George W. Bush Lands $7 Million Book Deal

According to book industry sources, Crown publishers has agreed to pay former president George W. Bush a cool $7 million for a memoir that is tentatively titled, Decision Points. The "decider", it turns out, is already a good way through the project. The Daily Beast reports that 30,000 words have been written so far.

Because every piece of news is a partisan contest of some sort or other, liberal readers will, no doubt, be quick to point out that Bill Clinton received an advance of $8 million for the less artfully titled, My Life.

So what kind of prose can we expect from a man so inspired by Albert Camus? A few existential moments here and there, to be sure:

...he'll write about a dozen personal and professional choices, including giving up drinking and picking Dick Cheney as his vice president.

So, do you still need to read the back cover and the book flap summary, or are you sold?
