The Guardian reports that “Bill Clinton regularly requests early copies of Carl Hiassen’s novels”
and Bush the Father “recently wrote asking for some signed bookplates for his wife.” Bush the
Son hasn’t yet asked for an autograph, but Hiassen doesn’t expect him to. “I’d be thrilled if he did
because it would suggest he has a sense of humour, which would suggest that he has intelligence,”
Hiassen told the Guardian. “But
I’d bet the only fiction that boy reads is memos from Cheney.”
