BREAKING: Passage in "Decision Points" where Bush expresses dislike of green eggs & ham plagarized
CNN, Dallas - In the wake of recent accusations regarding plagarism and the new George W. Bush memoir "Decision Points," the estate of a well-known children's author has joined the chorus.

In the chapter on his days as Governor of Texas, Bush writes about his dislike for certain foods, including green eggs and ham:

I could not, would not, in a house.
I would not, could not, with a mouse.
I would not eat them with a fox.
I would not eat them in a box.
I would not eat them here or there.
I would not eat them anywhere.
I would not eat green eggs and ham.


The estate of Theodor Seuss Geisel, A.K.A. "Dr. Seuss," has produced a copy of the book below as proof of their claims:



The passage does indeed appear in the book, exactly as it does in "Decision Points."

Former Vice President Dick Cheney lashed out at the Seuss estate, claiming that Geisel in fact stole the passage from Bush, who wrote prolifically under the pen name of Johnny Lee Taint in his high school years. "This is simply one more pathetic attempt by the liberals to smear the reputation of an honorable, educated man," Cheney told our reporters.
