George W. Bush launches Facebook contest

IF you've ever wanted to ask former US President George W. Bush in person about his new memoir "Decision Points," start getting your questions ready, a posting on his Facebook page says.

The message - left on a page which the former president launched in June to publicise his memoir, due to hit the shelves November 9 - tells contestants to submit five questions they’d like to ask Mr Bush.
After 100 finalists are chosen, each will be asked to submit a two-minute video. The top five videos will then be posted on Mr Bush’s Facebook wall and viewers can vote for the winner.
That person will receive round-trip airfare to Dallas, an opportunity to interview Mr Bush about his book and a signed copy of Decision Points.
