BS: The $500 million GW Bush library

What could be funnier than that?

Well the fact that it will double as a think tank is hysterical.
Also the Bush people said it will be built by huge donations from wealthy hiereses, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

And it well be called the George W. Bush Liberry.

Some of the books won't even have been colored in yet.

His reading list will be bronzed and displayed in the lobby.
The east wing may be called "My struggle", the south wing "shock and awe", the west wing "comma" and the north wing ...

And of course 'My Pet Goat' will be prominently displayed. It ia an historical artifact.

Are "Dick and Jane" books that expensive nowadays?

This will definitely be a "Fools Lye-berri"

If this was not so very sad it would be funny.

What a pathetic legacy this human has left for this once proud Nation.

Michael Feldman's "Whadda ya know" said it was going to built by Halliburton to the tune of half a billion dollars; that's with the cost overrides built in. It will house two books and, yes, it will be the GW Bush LIBERRY. Feldman also said there would no Presidential Paper as the shrub doesn't like to leave a paper trail!:-)

This is too funny, on so many levels.
I saw the plans, seems that they've chosen to build the structure with lego's & erector sets; the no bid contract goes to two firms, Buck-tail & Hell-a-burning. The landscaping will be done with play-dough & plastic shrub-bery & the statue of the two bare naked ladies will be unveiled replica's of George's daughters as an aid in the campaign to practice safe sex. On the left as one walks in there'll be the original Constitution all whiten out flanked by the Amendments to one side & the Bill of Rights flanking the other side, both blotted & X'ed all over. Across from that on the other side will be cased & framed the little school book that George was reading while the Twin Towers burned. It'll be opened to the one page it took him 7 minutes to read. The building layout guide will be an exact copy of the mid-east roadmap to peace & the emergency exits will be marked & lighted by big UN signs. The floor of the main hall will all be done with Alaskan Spruce & will be called the Conservation Room. Construction will began January of 2009 & the day will be known & celebrated as the first Lame Duck Holiday

The great thing about presidential libraries is that they are generally done after the president leaves office . . . priceless.

The only thing funnier is a sign that one drives by on the GW parkway in Northern Virginia that reads "George Bush Center of Intellegence, Next Exit"???

Hmmmmmmm??? That is one exit that this ol' hillbilly sho nuff ain't gonna take... Probably drops of into a bottomless pit...

If that link material is factual then the House of Bush and Saud has become a real corrupt House of Cards and subject to a fall:

House of Cards is a pastime involving stacking playing cards on top of each other, risky because they can fall over ...

George W. Bush and libraries are two concepts that one does not encounter very often in the same sentence.

Actually, the George W. Bush library will be larger than Clinton's.

That's because Bill and Hillary shredded all their interesting papers.

Not true, pdq! Many of them fell behind a dresser and will be rediscovered at an appropriate time.

I wonder if they will have the GW/Laura Bush divorce papers on display...the ones that name Condi Rice as a correspondent...you know,the ones that "News of the World" or "The Globe" has been going on about.....

Laura is a librarian. Why not let her play with $500 million? Its her reward for putting up with such an asshole.

Ya know, dianavan, I'd like Laura to play with that money. At least ONE librarian in the country wouldn't have budget worries!

No way, dianavan and Rapaire. You're talking about the librarian who married Dumbya -- obviously she's not as intelligent as people give her credit for.

No matter what they call the building, it will definitely be a Prezzidenshull LIE-berry.

They do say that many 'intelligent' people marry someone thinking they could help. Ya think?

That said, I'm no great admirer of Laura Bush.

Whoever said a person had to be intelligent to be a librarian?

Sorry Rapaire, I "juss" could not pass that up! Just kidding.

I have a great deal of respect for librarians, but definitely not Laura Bush (who took an innocent life in a traffic accident and never paid for it in any way other than: Oh I don't like to talk about that, and I am sorry, etc.).

Good point Barry
