.

Finally the Bush family can have it's own bible: "Presidenting for Dummies." Good riddance to the generations of failures that is the Bush family. Thanks for the $300 billion debt George Sr., and for the $10 trillion debt, illegal war and economic crisis, Junior. Your criminal ilk will not be missed.

AS THE GOVERNMENT TURNS?

BUSH & THE GOOF TROOP?

@ Nick from NH

Sarah palin is trailer trash.

I'm sure she is going to let us all know how wonderful a man George Bush is, how he was mistreated by the democrats, and how he will go down in history as a great president. I'm sure it will be located in the FICTION section of libraries and bookstores.

See George lie.
Lie, George, lie.
See Laura....
Who's Laura?
Mrs. George, that's who!
Spurious George?
Yes, that's who.
The first chapter in "My Little Golden Book, At the Big White House"
and a fine addition to the George W. Bush 'Little Golden Book Presidential Library.'

@Proud American. There is probably no one in the country with less of a right to call someone a hypocrite than you. Every day in every blog you spew the same 'I hate Republicans' crap. We get it, you're a hater, change the record already or put a sock in it.

Hey Portlander, you can't spell either. It is memoir not memorie–use a dictionary from your library, please.

The only reason this moron's approval rating are as high as they are is that she didn’t do anything so how could she be criticized? I mean really, Laura Bush has to be one of the most do-nothing First Ladies in history. Having her and her hillbilly accent and her loathsome husband out of the White House will be a relief. With any luck we never see or hear from them again!

This will probably be the first book of the George W. Bush Presidential Library that doesn't involve coloring or connect-the-dots.

Laura Bush has been a fine First Lady. The title "Lady" is well-deserved in her case. Not all presidents' wives have been so elegant and decent (some I can name in recent years). Laura Bush has no spot or blemish on her record; she is a fine Christian woman, and she seems to strive for that excellence.

Someone out there please explain to me what "war crimes" Mr. Bush committed! If you are talking about his going into Iraq to save those people from a horrible dictator similar to Hitler, then yes, he did commit war crimes. If you are talking about the treatment of the detainees in Gitmo, then no he didn't commit war crimes. My thoughts on those lovely "detainees" is that they should have been tried and hung long ago–those with specific terrorist ties anyway. Does anyone think that our men and women who were POWs in any wars were not mistreated, tortured, beaten, and starved. And with NO regard to whether or not they had any civil rights. Give me a break–those people in Gitmo have been treated better than they would have survived in Iraq. Get off Bush's case and move on to what sort of crimes are being committed now BEFORE the new administration is sworn in. There's some news!

"TCM" – Is it attention your trying to get from that racist remark? Were you neglected when you were a child? Were you a sore loser throughout your life? I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for ALL Pathetic haters in this country. Let me tell you about a super Airline deal. AA has a one day, once in a lifetime bargain for one-way plane tickets to CANADA. They are 95% off which gives you a total of only $27.95. As an extra bonus, you can add as many people (haters) as you want and the price keeps going down. So, with all the haters on this blog, your one-way trip could end up being FREE
GOODBYE.

I think that First Lady Laura Bush would have made a better President than President W. Bush. George W. are you packing , yet ? Texas can't wait to get you back.., let alone the nation or the world. And yes, I would buy the book. At least First Lady Laura Bush is honest and 'not' afraid to tell the truth. Mike in Montana

I've also liked Laura and Jenna despite what their husband/father have done.

As for Bush, history will be the judge, not today's headlines. People forget that Lincoln and Truman were considered terrible presidents while they were in office. I don't think Bush was a good president, but I understand that if certain things play out then history will look at Bush favorably.

I also think that once everyone realizes that Obama can't wave a magic wand and fix everything then people will think, hey maybe it wasn't all Bush after all. It is not a coincidence in my opinion that everything has fallen apart once the democratic congress was elected in 2006. Again, I'm not saying Bush was a good president. Just that it wasn't all him. The whole government, including the democratic congress, is inept right now. And don't get me started on the bailouts.

Unles she is going to spill the beans on Georgee boy and Condi I am not really interested ..

I'm really not interested in the book. Her husband has done enormous damage to the country all in the name of his oversized ego., however I do have a great deal of respect for Laura Bush as she has conducted herself with dignity and as a respectable lady.

Memoir? About living with Bush, else what has she contributed that would make anyone want to read a book about her? Give me a break. Money hunger is all this is.

Think about it. Has there been any other president who has been through as much turmoil as GWB? Between 9/11, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike....etc. Yes, he did invade Iraq BUT he had people whose jobs were to advise him on Iraq. They all felt they were doing the right thing and there were WMD's there. Plus, democrats voted for the war. Now, GWB is all to blame. Obama, I really do have a lot of respect for you. Don't know too many people who would want your job right now but someone has to do it. Plus please understand it is NOT ALL George Bush's fault.

I'll wait for the TV movie with Sharon Stone playing Laura Bush.

She has to make the money now, who wants to pay W to come and make a speech to them? While the rest of America is suffering the Bushes buy another house will never have to pay for anything and now the book deals come worth millions, boycott the book.

Time for that reminder folks. Read the posts for this article. Think about what they're saying, from both ends of the political spectrum. And you wonder why the world's citizens have NO respect for the people in the United States of America? It's because we have NO respect for ourselves.

So she gets a book deal detailing her worthlessness while Georgie ruined the world, go figure. It'll give the elderly something to read in the Social Security office after their claims are denied!!!

I don't think there is a whole lot of interest with what Laura Bush has to say. Even the CNN poll on the subject has about a 79% rating for no interest in Laura Bush's writings.

Sorry, she's tied to Dubya and a further indicator for her negative viewing.

To: Kingsley Obanor Good can never preoduce as much bad as President Bush did...from tourture to negligence and so many others....Rethink friend Bush is not only a bad president he wasnt any good too. Remember how he defeated McCain?
Pls If there is any list ofgood men out there Bush can never make the 1st 5 billion

I'm sure there's enough Neo-cons out there that could use a good read, LOL!!!LOL!!!LOL!!!

Please CNN you must have someting more important to print than this story.

She can donate the proceeds to the families of the 4,000 soldiers and 100,000 civilians that died for nothing in Iraq thanks to her husband.

If you see what people write in these "comment sections" I believe it is absolutely the most comical perception of what main stream American medial influences use too formulate perceptions about politicians that we only elect but not personally know to judge ones character. If everyone is hear to criticize lets see that "outspoken garbage" be put to your own personal account and presidential bid to become the next President of the United States. I am neither a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, but some US citizens don't know their State Governor or even know where Iraq is on a map, can you really be so harsh in judging? Honestly?

no one cares, nothing will change and if you idiots elect palin in 2012 you guys will have to apply for visa and brain scans to travel to europe!

I wonder if Mrs. Bush is going to be completely honest in writing about her life and marriage. I think if she really puts it all out on the table, her book will be a hit. Also, I must say that after reading previous comments to other stories on this ticker I am appalled by the blatant racism. If CNN is going to allow people to post comments to stories, then the moderation process needs to be revamped. People shouldn't be allowed to spew their hatred and bigotry on this website.

I can't think of anything more boring than Laura Bush and anything she could possibly say. She and her criminal husband should just disappear and let us recover from the disaster they left us in.

The only thing I want to read is Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld being sentenced to life in prison for all the crimes they committed while in office and for all the innocent soldiers and Iraqi citizens they killed for a lie.

Improvement is on the way and not too soon. Laura, give it up for crying out loud. Haven't you got the message yet? Your own party didn't even like him. This idiot was a total disaster.

I think it's funny how a lot of you are claiming that you wouldn't read her memoir if it was the last thing on this Earth. Yet, this article seems to have caught your attention, and it was only mentioning her memoir!! You Bush-Haters are just morons!! LMFAO

Go get a life, you idiots.

NICK FROM NH= Are you saying palin is smarter than michelle obama. hmmmmmmmm ,let me think. harvard grad with honors( FIRST LADY MRS OBAMA), or SARAH FALIN who took 5yrs to get a four year degree from "IDAHO" a school my daughter turned down. I'll have to get back to you on that one . you betcha. wink.LOL

One cannot be proud of America and trash the sitting President of the United States.

Look folks, I am a Democrat, but there are several things Bush has done.

