George W. Bush to Visit Facebook HQ Monday for Live Video Q&A
http://mashable.com/2010/11/28/george-w-bush-facebook

Former U.S. President George W. Bush’s book tour will stop at Facebook’s headquarters in Palo Alto on Monday, with the social networking site announcing a “Facebook Live” event for 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT.

Bush has been making the media rounds over the past several weeks, appearing on The Today Show, Oprah and The Tonight Show among other programs to talk about his memoir “Decision Points.”

Like other Facebook Live events, users will have an opportunity to ask Bush questions, though at this point it’s unclear how the event will be moderated or who will be asking user’s questions.

1. Oh, I want to participate...
because I would ask him why he isn't in jail yet. I wonder if they'd let me ask that?

2. "How much did you pay the staff of writers to decipher your drunken ramblings for the book?"

8. Here's the answer
"Cleaning up the Texas Guard records became a lot easier once W. was the titular commander in chief of the state's National Guard units. The effort got under way just months after Bush's inauguration. On May 16, 1995, Joe Allbaugh, by then Bush's chief of staff, met with Guard officials and asked to see Bush's personnel records. Three days later, they were sent over to the governor's office from the office of the outgoing adjutant general. "I am enclosing copies of the Texas Air National Guard personnel records for Mr. Daniel O. Shelley and Governor George W. Bush," wrote Turk. It is not clear why Shelley's records were also requested, except that he was about to be named Bush's legislative director. In any case, asking for two records rather than one likely was a form of cover -- comparable to what happened in 1972 when George W. Bush failed to take his mandatory National Guard physical and was joined in this violation by his friend Jim Bath. In each instance, the special treatment accorded W. was made to seem more "routine" by the fact that at least one other person was included.

That the people around the governor were concerned was evident when Dan Bartlett traveled to Denver to personally review the microfiche copy of Bush's records on file at the Air Reserve Personnel Center. Although Bartlett had little or no knowledge of the military, he would turn out to be a good man for the job. As was true of most Bush appointees, his primary qualification was loyalty. Bartlett had gone to work for Karl Rove's political consulting business in 1992, right out of college, and so by the 2000 presidential campaign, his entire adult life had been in service to Rove and Bush."

5. Hey George, do you remember
James Hatfield? Remember he wrote that book about you called "Fortunate Son" and documented your long love affair with cocaine. Were you and your friend Karl there when he committed "suicide"?

I'm sure that one would make it past the censors.
