Laura Bush looking into book deal
NEW YORK - First lady Laura Bush wants to write a memoir and will be meeting with several publishers, according to three publishing executives with knowledge of the proceedings.

They asked not to be identified, saying discussions are in the early stages and highly confidential.

The sources said the wife of President George W. Bush is being represented by high-powered Washington attorney Robert Barnett, whose clients include President-elect Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton.

~snip
An object of fascination even among those who didn't vote for her husband, the first lady has said little about her private life or her White House years. She's known as a passionate reader, and a book contract could rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's $8 million deal for 2003's "Living History."

While publishers have urged President Bush to hold off on shopping a proposal, citing his poor approval ratings, they have expressed great enthusiasm about his wife.

2. "The War Criminal's Bride"
I guess the Bush Library is desperate for more than just picture books.

11. Yeah because she's about twice as popular as he is
if not 3x...

His books won't even sell at Republican convetions...

The only way the Bushes can cash in is by Laura the Librarian writing her book. George the Goofup won't be able to.
