WASHINGTON—President George W. Bush told reporters Monday that he remains optimistic that the impending recession will end before his memoirs go on sale. "With any luck, we can pull together as a nation and get through this thing before Dec. 15, 2010," said Bush, referring to the tentative release date of his autobiography, Born Leading.

2. Not "Onionish"--I know how he can sell MILLIONS of copies!!!

Print those memoirs on rolls of toilet paper, and sell them for fifty cents each!

Wouldn't you pay to wipe your ass on them?

3. It's the Onion!

Why wait til 2010? These books are available now at a bookstore near you. (My apologies for the vulgarity.)

4. Thanks for the Chuckle--I NEEDED That!

The chain of absurdity of Bush actually producing memoirs (or rather, finding someone to ghost them), of any publisher being THAT hard up to produce them, and any store stocking them, let alone any fool buying them, is worthy of the greatest humorists of all time.

5. Heh. The real title should be "Born On Third Base"

with subtitle "and still managed to end up a loser".

7. the only thing that made me think this was satire was the piddly amount of money involved

Bush would be thinking about profits in the billions with his business cronies, not the nickel and dime millions from book sales.
