Cheney Memoir Planned For 2011

Former Vice President Dick Cheney has a book deal with a conservative imprint at Simon & Schuster.

The memoir by Cheney, widely considered the most powerful vice president in history, is expected to be published in Spring 2011, a few months after President George W. Bush's book comes out. Cheney's work is currently untitled and will cover his long career in government, from chief of staff under President Ford to vice president under Bush.

Known for his secrecy while in the Bush administration, Cheney has made clear for months that he was planning a book. He is working on it from his home outside of Washington, D.C., with the assistance of his daughter, Liz Cheney.

WHY NOT 2009 or 2010,,,?????

Because cheney wont complete his creative writing
course till the end of 2010,,,,

,,,where Bush with a proven record of 935 incidents
of decreed "creativity" fashioned at such a level of
imagination that they got him into making an illegal
invasion of another country look like a mission of
mercy obviously merely has to sit down, being careful
not to miss the chair spilling his Jack Daniels, and
have someone type out his "memoirs" for him.

There are still millions of misguided people out there who consider Bush and Cheney as heroes. Most of them have money and a lot of them will buy both books. I wonder if either one will come with the crayons?

Bush's book will be a coloring comic book format mainly about his having the most vacation time of any president with a dikchunary of his own words in the back.
Cheney's book will be encrypted, and no one but him will be able to unencrypt it and all copies will be kept in a secret undisclosed location.

It's not inconsequential that George W. Bush was the least intelligent, most easily deceived, and poorly advised president in history. All the credit doesn't go to Dick Cheney!

LOL! You'd have to be TOTALLY bored of life to want to read anything Cheney has to say! What a laugh!

It ought to be the biggest collection of lies, distortions, and outright contempt for the public since Richard Nixon released his parting thoughts!
