The Decider Decides. NYT book review
Edited on Thu Nov-04-10 04:43 AM by SpiralHawk
NYT review of xCommander AWOL Bush's 'autobiography'
By MICHIKO KAKUTANI
Published: November 3, 2010

"George W. Bush’s memoir “Decision Points” could well have been titled “The Decider Decides”..."

"...a dogged work of reminiscence by an author not naturally given to introspection, “Decision Points” lacks the emotional precision and evocative power of his wife Laura’s book, “Spoken From the Heart,” published earlier this year..."

1. Book features 'Deep Thoughts' on sundry 'Republicon Family Values'

FROM THE REVIEW
"..includes some off-color jokes and conclude with an aside about dog poop?.."

"...Mr. Bush’s default mode is regular-guy-politico, and his moods vacillate mainly among the defensive and the diligent — frat boy irreverence, religious certainty and almost willful obliviousness..."
