Upcoming: Five Bushie Memoirs

Timing couldn’t be worse for GOP.

Could George W. Bush come back to haunt the GOP in 2010? Though the Republican Party’s prospects are looking good, memoirs by as many as five Bush administration officials are set to be published between New Year’s Day and next November. First up is Hank Paulson’s On the Brink: Inside the Race to Stop the Collapse of the Global Financial System. Laura Bush’s memoir will publish next, and then George W. Bush’s own book, tentatively titled Decision Points. After him, there’s Donald Rumsfeld, who has promised that the Iraq War will be covered in his book. Last but not least, there’s Karl Rove’s book. The good news for the GOP? Dick Cheney’s book isn’t slated until 2011.
