Former President George W. Bush lifted passages from other writings and passed them off as his own thoughts in his new memoir, "Decision Points," an article published Friday on the Huffington Post website alleges.
The article by Ryan Grim, senior congressional correspondent for the Huffington Post, said Crown Publishing promises readers "gripping, never-before-heard detail" but ended up delivering "a mash-up of worn-out anecdotes from previously published memoirs written by his subordinates, from which Bush lifts quotes word for word, passing them off as his own recollections."
The Huffington Post article and an accompanying slideshow present 16 instances of similarities between Bush passages and previously written books, newspaper or magazine articles.
TIL the world's tallest known living tree, a 380-foot redwood in California
called Hyperion, had its exact location closed off entirely in 2022 after
visitors trampled its base so badly that ferns stopped growing around it,
with trespassers now facing up to $5,000 in fines and six months in jail
