President Bush has signed a book deal with Crown to publish his memoir, tentatively titled “Decision Points.” The deal is worth a reported $7 million — a hefty sum, but it pales in comparison to the rumored $11 million Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) might fetch. As Gawker pointed out, other political figures have landed more lucrative deals:
It’s $5 million less than Bill Clinton’s advance for My Life, $1 million less than Hillary Clinton got for Living History, and $2 million less than the advance for the memoirs of Tony Friggin’ Blair.
Late last year, some publishers were suggesting that Bush hold off writing a book, because of his dramatically low approval ratings. “[G]iven how the public feels about him right now, I think patience would probably be something that I would encourage,” Paul Bogaards, executive director of publicity for Alfred A. Knopf, said

The book company with use the 7 million to Bush as a donation to his Library as a tax right off. The Book will sale 4 for one dollar and two hours later it will go to line the cat litter box.
His mother's book can be found in resale shops for 50 cents. So who will ghost write for Dubya (since we know he can barely print his own name) LOL
Decision Points, so what, it will be five pages long?
