Fiction or Non-fiction?

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan to write memoir (AP):
“The book will take readers behind-the-scenes of the Bush presidency, covering both strengths and weaknesses, successes and shortcomings with refreshing candor,” according to a statement issued Tuesday by PublicAffairs.
McClellan lied for a living. It’s not up for debate, just check the archives. This shouldn’t disqualify him from writing a book, even a memoir. But if his recent appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher is any indication, I really hope the James Frey rule is in full effect.

Chapter One: How Pushing Your Chin Into Your Chest Makes Lying Easier
I learned this one back when I was a little guy in Texas. Big guys used to pull my underwear over my head and throw me in the creek. That’s when I learned to push my chin into my chest and tell great big lies. Into the mirror in my bedroom. With my underwear over my head.