Even the Great O admires the work he did in Africa.
No attacks have occurred on US soil since 9/11
As bad as the economy got (which BUSH will get the blame for), in case no one has noticed, the markets have stabilized...which is due to Bush, and not the Great O. (He should get credit for successes as well as failures)

The war in Iraq...plain and simple...had he sent enough troops in at the beginning, the war would have been over. However, Bush has already negotiated the troop withdrawals, so the Great O does not have to do a darn thing, other than "look cool."

I could not get through the first page much less a whole book. Who on earth would buy that book? I almost feel sorry for her, but she could have left George a long time ago.

Could any of you lead our country? Could any of you stand to be married to the leader of anything where your marriage is second to the issues at hand? Until you've walked a mile, give it up. Even the most effective leader in our country is dependant upon support of the legislative branch. Does anyone even bother to understand how government works?

Laura, spare us the intimate details please.

I WONDER IF THE STEPFORD WIFE HAS

A THING TO SAY ABOUT CONDY RICE ?

TCM is only seeking attention.

Intimate detail #347b: George's spoo tastes like crankcase oil.

her & her hubby should be kicked out of the country for good.

So sad. No one would believe Dubya now if he said the sun was shining so he has to hide behind the skirts of his wife and Rice.

The title should be "I Thought I Was a Old Spinster at 30, So I Married the Town Drunk Who Grew Up to Be a War Criminal"

Laura likes to talk about how she's a "Republican by marriage only" but she's gone right along with all her husband's vile dealings.

She's pathetic and her book will hit the remainder bin faster than you can say "Botox."

I bet this will be a fascinating read.
Can't wait till it comes out.

So, its his wife thats gonna be on the record.....

how......Texan (?)

Whatever is the same as Mr. Bush. I'm not going to put any panny in her book. How you spell STUPIDITY PRESIDENT.

THE FIRST LADY WHO CAME IN & DID NOTHING & LEFT.

THERE IS THE WHOLE BOOK. WOMAN IS A DOORMAT.

Kinglsey, are you kidding? Bush a good man? He's as big a crook as the rest of his gang. Like Harry Truman said, that's where the buck stops. Too bad it didn't stop before this book deal...

Any woman that would stay married to and support such a monster
has lost my respect.

She should be ashamed of herself.

I'm not interested in the details with Laura and Dubya..

The ones that count are between Dubya and his "turdblossom", Karl Rove.

Please don't write your book, Laura. The bargain bins need space for Ann Coulter's buttwipe-unworthy screeds

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country... What are you doing for your country!!! What are we all doing what will it take to make this nation a leader again to save this worl. Stop your bickering!!! Stop!!!

Hope she reveals why she ran over and killed her ex-boyfriend so many years ago and all the nights she watched W drink and self medicate himself while having his personal conversations with God and then using the input to help him be the decider. The Bushes invented and pride themselves on their Stepford Wives. The positive side, if your a republican, there will be at least one book in W's library.

'Alias-proudest amerikan', you are a ignorant putz.

Oil prices went up because regulations on oil traders was lifted, also known as the "Enron Loophole". You have George Bush and Phil 'Nation of Whiners' Graham to thank for that looting of the economy.

By the way CNN, where's your article on how Sarah Palin prevented Alaska Drug Enforcement officers from arresting her daughter's boyfriend's mom for drug dealing? Sara Palin's campaign was more important than getting a drug dealer off the street. Sarah allowed a drug dealer to sell drugs to kids rather than risk her, Sarah, vice-presidential ambitions. C'mon CNN shows some gonads and print the story.

And back to you 'Alias, you putz. Quit being such an ignoratnt boot-licking tool for the Republican Facist party. Read up on how billions of dollars were siphoned off by Bush, Cheney, and their greedy cronies.

That's what Laura should write about.

The CNN readership is lame – comprised primarily of demos who spout off unintelligent diatribe.

Indeed, any first lady (and that she is) has something meaningful to say and contribute irrespective of ones political beliefs.

Right Wolfe?

i cannot imagine what she would consider good about his two terms in office. he was a stooge for dick cheney. that was his accomnplishments.
he has ruined our economy,our country and about 20-25000 military lives,
leaving them with maimed bodies,no limbs,etc. as a result of having
served in iraq. many will never have a career. but,they have families,children. they are losing their homes. creditors don't care
they are american heroes. not to mention the over 4,000 killed in action.
this was a result of a personal vendetta of sadam huessain. bush said
he threatened his daddy.
i really don't understand how laura can look him in the face or eyes. she
must share the same feelings as he. instead of a memoir,she should write a memoriam. sorry!

