Has anybody read it? Why is it selling so well.
My guess is that over the next couple of decades the re-imaging campaign of George W. Bush will have him seated at the right hand of the gipper in conk mythology.

War Room Why are Bush's book sales so great?
By Alex Pareene
According to Crown Publishing Group, George W. Bush's lightly plagiarized memoir "Decision Points" has already sold more than 2 million copies -- counting e-books -- since it went on sale in November. That's a lot! As Glynnis MacNicol points out, that's almost as much as Bill Clinton's book has sold since it was released six years ago.
But ... why? Clinton left office with good approval ratings and was largely remembered fondly, especially as the Bush years dragged to their depressing end. Bill's also smart and articulate, and his administration's scandals tended to be more personal in nature than Bush's. In addition to being an awful communicator, Bush is famously reticent to reflect on his decisions, and in his book he's obviously relying on other people's written accounts of his presidency, which is ... a bit odd, to say the least...
I don't know what's worse: the book by a national politician "on the make," or one by an ex-President seeking to whitewash everything.
Obama is doing a fine job according to
