Ex-State Department official to run Bush Institute
Source: AP

DALLAS — A former State Department official under George W. Bush will lead the ex-president's think tank at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

James K. Glassman was named the executive director of the George W. Bush Institute on Thursday. Glassman was an undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs in 2008.

In a statement, Bush said he was delighted that Glassman is joining the think tank "to develop a world-class institute."

Glassman held top editing and management positions at Roll Call, Atlantic Monthly, U.S. News & World Report and New Republic.

8. They'll call it Bush's Happy Time Playhouse, Brothel and Bar.
Complete with booze, hookers, and educational coloring books.

9. He just has to be qualified as a baby sitter.
This "institute" will have nothing more than coloring books, and many copies of "My Pet Goat."

4. Just had a brilliant idea.... P for bush
I would like to visit the bush libary and pee my pants on the floor.

Now I know that's a bit childish, but it will be MY PROTEST to the world's most pathetic puppet leader of the free world.

I'll adorn my shower sandles and an old pair of britches, and just let it go once I'm visiting a prominent place in the libary.

Oh...I realize the word is spelled libRary...it's just for the moron ex-preznit that I spell it as he pronounces it.

Pee your pants for bush movement.com....lol

10. I don't know...
The words "Bush" and "think" in the same sentence doesn't really make sense to me.

13. Yeah, me too.
But "Bush" and "tank" in the same sentence is a perfect fit.
