Former Administration to Write Books
Who knew they could even read?
I kid, I kid.
It seems the whole gaggle of Bush’s recently-departed team have decided to write memoirs.
Laura Bush just signed with Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, to pen her life story. It’s slated for publication in spring 2010. “I am very pleased to be associated with Scribner, the distinguished publishing house of many of my favorite books,” the former First Lady said. “I look forward to working with Scribner and the Simon & Schuster team as I tell the stories of the extraordinary events and people I’ve met in my life, particularly during my years in the White House.” Mrs. Bush, a former librarian, has long been a literacy advocate and book nut.
Republican Karl Rove, Dubya’s former adviser, is also on tap to write his story. He has signed a $1.5 million contract with Threshold Editions, another Simon & Schuster imprint. ”All of us at Threshold are thrilled to publish the book from the man who had the president’s ear for two terms,” said Threshold publisher and executive vice president Louise Burke said.
Both Mrs. Bush and Rove are being represented by superstar Washington lawyer Robert Barnett, who negotiated their contracts (<snark comment> and I’m sure got them just what they so desperately need: even more money! </snark comment>). Barnett also represented President Obama and former President Clinton when they penned their books.
Condoleeza Rice has confirmed that she will start slinging the ink, too. The former Secretary of State — herself represented by the illustrious William Morris Agency – will be meeting with publishers to discuss multiple book projects, including a memoir of her service in the Bush administration. Details are sketchy, and all talks are in the early stages.
How much truth will actually be included in these books is, of course, debatable. I just hope Mrs. Bush throws in a recipe for opossum.

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.

WHAT IS A SNARK?
The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.
But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.

Hi
Some time before, I needed to buy a good house for my business but I did not earn enough money and could not buy anything. Thank God my mate adviced to try to take the loan at reliable bank. So, I did so and used to be satisfied with my credit loan.
