Squat Wanker wants to be President, so he got a Bushie to ghostwrite a book.

To be a presidential contender, demonstrate gravitas and readiness to lead — you have to publish. JFK wrote his Pulitzer Prize-winning “Profiles in Courage,” and people began to take his presidential aspirations seriously. President Obama released “The Audacity of Hope” — and it became a best-seller.

Taking a chapter from George W. Bush's “A Charge to Keep,” — Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has put his name on a lightweight tome (written by someone else) filled with partisan rhetoric which resembles nothing more than a long-form presidential stump speech.

...

Thankfully, I'm nothing like you, Governor Walker — but this is the beauty of publishing FICTION — I actually agree with you. We're going to part company on WHY things look grim, but before we go any further — do you suppose your supporters see what you did there? You DO NOT have a "view from Washington," Scott — you have a view from Madison, Wisconsin.

I hope the good folks who skimped on presents for the kids to fuel your ambition to be president — oh, sorry, your desire to be re-elected governor — understand just how little you'll actually be DOING that job, now that you've set your sights on moving to the District of Columbia. What other fiction are you weaving? I'll break up your Wall-O-Text™ into sentences to help the reader see what you're REALLY trying to say — okay?
