Help Dick Cheney name his yet-to-be-published memoir book......
Because I'm a Star Wars fan, I'm thinking the title should be: "He's More Machine Now Than Man"

Report: Cheney felt Bush stopped taking his advice
3 hours ago

WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney believes his old boss, President George W. Bush, gradually turned away from his advice during their second term in the White House, showing a surprising independence as he started taking more flexible positions on a range of issues, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Cheney, often described as the most influential vice president in U.S. history, has been discussing his years in office in informal talks with authors, diplomats, policy experts and past colleagues, the Post said, as he works on a memoir due out in 2011 from Simon & Schuster's Threshold Editions.

Robert Barnett, who negotiated Cheney's book contract, passed word to potential publishers that the memoir would be packed with news, said the article published on the Post Web site, and Cheney himself has said, without explanation, that "the statute of limitations has expired" on many of his secrets.

The book will cover Cheney's long career from chief of staff under President Gerald Ford to vice president under Bush. ............(more)

25. Trash
I would name his book "Trash"...both because of the lies that will undoubtedly be told within the pages, and also to indicate where the book should be placed.

27. I suppose he could plagiarize George Bernard Shaw...
and call it 'The Devil's Disciple'. With himself as devil, and Bush as the not-quite-obedient-enough disciple!
