Does Dubbya deserve a presidential library?

[wuushew]

Discuss

Even Nixon and Reagan have libraries, would such a thing prepetuate the myth of Bush or provide valuable insight so that we say to our selves "never again"?

[lazarus]

1. well

We need somewhere to put all the half-finished colouring books, don't we?

[bleedingheart]

36. hahahah....

oh that was good...

[Clete]

2. Are there are any books or writings by Bush to put in it?

:-)

[Brian Sweat]

3. What else are we going to do

with all of those coloring books?

[Blue-Jay]

4. ummm.

Would it be full of Curious George & Dick and Jane books? Seems fitting. Maybe a few pop-up books as well. Oh! And some Chick tracts!

[booksenkatz]

5. Just one book

"The Very Hungry Caterpillar."

And maybe the goat story from 9-11, too.

[cherryperry]

6. "Bushisms" definitely needs to be there.

and "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" ...

However, I do believe you all are correct that Dubya's only writings would be the scribbling in his various coloring books. Perhaps we can dig up some old porn, hmmmmmm?

[Blue-Jay]

7. We'll have enough porn

in the Clinton library! Sorry, but somebody had to say it.

/porn fan

[gratuitous]

8. Considering Chimpy's vast writings . . .

The Presidential Newspaper Box seems adequate.

[berry]

9. It's not a matter of "deserves"--he should be FORCED to deposit

every scrap of paper generated by every flunky in the WH and the cabinet. It's likely that Bush*'s own contributions *will* be useless, but I want documentation of every decision, every meeting to be placed somewhere for posterity. My choice for a library location would be a cave or bunker somewhere--nowhere nice. But should there *be* one? Oh, yes.

[never cry wolf]

14. i agree

and it will have to have a huge array of warming trays as well because every damn book has been "cooked."

[berry]

29. You're right, of course.

I've always wondered why criminals leave trails. But this ultra-secretive WH won't if it can possibly help it. Actually, that's why we probably need impeachment. Only if the whole facade breaks up publicly will there be a chance of people turning on each other and letting some of the truth out....

[PROGRESSIVE1]

10. You could put some...

blank printer paper in there!

:silly:

[artr2]

11. Only if it is a section of the prison library of the prison he is in

NT

[Blue-Jay]

15. We can only hope, artr2.

Likely, that won't be the case, however.

[KG]

12. a library seem inappropriate to honor a moron that can't read.

[opihimoimoi]

48. Hey, and add the photos of the famous MOONING in Sweden in 2000

That was precious. A Mass mooning only this Prez ever got. No other Prez ever got a mass mooning like he did; over 500 people lined up and showed their asses to him.

[Az]

13. The cost can be kept down

by limiting the library to only books he has read. Should be able to fit it into a public rest room.

[KamaAina]

16. It better be made fireproof

Remember the fire at Dan Quayle's Vice-Presidential library?

It burned both books.

Including the one he was coloring.

:evilgrin:

[PaDUer]

17. Why does he need it....

he has his pops' and he only walks around with books so people think he knows and understands reading...it's already been proven what he likes to read on 9-11 while in FL..OR, is it that he wants one built so he can hide EVERY memo while he stole the peoples' house!

[blondeatlast]

18. Only if Rover K okays it; and it will have to be Lib of Cong cataloging.

They have more cutter numbers for the "easy" books!

[PeakOil2008]

19. A library for Bush? It would be most ironic.

A library for a President who has openly and on more than one occasion admitted his aversion to reading and gaining additional knowledge? Imagine that. Why don't they just rename Camp David for him instead? As much as he and his father have "retreated" to that place during their Presidencies, it would be far more symbolic of the Bush character (i.e. cowardice, running away from problems and intense situations).

[procopia]

22. I agree

Bush library seems inappropriate. He should go for something more fitting, maybe a combination gym/fun house.

[librechik]

20. yes, as soon as he learns how to read n/t

[matt819]

21. That's very funny

For all his shortcomings, Nixon had a lengthy career in government, from the US Senate in the late 1940s through the vice presidency to the White House. Sure, he was a crook, but in his own way he was also something of a statesman; at least he could identify the Soviet Union on a map.

A library for shrub is beyond laughable.

[ozymandius]

38. Isn't there already a library?

His father's library has a janitor's closet, doesn't it?

[IndianaGreen]

23. Bush can have his library as part of the Holocaust Museum

I am convinced the wicked sob will be using tactical nukes against countries that dare stand up to him. Bush will make Hitler look like a second degree murderer!

[Howardx]

24. what? a bunch of papers nobody would be allowed to read?

n/t

[alfredo]

25. I don't think he even knows what one is.

?

