Tough Times In The BFEE...Library Donations Are Down...
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/02/16/bush-fundraising-library/

U.S. News reports that the “crumbling economy” has “slowed” President Bush’s drive to raise $500 million for his presidential library at Southern Methodist University. One Bush friend acknowledged, “It’s a bad environment.” U.S News reports that “Bush is taking no chances: He’s making donor calls himself, and even his dad, the 41st president, is helping out, as are former aides like Karl Rove. In the future, say associates, look for Bush to host fundraising events in order to meet a goal of completing construction in 2013. But for now, ‘he’s laying low,’ says one.”

So it'll take until 2013 for junior to finish coloring the book? (ht the late U. Utah Phillips)

1. Uh, I'd love to see it NEVER built..
While the Chimp is indicted, impeached (from the priveleges of the ex-presidents rights), extradited to the Hague and imprisoned there for the rest of his pathetic life.

3. I'd Donate Books For The Library At The Hague...
...give junior stuff to read while he's waiting trial. Such as Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot.

:rofl:

5. Sounds like it may suffer the same fate as the "Anti-Clinton Library"
Remember that? They had blueprints drawn up and everything! :eyes:
