2. Dubya's, no contest

I can't get through the first paragraph without laughing my way out of my chair.

Also love the part championing his "signing one of the most sweeping arms reduction pacts in history."

Hilarious how they now call it (right from the whitehouse.gov front page) his "Record of Achievement"

edit: formatting

4. For our quite possible future president
The Boston Globe one and the Tour of Duty one were fantastic. I never got through the Big Dawg's autobio :eyes:
