Pickles is lining up multi-million dollar deals for her memoir- POOR GEORGE
President Bush's plans to pen a memoir of his time in office may have been curtailed, but he's not going to be able to take comfort in the fact that a down economy has the publishing world bearish on presidential remembrances anymore. Because while he can't even get wingnut welfare imprint Regnery Publishing to take his phone calls, his wife is setting up a deal for her own book that looks like a towering pile of dollar bills:

LAURA Bush is lining up a multimillion-dollar deal to write her memoirs - but the first lady's lame-duck hubby may have to wait years before cashing in on a tell-all about his two troubled terms as president.

"Laura is interviewing publishers who are bidding on her memoirs," one biographer told Page Six. "The publishers are coming to the White House to meet with her and discuss the book."



Most industry observers think that President Bush should wait about five years before delivering his memoir, tentatively titled A Staggering Stagger of Staggering Staggering.

1. Laura will need the cash when she dumps his sorry drunk ass after they leave the White House.

I think she's had enough of his drunken fits and cocaine highs.

It will be an ugly divorce, no doubt blamed on the demands placed on them during their years in the White House...I can hear it now...spare me.

Look for Laura's book on the $1.99 sale table at a book store near you...

2. Publish his coloring books.
Guess no one is interested in reading something from someone who doesn't read.

3. Aren't there laws about criminal profiting from their crimes by writing a book?

How could Dubya write his memoirs? Apart from the fact he burned out his memory a few grams of coke ago.

13. If I thought Laura was going to be even a little honest it would be worth a read
But let's be honest, she's going to spend 500 plus pages justifying everything her husband and his administration did.
