Will Bush write a book?:

When George W. Bush leaves office in January, he’s likely to join other past presidents and write a memoir. However, publishers aren’t that interested in producing something from history’s most unpopular president at this point and are suggesting that he “take [his] time.” Even Marji Ross of the conservative Regnery Publishing said, “Certainly the longer he waits, the better.” President Clinton received $15 million for his autobiography, “My Life,” although few expect Bush will command the same sum.

Brian Beutler adds:

The sad truth is that if Bush were to write an honest memoir--and not a dishonest self-hagiography--I'd be much more interested in reading it than I would be in reading Bill Clinton's [book].
