(AP)  Karl Rove's memoir has a title, "Courage and Consequence," and a release date - March 9, 2010.

Rove, the mastermind of George W. Bush's two successful presidential runs and a top White House aide, signed in 2007 with Threshold Editions, a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster that has published best sellers by commentators Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.

Threshold also will release former Vice President Dick Cheney's memoir.

"Courage and Consequence," according to Threshold, "frankly responds to critics, passionately articulates his political philosophy and openly explains the reasons behind his decisions in campaigns and the White House."

Rove, who became synonymous with ruthless but effective campaign tactics, said in a statement Threshold issued Wednesday that his book would be "a frank account of what I witnessed and my often-controversial role."

Memoirs from former President George W. Bush, former first lady Laura Bush and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld are also scheduled for next year.

Simon & Schuster and CBS are owned by the same company.

Upcoming Memoirs to be published into books by George, Laura, Cheney, Rove and Rumsfield.

Never have we seen the lives of so many innocent trees sacrificed for
a less nobel cause.

Add Caribou Barbie's recent contibution to pulp fiction and the tragedy is complete.

What about the Trees!!! Doesn't anyone care about the trees??!!

Perhaps these books will eventually be recycled into something useful Like rolls of Charmin.

The conceitedness of this Putz is mind-boggling!

I bet he brags in his book about what a cool dancer he is.

If Karl is true to form his book will have many many more disingenuous facts in it than Sarah Palin's. If Cheney was Hitler, Rove would be Himmler.

I Hope he Reveals the Bush-Cheney Policies, he Influenced, that had this Nation on the Brink Of Tanking.

The Recession Began in 2007 , such as..

_____________

Bush Summer 2008: "The Economy's about To Crater"

"This Suckers about to Collaspe"

You [[Dummy]]

Bush-Cheney 2008 Bailouts of...

1. Bear-Sterns

2. Morgan-Stanley

3. Bank Of America

4. Citi-Group

5. Wall Street

6. GM & Chrysler

7. The Two Mid-East Wars and Borrowing 20 Billion Per month for the past 8 Years from Communist-Socialist China, with Interest at 500 Million a Day.


Hell, even Glenn Beck Admitted..

"Bush Started the BailOuts and he Hated Him for it"

You Tube It

Also How has Rove been able to Avoid being [Incarcerated] ??

Good! I wonder what the price of it will be?

Will it be cheaper than a 12-roll pack of 'Bounty'?!

Did you mean a 12-roll pack of Charmin?
Nothin like flat sheets of butt-wipe with Karl Rove's picture on the cover to get the job done.

This book will take lying to a whole new level. Perhaps we will have a new word "roving" in the dictionary last year. The definition is lying wildly to fulfill your delusions of grandeur.
