Cheney Seeks Book Deal on Bush Years and More

[Nonno]

"WASHINGTON — With his sustained blitz of television appearances and speeches, former Vice President Dick Cheney has established himself as perhaps the leading Republican voice against President Obama.

Not a bad time, then, to be in the market for a multimillion-dollar book contract.

Mr. Cheney is actively shopping a memoir about his life in politics and service in four presidential administrations, a work that would add to what is already an unusually dense collection of post-Bush-presidency memoirs that will offer a collective rebuttal to the many harshly critical works released while the writers were in office and beyond."

"A person familiar with discussions Mr. Cheney has had with publishers said he was seeking more than $2 million for his advance. That sum may prove hard to get in this economic climate, especially given his generally low approval ratings, which publishers view as a potential — but not certain — harbinger for sales."

Why shouldnt he. Bill Clinton got rich off books, Obama got rich off books, Hillary got rich off books. Obama has already signed to seel a book after he gets out of the White House. Why shouldnt Cheney get some of that money?

Be a nice change to read the truth for a change too.

After he writes his book, you will really find out who the President was from 2001 through 2007. Bet it won't be Bush!
