Why is the worst president in history getting the biggest, most expenisve presidential library?

[npincus]

Just asking.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

1. Because he also has the biggest ego in history.

[hisownpetard]

2. He's getting the most biggest liberry to show that our children is learning.

Any other questions?

[leftofcool]

6. Best line of the day!

[erpowers]

3. Connected To Rich People

I would guess that it is because he is connected to a great deal of extremely rich people. In addtion, as someone else said he possbily has the biggest ego.

[Supersedeas]

39. because his tuxedo (black tie) base knows him as The best crony enabler EVER

[newmajority]

4. Seems a bit excessive just to house two books.

My Pet Goat


And that Lynn Cheney propaganda for kids book that he pretended to read....
UPSIDE DOWN!!

[npincus]

9. I'm guessing that the number of SMU applicants has gone down.

NOT kidding. I'd love to know whether or not that is the case. Believe it or not, my nephew is planning to go to grad school there! (He's still in High School... when I told him that it was the future site of Chimpy's LIEberry, he said "Ewww, you're kidding.".

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. He needs something to feel "relevant". And he has to show up his daddy and Clinton. IOW, this

feeds his self inflated ego, BIG TIME!

[no_hypocrisy]

7. It's really isn't a library. It's a fascist thinktank.

[katsy]

17. We have a winner.

:thumbsup:

To historians and the majority of Americans this pig may be the worst president, but to fascists he is a dream come true.

[hisownpetard]

20. Sorry, but the words "thinktank" and "Bush" cannot be placed on the same page.

[dbonds]

24. He has used those words a lot...

"I think I'm really tanked, <dumb laugh>, pass me another beer"

[hisownpetard]

33. Heh heh.

:toast:

[jmowreader]

71. Winston Smith has to get work SOMEWHERE

The purpose of the George W. Bush Institute is to recast Bush's failed presidency and his even more failed life as a complete success. This falls under the heading of "making chicken salad out of chicken shit."

[ReadTomPaine]

46. Bingo. These foundations are invaluable to the GOP's infrastructure and generational resilience

They are also excellent conduits for the coordination of government and corporate joint interests... a lot of money and business flow through these institutions and their related subsidiaries.

[cynatnite]

8. The bigger the library, the smaller the....

brain

[Solly Mack]

10. Because you never have enough room for all the bullshit

so you start big and just keep adding wings

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. Pop Up Books Are At LEAST Three Times Thicker Than Regular Books...

[npincus]

12. ROFLMAO

good one! :rofl:

[hisownpetard]

21. Good point, OMC!

[lumberjack_jeff]

13. Because monuments are more expensive than books.

"Books? Meh, who needs 'em.

I want me a legacy.

... and offices for conservative think tanks."

[tanyev]

14. It's hard work making nothing look like something.

[Fox Mulder]

15. Because he's making up for the lack of genitalia.

You know what they say, the bigger the truck (or in this case, library), the smaller the...you know the rest.

[lame54]

16. I think it's going to be a museum/jail cell - That will take a lot of land

[givemebackmycountry]

18. Because the "Wing Of Torture" and "Hall of Broken Laws" require a lot of room...

And we're not even discussing the "Constitution is just a piece of paper" exhibit.
And let's not forget the "Presidential Primate Gift shop" where you can buy a little stuffed monkey.

Or, maybe it just because he's got a little tiny wiener.

[hatrack]

19. Because in the absence of any books or papers of interest to historians . . .

The only thing left to fill the void is a heapin' helpin' of Speer-esque architecture.

[npincus]

22. das lie-berry ess fabulous!

[MiniMe]

23. Because he is from Texas, haven' you heard? Everything is bigger in Texas

Especially the assholes.

[niyad]

44. except he was born in CT

[HughBeaumont]

25. Why'd the second Worst President get an airport and a Trade building named after him?

In a very liberal city, no less?

Funny; the only time Reagone thought of airports was to fire their striking workers, and the only trade he thought was great was the kind that only benefitted the wealthy of our nation.

Why do Americans worship Republicans and see them as great men? Is it any wonder the world sees us as an overall nation of dumbshits?

[cemaphonic]

36. Well, strictly speaking, National isn't in DC

It's in Arlington VA - and everyone in the area still calls it National.

[Lasher]

57. That really pissed me off.

National was already named after a president, then they named it after Saint Ronnie of Reagan. I still call it Washington National.

[niyad]

45. do you remember that idiot group that is working to have something in every county

in america named after ray-gun?

when the section of the highway that goes through this county was renamed the ronald reagan highway, I informed the idiot commissioners that I would never again use that section of the road.

[jmowreader]

70. They're still out there

You're referring to the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, one of Grover Norquist's pet projects.

Have you ever visited their website? The membership of this Project reads like a Who's Who of Fascist America.

[sweetpotato]

26. Compensating much?

[damntexdem]

27. To store all those coloring books?

And to decorate the My-Pet-Goat Room?

[DireStrike]

28. I love the typo in your subject

"Most ex"penis"ve indeed >=D

[npincus]

38. LOL- too late for an edit...

so it remains a tribute to the dickhead.

[pocoloco]

29. Short answer....

All those mirrors and an expensive smoke machine!