Ewwwwww

An incredibly dignified woman from a great family (both sides.)

... and just for the record: George W. Bush is NOT a good man!!

History will prove me right...

Don't sell out Laura. You're the only thing respectable about this guy's decision-making.

Can't wait to see the title....

"I'm With Stupid!" by Laura Bush

"The Idiot and I" by Laura Bush

"Just Because I'm Married to Him Doesn't Mean I Voted For Him!" by Laura Bush

"Faking It At The Crawford Ranch" by Laura Bush

"I Was First Lady and All I Got Was This T-Shirt" by Laura Bush

"How To Be Respected Even If Your Husband Isn't!" by Laura Bush

All bestsellers....

Hopefully, this will include the total incompetence of your husband while in office. How can you stand beside him? Thousands of our own people have perished worldwide and we are struggling in our own economy. I am sure this will be your dinner table talk in your wealthy retirement! You should be ashamed, the worst president ever

Andrew – Most people here are not trashing Laura Bush, just disgusted that she is going to try to lend some credence to her husband's failed presidency. The fact is that most people will not only not buy her book but will be offended at being reminded of the Bush years when they see it in their local bookshops.

The govonor of Texas Perry has declared Jan 20th a holiday. It's Village Idiot coming home day.

I wish the president has listened to his wife more than Rush Limbaugh

Way to go, Patrick!!. thse other nitwits would not reconize quality if they were hit on the head with it.

George W. Bush's Presidency was definitely one of the most influential ones in recent memory. The terrorist attacks os September 11 and the subsequent War on Terror, the War in Iraq, and Hurricane Katrina all occurred during Bush's Presidency. I think it would be interesting to hear Laura Bush's account of these events and their toll on President Bush. It will be interesting to see (if anything like that is revealed) what types of psychological pressure were put on Bush as his Presidency continued. I look forward to reading this.

Oh, and I say this every time. I am stunned by the utter lack of respect from 80% of these comments. It is shocking to see the current President and First Lady bashed so much. It's disrespectful and annoying. He is the President of the United States of America. That title commands (and deserves) respect.

What a beautiful and elegant First Lady. Thank you for always being proud of being an American. Thank you for all the good things you have done without demanding people know it was you that did it. We will miss you and President Bush. Please keep us in your prayers as you well know we will need it.

Please...would you all just go away for good!

First Lady Laura Bush is just that, a First Lady. She has shown such respect for everyone she meets, her demenor is Elegance Personified. SHe will leave a lasting influence and impresion in the Anals of the history of the White House. She is up there with Eleanor Roosevelt, Nancy Regan, Mamie Eisenhower who made her Ike her career. I respect all the first ladies because not either's job is or has been easy. Thank God for all the support thye have given us through gheir husbands, our presidents.

According to Laura's law suit Bush Sr. told her George W. was just a little slow. Turns out according to her he's a complete Idiot. Bush Sr. should have disclosed all the facts.

Thank you Mrs. Bush. You did a terrific job.

please have georges speech writers contribute. it should contain some good laughs as well as touching tears

And we care what she thinks, why??? Abigail Adams she is not!

Vacant, hollow and ultimately shallow, the original cheerleader for the 'Charge of the light brigade'. Good nite Laura..

It will be entitled, "Sleeping with the Enemy."

Bush Sr. paid her to marry his little Idiot. Well not only is she giving the money back, she going to sue.

Memories of a Stepford wife?

Hey Portlander -

If you're going to bash a guy for misspelling something – maybe you ought to check for typos first you moron!

The last time I checked "grammarically" & "memoire" were not accurate spellings...

Nice example of the shining brilliance of the democratic donkeys!

George was the greatest president of all time. So I expect it to be the greatest book of all time.

This woman is a saint. Look at what she's had to endure these last years so please give her a break. The flaws in her mate and his leadership are her burdens first hand.

View the ruff, from the Bush.

"If you want to test the character of a person – give them power"

Abe Lincoln

We are seeing the character of the supporters of Obama now...

