George W. Bush Coming To the Miami Book Fair To Talk Up His Memoir

What better way to celebrate the pending GOP sweep of the House (and just maybe the Senate) than to relive the good ol' days under Dubya with No. 43 himself? If you're among the thousands in Dade feeling nostalgic for life under Rummy, Condi and Cheney, you're in luck!

George W. Bush, the Decider himself, just announced that he's coming to the Miami International Book Fair in a couple weeks to talk up his new memoir, Decision Points. Maybe he'll clear up what that whole War in Iraq thing was really all about?

Nah, turns out the book is mostly about Bush overcoming his struggles with alcoholism. But there should be plenty of nostalgia for South Florida -- the book also centers on the 2000 election, hanging chads and all.

After presumably living in Cheney's secret cryogenic bunker for the last couple years, W. has been jumping back into the limelight lately. Last night, he joined his dad to toss out the first pitch at the Rangers' World Series game.

But Bush's Miami appearance, scheduled for 4 p.m. on Nov. 14, will be among his first talking about the memoir. Last night, he declined to even talk about the baseball game because of an embargo on the book.

Tickets for his speech cost $40 (including a signed copy of Decision Points), and go on sale this Friday.

I, and many others on the Miami Book Fair website were waiting before noon to purchase tickets by continually refreshing. At no time were tickets made available on the website or, it seems, to the general public. This is an outrage given that the book fair is supposed to be for the "community". It seems that the tickets were either sold to a closed group, or were never intended to be available to the public. I, and many of your readers, would greatly appreciate it if you could look into this and let your readers know. Thank you.
This will all be moot when Dubya's book outsells all the Liberal trash.
You can tell when Obama's lying, his lips are moving! Everything that comes out of that man's mouth is total bullshit! Thank God, we have an election day today where we can minimize the damage that his "highness" is doing to our beloved country. Obama is the worst president in the history of our nation and the sooner the door hits his ass on the way out, the better off we'll be. We want an American in the White House, not some bush league Kenyan who's a sell out to his country! When Obama and his islamic/socialist/communist pals pull out, we will have to scrub clean all the damage he's done to us. Shame, shame, shame...
You tea baggeers are a bunch of idiots. Did Obama lie to get my boy into a war with Iraq where his life was lost??? Did Obama drop the ball in attacking the country that attacked us and concentrated on another country?? How many people have to die for you idiots to understand Biush was a piece of crap??? How many Americans need to be lied to? What do you have against Obama?? Spending??? Do you think I give a crap about that when my buddy is dead for freedom of some country that noone in this country gives a darn about?? F*&K Bush and traitor Cheney who gives up the name of a CIA operative for oil. Tea baggers are nothing but traitors
Obama's legacy, if you can call it that, will be how he destroyed the American way of life. He makes George W. Bush look like an amateur by comparison! The reason you don't know about it yet, is that Obama's regime has kept all the "destruction" out of the lamestream media. Why does Obama go so far as to completely wipe clean ANYTHING about his past, as far as records go? No Freedom of Information Act will get anything out of his corrupt administration, either! "Request denied..." We, as a nation, want to know who and what, is running our country. We sure as hell don't get it with our current regime. History, unfortunately will come back to haunt us after Obama is "finished' wiping his ass with us... Impeach the Bastard!!
Obama has done about as good a job of cleaning up "Bush's Mess" as BP did in stopping the oil spill.
Who cares what this failure has to say or what his excuses are - he bankrupt the Texas Rangers, he bankrupt his oil company and he bankrupt the Nation - he is a complete failure as a man and as a person and his shoddy attempt to embrace religion as a form of redemption even a bigger failure - he can take all the bows he wants at the world series but he dragged that team, this country and the world down with him to his base way of viewing, thinking, talking, living and acting in our world. Ernie hit the nail on the head Obamas book will be called "How I Had to Clean up Bush's Mess and Got Blamed for It The First Two Years".
Ernie, What's Obama's post presidency book going to be called? "How I toppled America for Islam," would be a good one, or "How George Soros raped the Democratic Party," would be another... LOL, you sound like a complete moron who watches MSNBC, CBS, ABC, take your pick. Baaah, baaah, you're a good sheeple who follows the rest off the cliff! Think for yourself, man! Don't let those left wingnuts control you like a robot! You're falling right in line with the rest of 'em, nothing to see here, move along, folks...
Ernie is not bitter. Sense, you're just delusional. Since when do books and G.W. Bush get lumped into the same sentence without a "My Pet Goat."

Ernie, you sound bitter and have no idea what you are talking about.
What an audacious despicable disgrace to American GW continues to be. His memoirs of what - how he wrecked America, how he carried on the long Nazi-era beginnings of a family tradition of war-profiteering, how he sold his soul to Faust, how he avoided serving his country, but had no reservation about using 5,000+ young American lives as fodder in his reckless wars? When it goes on sale for $1 at the Dollar Store, only then will it's true value be recognized - as toilet paper so stray dogs can wipe their asses with it.
