I Ain't No Stinking Thinker...
And...as if that weren't enough to have to swallow at the moment...we now have gotten wind about a $500,000,000 Library to the "Decider n' Chief"...and it goes a little something like this...Will visitors to the Iraq War Wing be handed rose-colored glasses before entering and having flowers thrown at their feet? Or will they don blinders as they stagger forward, sinking deeper into a man-made quagmire?
Will there be exhibits on waterboarding, illegal wiretapping, and the quaintness of the Geneva Conventions? A room devoted to the nobility and greatness of the Hanging Chad? A holographic image of Osama bin Laden (try and grab him and he slips right through your hands)? The Abu Ghraib Game Room (must be over 18 to enter)?
The President cannot think, the VP hides from it all...and the war torn trinity in Iraq is left to kill another day.
And that will not be what his cronies have ponied up for the Presidential Library...they'll want it white washed and dry cleaned nice and pretty for the "boy king" to pretend it all went together in the end. Fairy land to wander around in as the years go by still deluding himself that it was a job well done...you know...a mission accomplished. SALUTE!

I knew you were going to post that mine field one. I saw that yesterday and had a half a mind to post it myself...but then I said to myself, "I'll bet ya I'll see it tomorrow at Sumo's." I keep hearing about the Presidential Library thing as well, sounds like an expensive undisclosed location, but not the first, I'm sure.

One does have a hard time imagining what kind of library you would build with a half a billion bucks and what Bush could possibly put in it that would not be laughable.

Books on tape! Video games! History of black people and what country they are from! A fetus display next to the armless, legless Iraqi child display! A web covered SS lock-box (empty)! A virtual tour of Darfur! Many beautiful portraits of Hitler, Sharon, and a full history of Israel! Blacked out History books (literally)! A tribute to the Original "Americans" (reservations).
Hell I could go on for days, but you get the gist!

I am surely and dearly hoping (though not holding m'breath) that the Presi Library becomes a moot point when his Impeachment ends in Conviction.
Again, not holding my breath...
Otherwise, it'll be like thepoetryman says, there'll be lots o' blacked out books! {shudder} Oh, and the mandatory Rose Colored Glasses, of course.

His early Viet Nam days as an aviator will have a big hole in the wall - the time unaccounted for. And then there will be the corporate hall of shame ending in a big fat period. Impeachment period.

By the time it's time to build this farce he should be in prison, so will they still build it?
Who the hell would bother to go to it if it's built? His mother and who else?
I guess they could put all that money that was set aside to celebrate winning the war in Iraq toward his library.

Let Bush's library be the first to be surrounded by barb-wire and gun-towers! He and his neo-con buddies can have a cell block party!
