W is a class act, so unlike some former Presidents we could name — not to mention the *** now in the WH.

I could make many criticisms of President Bush, but as far as I remember, he and Laura always conducted themselves with the dignity befiting their positions. A class act who, even though slapped silly in the press by his predecessors, apparently is going to observe that quaint tradition that ex-presidents do not publicly criticize their successors.

Perhaps not a very good president (although I don't think he was a bad one), but a good man who tried his best. And he must have done something right ... I don't think the absence of a successful terrorist attack in the US following 9/11 was because Al Queda just folded their tents and went home.

The timing of the release is likely the publisher's doing - after the spanking the dems are going to get on Tuesday, I think a lot more people will be interested in what "W" has to say.