We shall wait and see what his administration does once it takes the reins...

Maybe she'll really tell the truth. Then again, probably not. We'll never know how she managed to run a stop sign and kill a fellow student driving another car without even getting a ticket, while a black person doing the same in Midland-Odessa would have gotten manslaughter charges, at least, for doing the same thing. This woman has been in denial since long before she ever met W.

Should be a quick read.

Please do not let this "first lady" profit on the malfeasance of her husband the so called President. Her popularity is not based on her attributes but rather on the worse of two evils, evil being the key word. When compared to her inept husband, she is the better of the two. That is not to say she is profound or legendary but tolerable.
If she is to profit from her eight years of supporting hypocrisy, ineptness and yes criminal intent, then we are all culpable in their activities. Please don't let 4000 lost in Iraq be in vein and ultimately profit for the “Bush team.” Of course there are those who say Laura Bush “stood” by her man. Is that what we say about the women who stood by Adolf Hitler, Benedict Arnold or John Wilkes Boot? Should they be compensated for their memoirs? I don’t think so and I hope if Laura Bush publishes a memoir, it will be the best seller in any 99 cent store throughout this country.

Can't wait. How many pages will it be?

the hatred and vitriol that seems to pour out of so many with easy, particularly with the safety of anonymity is tragic. whether democrat, republican, or independent, it seems the majority of americans, or at the very least the majority of those commenting on here, can't have a constructive, mature dialogue or opinion, and God forbid disagree, without spewing acidic talking points aimed at "one-upping" the previous insult.

the hate from the left and the right tears at the fabric of our political and social culture; and most seem completely content to continue to scream at one another about how wrong "the other guy" or his wife is, whether it's bush or obama, or anyone else in political leadership. we can't stop to listen to each other, but for all screaming at one another like a load of fools, while the rest of the world shakes its head and laughs, because the right and left hands won't take the time to unite and determine how to work together, minus the childish playground hatred.

______________________________________________________

German Irish American, I thought I told you to go home yesterday.

Will it be titled how you too can rob America of wealth, and still come out on top? Or all the things I did and bought on your dime?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Title will be:

"How My Husband was Turned into a Dolt by Cheney"

eeeuuuuuwwww........

Laura Bush can write?

That should be a headline, especially after marrying George W. Bush.

Somehow I get the feeling that Laura Bush would not know an intimate detail if it bite her on her prodigious bum...

Shocking – Laura Bush bashing at CNN. What next, spots on Dalmations?

Keep in mind, Laura haters, that she was not elected to this position. If she were to speak her mind and publicly oppose her husband's choices, the same lot of you would whine that she has no business being involved with government issues. I hate her husband as much as the next person, but come on, people– you sound like a group of children crying about how you hate Susie just because her brother John pushed you down on the playground. Laura Bush hasn't done anything at all wrong, besides marry an idiot, but that's not really our place to judge, now is it? Grow up.

And Georgie wants to write a book too? Will it be 24 pages long and end with "...and they all lived happily ever after..."? Maybe Dickie can draw the pictures.

Some of the people's remarks on this Laura Bush commentary show how mean, hateful, and ignorant they are.

Get a life.

Like the Bushes *need* the money. How vain! How about NO book deal because we don't need to feed our Republican ego.

How out of touch is this women? Her husbands decision to go to war with Iraq has left hundreds of thousands dead, and her husband allowed torture to happen on his watch and now there are kids dying in the middle east while he sits around as a lame duck. No one cares about your intimate details you sociopath!

Thank you President Bush for freeing the Iraqi people, helping alleviate the suffering of those with HIV and AIDS, keeping this country free of more terrorist attacks since 9/11, selecting excellent justices and personally writing to every family who lost a loved one in the war against terror. God bless you and Laura for your steadfast service and brave patriotism in this age of wimpy politicians and constituents.

TCM = The fed's have a warrent out for your parents arrest, according the the warrent "Any who bring children into the world this stupid should go to prison" There having a difficult time with the DNA, all of your mother's brothers test possible for being your father. Looks like the family is going on the Maury show.

@

She has as much credibility as Ava Braun.She watched and did nothing as the crimes were commited.

George Bush might not have been a good president, but he was a good man.

Sounds like Scribner's management is as dumb as Laura's husband.

