Repackaging the spin

Shouldn't he be more worried about fixing the problems than framing his failures to make them look better to history.
President Bush. Insiders say that he's been working on the project for a year. "He's doing a memoir," one insider says. "He's keenly interested in it." But here's the odd part: Bush hasn't actually written a word yet. Instead, he and his aides have been packaging the stuff he wants to reference so that he'll be ready to write when the project moves into that stage. And that probably won't happen until after he leaves office.

Nixon's memoirs sold quite well from what I remember.

  • ... until after he leaves office.

    Or until his next multi-month vacation, whichever comes first.

  • The AP had a story yesterday where GOPers bragged about how the preznit has been taking his show on the road recently and actually giving press conferences outside of Washington. More p.r. was promised by the administration, w/ Tony Snow saying it was important for the preznit to get his message out in the lead-up to the midterms.

    That's all these guys can do - fucking photo ops and p.r. opportunities.

    Can't wait to read Bushie's memoir. Will it be a graphic novel with lots of pictures of Bush on the pile at Ground Zero?

  • Kvatch it's gonna take awhile to track down the right color crayons.

    And Reality based, I've said it before. If they put as much effort into running the war as they put into spinning the war, Iraq would be a paradise.

  • Actually, we don't know yet.

    "He's keenly interested in it." But here's the odd part: Bush hasn't actually written a word yet.

  • The package might be part of the preparation for his defense.
    If the spin works for the great unwashed it should work in court.

  • That's a good point, cartledge.

  • Perhaps he'll put everything in a comic book form (kinda like Eminem).

  • To me it just confirms his focus on being perceived as a great president rather than actually trying to be a great president. It resonates with some sense I have of his character.
