Bush daydreams about a submarine "taking out" Bill Clinton's Library


President Bush once daydreamed about blasting Bill Clinton's presidential library to smithereens, according to a new book. In "How Bush Rules: Chronicles of a Radical Regime," former Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal recounts a November 2004 visit by Bush and his political guru Karl Rove to the William J. Clinton Library in Little Rock, Ark., on the banks of the Arkansas River.

"Bush appeared distracted and glanced repeatedly at his watch," Blumenthal writes about a presidential tour during the library's dedication. "When he stopped to gaze at the river, where Secret Service agents were stationed in boats, the guide said: 'Usually, you might see some bass fishermen out there.' Bush replied: 'A submarine could take this place out.'"

The author muses: "Was the President warning of an Al Qaeda submarine, sneaking undetected up the Mississippi, through the locks and dams of the Arkansas River, surfacing under the bridge to the 21st century to dispatch the Clinton Library? Is that where Osama Bin Laden is hiding? Or was this a wishful paranoid fantasy of ubiquitous terrorism destroying Clinton's legacy with one blow?"

Blumenthal, who attributes his account to two anonymous eyewitnesses, adds that "Rove showed keen interest in everything he saw, and asked questions, including about costs, obviously thinking about a future George W. Bush library and legacy. "'You're not such a scary guy,' joked his guide. 'Yes, I am,' Rove replied. Walking away, he muttered deliberately and loudly: 'I change constitutions, I put churches in schools.'"

6. You won't be alone...
I understand that the people who make those Plexiglas "sneeze guards" for salad bars have been specially commissioned to design a "presidential piss barrier" to surround the final resting place of George W. It is being specially engineered to "keep freshness in, keep moisture out."

8. bet you it's the latter ...
To my knowledge, Bush does not play any musical instruments -- but he did sit in the back of classroom and chew tobacco, when he was at Harvard.

7. Rove is a treasonous
individual. He as much as admitted it. I do believe he is a danger to the security of the USA. Hey Fitz, what more do you need.