[shirlden]

26. Has it been established

beyond a reasonable doubt that he can read or write ??

I would also caution that his library would need a librarian and they are not too happy with the Shrub/A$$crack Patriot Act.

I see no need to perpetuate this nightmare. Who needs a library full of lies ?? Well, guess it would be different.

:shrug:

[kskiska]

44. If he can write

can you imagine his spelling? If he spells the way he talks, this could be fun. Or will it all be cleansed by whoever cleanses the White House transcripts?

[Lefty48197]

27. I think a comic book stand will do

although I'm not sure he can handle all of the big words.

[Emillereid]

28. Does he read anything but teleprompters?

[Vitruvius]

30. How about a Dubya presidential PRISON --

in consideration of his many crimes. I don't know whether Alcatraz or the Hague would be a better location for his future residence...

[imax2268]

31. What good would a library...

be if it is full of un-finished stories...and redacted pages...?

[morningglory]

32. Does he deserve a blooming aircraft carrier

named after him? I have some little stickers made that say "Impeach the ignorant half-wit". I stick them in public restrooms that I visit. I am saving one for the airplane that he "landed" that is being enshrined in the Pensacola museum.

[wuushew]

33. In all fariness that ship is the U.S.S. George H. Bush

not that he deserves a ship named after him either.

[Boudicea]

34. That's li-berry

It will be in Uh-mare-ka, and there will be much info on nucular war.

[JohnyCanuck]

35. How about a pResidential GameBoy/Xbox museum

The freepers could bring their kids and all stand around staring in awe at the pResidential video game machines. They will undoubtly believe that this proves Dubya is head and shoulders above any other world leader. How many other world leaders will ever have their own video game museums. Take that Chirac.

[59millionmorons]

37. YES

Somewere on Sesame Street.

[billbuckhead]

39. The hungry caterpillar book Chimpy wouldn't quit reading when 9-11 occured

The hungry caterpillar book Chimpy wouldn't quit reading when 9-11 occured is one of the most important books in 'Merikan history. That and some book Rove gave him about the history of central Asia.

[davsand]

40. Is a seven year old Reader's Digest considered a book?

You know--the one that has all the vocabulary test filled in wrong and the "I'm Joe's Sphincter" article in it...

He stole it from the waiting room when he was in after the pretzel accident.

Laura

[ScotTissue]

41. NO ONE deserves a Presidential Library

NO ONE.

It is a sick indicator of the decadence of our Republic that everyone (even Gerald Ford) GETS a museum to commemorate their presidency. I would love for a President--Republican or Democrat--to explicitly for-go this bullshit artificial "legacy" building.

[laura888]

55. good point...how are the libraries paid for?

tax dollars or private funding?

[lifeform]

42. maybe a Residential Library

and that's a big maybe.

[Jack Rabbit]

43. Nixon and Reagan won elections

Even Ford went through a normal constitutional process.

Therefore, they are all deserving.

The Frat Boy? Well, he isn't president.

[MidwestMomma]

45. Maybe a Book Mobile

nt

[MrPrax]

46. See Spot Run!! First Editon!!

and nearly 30 years of TV Guides where the crossword puzzles are done in pencil and are most wrong...
heh

[opihimoimoi]

47. Don't forget the bag of pretzels and the famous killer couch.

and the tissue papper from the flight suit.

[BiggJawn]

49. Only if he supplies the crayons...

and the finger paint...

Does Bush even know what a book IS?

Since Lt. Col. Ollie North, USMC (disgrace to the Corp) will be getting his "private" papers together, it won't need to be very big. Ashes compact very nicely.

[Fovea]

50. Bush deserves a two holer

For his presidential papers.
But I think a presidential coffee table will suffice for the things he doesnt shred.

[pstokely]

51. why not open a counter gipper or a counter* library

will people actually go to the Counter Clinton Library?

[zekeson]

52. His will be the first truly multi-media

library. It will house all those gnarly video games that he is playing instead of doing the nations business. He will get his freakin' library, but it will be as soul numbing and vacuous as his own appearance. There will be nothing to put in it as Rove and Cheney, the real execs, are leaving no paper trail.

edit, speling, typo

[blondeatlast]

53. Seriously though, his papers and such NEED to be part of the

public record.

I have a problem with Presidential libraries in general. But every speech, every press conference, every Cabinet meeting, etc. should be archived in the LoC.

You know history textbooks will skim over Iraq and bushit's repuditation of the UN.

[spanone]

54. Bush deserves jail time

[Mari333]

56. A jail cell

"THERES NOTHING IN HERE"

[MurrayDelph]

57. Yes, but...

it should be a PRISON library!