Intimate details ... spare me. Laura you need an upgrade on your meds. Can anyone imagine spending breakfast, lunch and dinner with shrub?

Just go a way pls...

I am not going to pay to read about Beasley and India's trails. Bush's life is no mystery. He wakes up at 5 am, makes decisions based on his gut feelings and goes to sleep at 9 pm. Laura fits in somewhere, somehow.

Andrew – if it was Bush's "oil war" why did gas prices go up when he was still in office. Oh yeah, you think he was hoarding oil in Texas. You Bush haters are pathetic; one even states Bush was "fired" and no doubt believes it!!!

Laura- you should go to jail with your hubby!

Laura- Ohhhhhhh was I there? My husband did it and I can't remember any bad things!

YEAH RIGHT!

What's she going to title it?

"Surving Bush" "Bushwacked" or "Strategery" ?

TCM – White house mover are having your trailer move to the south lawn of the White HOuse.. After a closer looks at Obama's qualifications and your it was clear you should be President of the U.S.

Best first lady ever..by far. Her work for the people of Afghanistan and Burma has been wonderful. Unfortunately most people trashing her don't know that those are countries.

Laura's regrets

With all due respect, save yourself the time and effort, Mrs. Bush. We've lived your husband's presidency - an unjustified and ineptly executed war, negligence over Katrina, economic collapse, disrespect for the law, the Constitution and civil liberties - and don't need to relive the painful memories in a book.

Just wait until people start bashing Mrs. Obama. The people bashing Mrs. Bush will squeal like a stuck hog. The Bush bashers can give it out, but can't take it.
what's the matter CNN didn't like my first post?

Some of these comments are pathetic. As if a book by Michelle Obama would serve any better purpose than firewood. 1.20.09 is not the end of an error, you kool-aid drinkers, it's the beginning.

Palin 2012

MEMOIRS OF A WAR CRIMINAL'S WIFE... cash that check fast because no one will buy your crappy book.

Maybe she can explain why Bush read "The Pet Goat" while hundreds died in our cities or what he did for 4 days while Americans begged for help in a major U.S. city while Bush did nothing.

I feel sorry for Laura being married to a bush, maybe she can get enough money to leave him.

It tells how she graciously stood by with the utmost elegance and e'lan, as her husband train-wrecked America.

I am so sick and tired of the constant bashing of this President. America, you only have another 2 weeks and CNN...what will you do? You won't have George W. Bush to kick around anymore. The direction of the country will all now FINALLY be on the Democrats. If they can't get it right I wonder if America will hold Obama and the DO NOTHING Pelosi and Reid accountable!

It is obvious to me that Reed and Pelosi did not want to work with Bush over these past few years and that some of the accountability for the terrible state the country is in should be on their shoulders as well. This was all part of their plan. Too bad Bush and his advisors did not call them out on it.

I believe this is to help fund the George W. Bush library, since no one will be purchasing his memoire. Well, except for the 27% of the people who thinks he did a "hell of a job" as President. Of course, those people have not only drunk the kool-aid, but spiked it with Texas whiskey so everything comes out roses.

Laura, I love your tireless attitude of support for your husband, but please spare us. Let him be the first President to not have a library, we can at least remember him for something note-worthy, since he can't even spell or speak grammarically correct; a library will not be fitting. Nor will you selling a memoire to defend him.

I have believed/thought for several years that Laura has been the only thing holding Her husband , George Bush, together. How do you summerize circumstances that constitute such a costly and non-discript Failure? Such a personal and yet "public" tragedy" ? Somehow, We all have to "go on";but,how? Do you answer that question,Laura?

I think we all should reserve our opinion of George W for the time being. History will judge him. Has anybody taken a poll of all the Wall Street crooks to see how many were Republican vs Democrat? We are a bunch of media manipulated fools. DR

To "TCM"-Unfortunately your comment stinks of profound racism so has lost all credibility.
As much as I deplored the inability of George W. to lead our country, I like Laura Bush-She has always exhibited such graciousness under the extreme circumstances!

Wait until people start picking on Mrs. Obama. The ones bad mouthing Mrs. Bush will start squealing like a stuck hog. They will be called every name under the sun. The bush bashers can give it out, but can't take it. Just wait.

