W has plans to build a half billion presidential library
« on: November 27, 2006, 01:36:20 pm »
to showcase his "accomplishments."  Outrageous. It wll be the most expensive presidential library ever built.  What if they build a library and nobody comes? I don't think the Nixon library receives many visitors. Well Bush has enough yahoo "fans" who will think he's some kind of victim of media bias and he's mistunderstood.    I wonder if the library will have photos of the Victory Accomplished moment on the aircraft carrier. I wonder if Katrina will be mentioned.  I wonder if his election victory/fiasco in 2000 will be noted.

It's going to be built close to SMU. Isn't that where Lureen Newsome went to school at. ;)

President Bush is as crazy as a shit house rat. Hopefully he will fail to raise any funds and this atrocity of a library will never be built.

It should be mandatory requirement that in order to build a library in one's honor, the honoree should be able to READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure it'll be filled with thousands and thousands of books about him and himself.

He could also be sure to have all the books he's written.  Oh - that's right - make that a million copies of the one book he "wrote."

hehe...I was watching the movie Wordplay last weekend, and there was a sequence where Bill Clinton was working the NYT crossword puzzle, and a certain nameless person in the audience started ridiculing him for taking so long (6 minutes!!) I started to giggle thinking what GWB would do with a crossword puzzle!
