What could possibly be put into a George W. Bush presidential library?
Edited on Mon Feb-16-09 01:23 PM by Cyrano
Southern Methodist University in Dallas, to it's everlasting shame, will be the home of the George W. Bush Presidential Library. We're talking about 25 acres. Who knows how much the Bush crime family paid for this abomination?

But here's the big question. What could it possibly contain?

Recordings and prints of George's greatest speeches?

Photos of clueless George trying to get out of a door in China, or squeezing German Prime Minister Merkel's shoulders from behind?

George serving a plastic turkey in Baghdad?

George at John McCain's birthday party while New Orleans drowned?

George with a dish towel shoved into his crotch landing on the "Mission Accomplished" flight deck?

A photo of all the brush he cut on his "ranch?"

Beats me. The images, words, and actions that make him look like a buffoon are endless. I have no idea what they're planning to put there other than recordings of Limbaugh and Rove telling us what a great president George was.

If it were your job to establish a tribute to George W. Bush, what in the world could you possibly put there to make him look "presidential?"

On edit: This is a serious question. How could any sane person put together any kind of "tribute" to this ridiculous, hollow man?

1. I can't believe SMU has 25 acres to spare
And it's a shame they will waste it on something like this.

15. Yep. It would be great if SMU built a homeless shelter on this site.
But this is the real world and such things never happen.

Then again, if George is tried for war crimes, found guilty and sentenced to life, SMU might just convert it to a homeless shelter. -- Oh, who am I kidding. It would become a dorm for young Republicans.

19. I suspect that it's possible because of the damage inflicted on our nation
by Bush's corrupt, incompetent, policies, that many current or previous young Republicans will become homeless.

Maybe they could combine it in to a homeless shelter for homeless, estranged, young Republicans, either that or these people become Democrats.

Deadeye Dick could be sent out to hunt quail to keep them fed.

13. They will hire an actor
made up to look like Bush, but who is articulate and can follow the script Rove is writing right now. Only trouble is the only ones who will believe it are the Limbaugh listeners.

Or a virtual reality exhibit explaining what it's like to be a hanging chad would be a good one.

23. I live not too far from SMU
Edited on Mon Feb-16-09 01:54 PM by DFW
I haven't visited their campus, but I can't help but wonder if 25 acres isn't the entire SMU
campus. If 25 acres have indeed been dedicated to the Bush Library (sounds about as
believable as "military intelligence," but whatever), then my theory is because they want
it to be soo far from anything that it is out of range from harm by anything short of a
cruise missile.

25. Pictures of the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo.
Edited on Mon Feb-16-09 02:21 PM by Cleita
Pictures of George obviously drunk while visiting heads of state and attending the Olympics.

The tape of his deer in headlights face while in the classroom in Florida as the WTO was being attacked and no orders were forthcoming from the commander-in-chief as to how to deal with it.

Pictures of him eating cake and strumming a guitar while people were dying in Hurricane Katrina.

If they are going to chronicle his Presidency, at least they should be honest about it.