TCM- You just couldn't resist tipping your hand with the "nappy" comment could you? Is Laura Bush more qualified than Obama because he was editor of the Harvard Law Review and she is Stepford wife to the "Solid C" Yale Legacy graduate – turned-worst president in history? Ohhhh yeah... its because you're a bigot. I hope she donates all of the money to the families of soldiers killed in her husband's oil war. But that's about as likely as Cheney donating all the proceeds from his Haliburton stock to the EPA.

Who is Laura Bush? I've never even hear of her.

TCM (The Complete Moron?)
Practice what you preach. You call another poster spiteful and then
proceed to spew that crap. Can you say hypocrite?
Oh,and by the way, Obama has more intelligence in his ltille finger than W and Laura combined

Laura Bush will no doubt go down in history as a First Lady with the least amount of influence on a President. How else could Bush have screwed up as many times as he did? No one will read her book.

I saw a PBS show about the Bush dynasty

really don't see a reason for them to tell their story, definately have no results to show for it, recession, we're mired in a civil war etc

what a disgrace the Bushes are

Laura Bush is great.

It is a good thing she will have a lucrative book deal since it is doubtful anyone will want anything to do with George.

@Proud American January 5th, 2009 10:33 pm ET

I would love to read it, but if she mention George once I'm trashing it
-------------------------------–

You would have already wasted your money guy!

WHO CARES!!!!!!!

It's unbelievable how many people are going to trash the first lady.

If you don't like George W....that's one thing, but it's appauling to treat Laura Bush in a negative way in an attempt to get back at her husband.

Don't they have enough money already?

I guess all you Bush-bashers think that Hillary's book – Living History – was a masterpiece. Bwaaah haaa haaa!!!! Who am I kidding? Y'all haven't read a book since grade school.

How to make money after your spouse has been fired.

I wonder if the proceeds will be donated to a wonderful cause that involves children. I feel they have enough money to live in Dallas in the area they are going-so money wouldn't be an issue I'm sure. I would like to see her donate the money to schools in AMERICA that are in need of extra help for buying books and hiring the teachers to teach children to read . It is the basis of the survival of learning. We will have to wait and see what she does. I don't care about George.

oh my, how touching, brings tears to my eyes. and I am sure all proceeds will be donated to the Jeb Bush presidential campaign

“If his approval ratings are factoring into somebody’s decision on whether they want to buy the book, I guess they just don’t want to learn about his point of view.”

We've had 8 years of his point of view. I think I know all I need to at this point.

How do you spell boring?

AS IF ANYONE COULD BELIEVE ANYTHING THESE PEOPLE SAY AS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!! What's the "intimate details" Probably which outfit she wore for press dinners. STOP BUYING IN TO THIS RIDICULOUS ADMINISTRATION , WIVES AND ALL

proud American(?) once again, educate yourself about Bush. Once your boy Obama's in office...he'll continue to write books full of nothingness, just like his speeches. Perhaps he'll have a contrasting opinion in there about how bad whitey is...from his wife or Rev Wright....
IT's amazing how you libs are just so spiteful; to the point you've elected a total ZERO when it comes to competence...see the way he's dancing around issues already? Heck, Laura Bush if far more qualified to be president than your nappyheaded rookie.

That title probably should have read, "Laura Bush reaches deal to write memoir...for George"

Bush actually performed flawlessly as president, he made the top 1 percent much wealthier than before he took office and that was his only goal. Mission Accomplished George !

Who cares ! And that is what Bush did to the American people!

who cares to learn more about her husband?

How I Survived Being Married to the Worst President Ever: A Laura Bush Story.

Will she tell about her attempted murder?

WHAT MEMOIR? A MEMOIR ABOUT THE CROOK AND STUPIDITY OF HUSBAND GEORGE W BUSH .OH! I FORGOT THE DRUGS ALSO. LAURA YOU ARE JUST AS GUILTY AS GEORGE.BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER. ALL THE BUSHES SHOULD BE IN JAIL.

Does anyone seriously think that she is going to reveal anything important. Recall this is the woman who said she was NOT AMUSED that shoes were thrown at her husband.... the athlete. I'm sorry I thought she was a pretty sharp tack in the box until that article...

I would love to read it, but if she mention George once I'm trashing it.
