dubya's new autobiography, 'Decision Points', coming in Nov.

The autobiography of George W Bush will go on sale in November, offering the former US president's take on the September 11 terrorist attacks, as well as personal issues such as his battle with alcoholism.

The cover of the book, entitled Decision Points, features Bush standing alone in the White House's rose garden colonnade holding a presidential briefing book.

Bush has said the book will not be a memoir but an account of key decisions in his presidency and personal life. According to Crown Publishers, it will offer "gripping, never-before-heard detail" on 9/11 and the 2000 presidential election as well as his decision to quit drinking and insights into his family life.

"Since leaving the Oval Office, President Bush has given virtually no interviews or public speeches about his presidency," Crown said in a statement. "Instead, he has spent almost every day writing Decision Points."

1. Only one thing to say.
A PR ghostwriter will write most of it for what they want to have as an impact.

5. Yes, and it's curious that they so strongly resist calling it a memoir
I'd guess that means that there are gaps in the narrative, and the gaps might charitably be described as "convenient."

8. I think "Misunderestimated" would have been a better title
Why can't that doofus just go away? HE's an embarassment to America, and as a Texan, I hate that his name is associated with our state. The Bush family is rich scum. That's the best definition and the nicest thing I can say about them.
