Hugh Hewitt has a neat inteview up with George W. Bush about his memoir, Decision Points. The takeaway for me is that Bush is a very nice man, a real Christian, and highly intelligent in an entirely unpretentious way. He doesn't have anything to prove.
One thing the interview does prove is that Bush is a big reader, and always was, putting the lie to the habitual liberal canard about "dumb" Republicans. (Stevenson was smarter than Eisenhower, Carter was smarter than Reagan, Gore and Kerry were so much smarter than poor George W. Bush.... the whole trope is so tired, and yet they constantly drag it out.)
