Is George Bush too dumb to write his own book?

George W. Bush, the guy who ran the country for 8 years, is back. And this time, he's writin' books. It's the perfect Christmas gift for your Republican relative, who you have nothing in common with.

Bush's new memoir, Decision Points, was released recently and it is the usual re-hashing of important points in his colossal error of a presidency without the requisite insight and analysis you should probably get from the person who was actually there and making the important decisions.

You may have seen him making up with Kanye West recently on the Today Show. Wouldn't it be great if Bush got a guest verse on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy?

Anyways, it turns out that Bush couldn't even bother to write some of his own memoir. The HuffingtonPost points out that some of the book was lifted from the book American Soldier by one of the guys who ran the Afghan war, Tommy Franks:

Meet the guy who wrote the book on Stapleton

There is a book singing tomorrow at Snug Harbor to celebrate the release of 'Stapleton' by James Ferreri and David Goldfarb.

The book looks at the history of Stapleton, from its purchase it 1832 to the influx of German immigrants and large brewing industry in the historic neighborhood. But nothing about the Wu Tang Clan?

You can pick up the book at tomorrow's signing.

We can't wait to meet the authors of one of our favorite Staten Island neighborhoods and find out why Ghostface was not included in this epic tome.
