"I would like to leave behind a legacy or a think tank, a place for people to talk about freedom and liberty, and the de Tocqueville model, what de Tocqueville saw in America," Mr. Bush told Mr. Schieffer. "I would like for there to be a place where young scholars come and write and think and articulate and opine and teach."

1. As in: Wasn't it nice, children, that once upon a time...

we had freedom and liberty in America?

[long_green]

2. He did say "write," "think," and "teach"

but he didn't say "books" or "read" as a part of his library.
That's nitpicking, we are talking about a presidential library, but boy, how revealing of him to use the phrase "think tank."

[paparush]

6. Nor did he say Practice

[Crankie Avalon]

3. 1. Who told him about de Tocqueville...

2. Didn't they tell him de Tocqueville was a "Frenchie"?

4. In the meantime you have to do a Maxwell Smart

imitation to get to his papers, in fifty years or so, give or take a few decades after he bites the big one.
That is if we're still here, and the morloks have'nt drug us beneath the surface for their evening meal.

5. Something about proximity to books

makes him extra loopy. Remember how he spent his day at the Clinton Library, scoping out the Arkansas River for attack subs?

7. There wuz a lotta extra "ands" in that sentence he made...nit picking

Worse: His library is gonna be kind skimpy...Hardly any good news shit to put in it...

[charlie]

9. Maybe they can build him a wing

on Dick Nixon's library, a videogame room, or cocktail lounge, or something.

[bluedeminredstate]

10. And...and...and...

That's not nitpicking. He's so limited that he can't string together a coherent sentence without sounding like a pre-schooler reciting what he did at Mom's Morning Out that day.

[opihimoimoi]

11. 5 "ands" is rare these days....even in kindergarten...gatta reach down to

20 to 30 months old level....

Bush seems to have been slow from the start...never did get the hang of learnin.... now, he is Preznent...and an example of what one would look like if ya don't Learn...

A serious JOKE for all the World to Laugh at your ASS...das whot....a friggem JOKE.

Worse, he is the Barstool(sorry stools) Preznent... always making small jokes, friendly nick names for the patrons, hugs and arms around the shoulders, etc...all the charactoristics of the Drunk in the same Bar...night after night...with the same stories...the same jokes, the same shit.....ARGGGGHGHHHHH

20. May I start teaching? George, you need to fix your run-on sentences! n/t

[Viva_La_Revolution]

8. "Shhhhhh!" Quiet talk in the library!

(In my best Librarian voice.)

At least that's been the rule in every library I've ever been in. :eyes:

[Old and In the Way]

12. I imagine he'll have plenty of freedom video games in his

"library".

13. Bush Presidential Library - Architectual drawing - courtesy GW Bush...

14. He actually said deTocqueville twice? He must have been practicing

it for a week and now that he thinks he has mastered it he is going to say it every chance he gets.

[lumpy]

18. A new Bush role : The Intellectual.

Bush takes Oklahoma State honors seriously. Bush now endowed with exceptional knowledge. A well rounded Man for All Seasons. Commander-in-Chief of War, Hot Shot Carrier Pilot, Hard Working Brush Clearer, House Building Nail Pounder, Athletic Biker, World Diplomat, Patter of Small Children and Bald Heads, Hard Working Decider and Protector from Terra. A New Father of His Country.

[SoCalDem]

15. Why..."...to talk about freedom and liberty..."?

Because by the time it's built and up & running, talk will be the only connection we will have left.. People standing around talking about the "olden days" when we used to HAVE them..

[Crankie Avalon]

16. "I would like for there to be a place where young scholars come..."

...why is he so particular about young scholars rather than scholars of all ages?

"Mah liberry's gonna have crayons and fingerpaints fur the young scholars and everything!"

17. library and b*sh do not belong in the

same sentence. I thought his 'library' was going 2 B a travel trailer parked behind hw's library.

[maxsolomon]

19. as an architect, i cannot wait to see this legacy building

the George W. Bush Think Tank is a completely hilarious concept.

i would be willing to opine & articulate there, but they wouldn't like what i have to say much.
