Undo-It-Yourself

The Annotated ‘Decision Points’

by George W. Bush
Crown, $16.97 (lowest price for secondhand copy on Amazon.com)

Everyone expected Dubya’s auto-(cough, cough)-biography to be utterly self-serving, but reality threw this book at the wall when the Decider started rambling about Kanye. So grab yourself a secondhand copy – it benefits the local economy without putting cash into the Bush coffers – and a stack of Post-its. Write your own corrections, and stick them in the margins next to every fib and falsehood. That’s the version you should give to your Fox News-watching friends and relatives. (This also works with Gov. Rick Perry‘s Fed Up! and pretty much anything convicted felon Tom DeLay ever wrote, said, or did.)
