Profiles in Courage

George W. Bush pushed back publication of his memoirs, "Decision Points," out of fear that a public reminder of his presidential legacy would hurt Republicans heading into November's midterm elections, Bush's friends tell the Financial Times.

The FT reports that Bush refused to allow publication in September, which would have been a better time to unveil his book from a sales perspective. Instead, it's slated to hit stores on Nov. 9, one week after Election Day. Bush isn't scheduled to give any interviews for the book tour until Nov. 8.

Well, one thing's for sure.

Unlike Kennedy, Bush wouldn't be getting a Pulitzer Prize for a book he didn't write.

Yeah, I offered mere proof - to wit: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2478/did-john-f-kennedy-really-write-profiles-in-courage - not "prrof" (whatever that is).

Damn, Vince, you win again.

Just incontrovertible proof, but dammit, no "proff."

Oh, Vince, how can I ever win when faced with the "logic" of your steeltrap mind??