[seasat]

30. Because it's going to take a lot of people to revise history.

The project that will emerge from this library to attempt to make Shrubbie anything but a miserable failure will dwarf the revisionism necessary for Reagan. He's supported by a host of wealthy powerful companies and oil rich middle eastern countries that would like to continue his policies. The only way they can do that is with a huge propaganda drive after his term ends. The library will probably be the coordination center for that effort.

[LeftHander]

31. Security....

All that evidence needs to be kept under lock and key out of the eyes of the public and prying legal eyes...

The Bush library will be one of the largest and least accessible in history.

[RavensChick]

32. Eek!

Damn, that's one u-g-l-y mug of Dubya! If only I had a birdcage.....

I know our tax dollars somehow went to building this library, but no one I know is gonna hop on a plane down there to see it anytime soon. Even the very few Repug friends I have are'nt going either. THAT should tell this idjit president something.

[Metta]

34. Because he has the smallest penis.

And no balls. All the rest is over compensation for his life of failures and making it one someone else's coat tails.

[UTUSN]

35. Especially since he's doing his damndest to HIDE all the records!1 n/t

[GaYellowDawg]

37. Dupe.

Whoops.

[lonestarnot]

40. Maybe for a bonfire? He likes wasting money.

[Juche]

41. Define worst

If you are a millionaire or own a large company the Bush years are a rose garden.

Unless you own a bank that wsa involved in subprime mortgages, which the Bush admin worked to prevent regulation of. If so, hahaha. You tried to rip of black people, latinos and single mothers by trying to trick them into subprime loans when they qualified for better loans, now you are going bankrupt.

[bdamomma]

42. stupid a$$ man little dic-tator.

I would love to smack that smirk right off his face.

[Initech]

43. Because you need that to store all of his bullshit!

[hunter]

47. All of the urinals were being used, so he had to take the biggest stall.

He had to tip over an elderly fellow in a wheelchair to get there first, but thats what winners do. After all, he is the Presdent of 'merca, and if you get in his way there will be consquences, just ask Saddamn...

[spanone]

48. evil rulers often leave humogous statues in honor of themselves....

[moondust]

49. It's all just a show.

As has been his entire feckless career. All hat, no cattle.

[Jed Dilligan]

50. All the books have to be on-tape

so he can understand them.

[cyberpj]

51. Because he also has the wealthiest supporters.

Not to mention the biggest ego.

[LittleClarkie]

52. Everything, Ah say EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas

:D

[calico1]

53. I wonder how many times Georgie has actually

been in a library? Somehow I can't picture it.

[InkAddict]

54. Barney's blackmailing him?

This smart canine's got the goods and doesn't want just an ordinary air-conditioned dog house.

[Mind_your_head]

55. Because these neocon TURDS from Texas....always believe (wrongfully)

that "bigger is better"....and their buddies are printing out copies of "MY PET GOAT" (it's a 'classic', don't ya know? :sarcasm:) faster than you can sell 'em

OR

The dollars that this library is promised to be built with are worthless....as will be the gwb 'lie-brary'....

[alittlelark]

56. Same reason guys w/ little d(

It'll fool at least some of the people.

[Kip Humphrey]

58. Because he can't read and he has a little weenie.

[mnhtnbb]

59. To show the world what an a$$hole he is.

[usaftmo]

60. I can only imagine the

sections in there. O'Lielly, Limpballs, Crash-cart, Coultergeist...

:puke:

[npincus]

61. "Don't hate me because I'm a dumb-ass"

[Buns_of_Fire]

62. Edifice Complex?

[Stinky The Clown]

63. Because he has the biggest legion of uber rich cronies that he helped to make richer

He's not 'getting' the most expensive library ...... his buddies are building the most expensive library as a cheap, small token of their appreciation of the trillions he's given them.

Quid

Pro

Quo

[Mind_your_head]

72. Yep n/t

[Catchawave]

64. Most importantly.....

What would he put in it?

[Forrest Greene]

65. In Texas, They Say

"...the bigger the buckle, the smaller the peter."

[Bandit]

66. Remember who his base is.."The haves and the have mores"

:shrug:

[AzDar]

67. I hear it's going to double as a Saudi Embassy.

;-)

[Tripper11]

68. Ppp-up books take up more space?!?!?!

:shrug:

[The Inquisitive]

69. because it is ironic, and completely absurd

[Lorien]

73. Because it's being funded by Halliburtan and Exxon-Mobile?

:shrug:

[Canuckistanian]

74. Simple - he can afford it.

Here's one retiree who won't be eating cat food or working at Walmart.

[fascisthunter]

75. Because Like Most Phony People They Need a Big Front

Republicans invest big time in perception.... because they are a bunch of empty suits.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

76. Because you can't buy class.

[Marr]

77. Get used to it. There's going to be *a lot* of money poured into

convincing the public that W was a popular, legitimate president. I'll be surprised if he isn't one of their icons in 30 years, like that other shameless champion of the Haves and Have-Mores, Ronald Reagan.

GW Bush has epitomized their ideal government, and the big money is going to work overtime to rehabilitate his image and convince people that his shameful policies were good.
