No joke! Bush wants to build a $500 million shrine to his disastrous Presidency!!!!
Will there be a Heckuva Job Memorial Wing saluting W's sterling political appointments? A Hurricane Katrina Photo Gallery, with each image housed in its own airplane window frame? An exact recreation of Dick Cheney's secure undisclosed location (try to step inside and a recording of the Veep tells you to "Go fuck yourself!")?

Will visitors to the Iraq War Wing be handed rose-colored glasses before entering and having flowers thrown at their feet? Or will they don blinders as they stagger forward, sinking deeper into a man-made quagmire?

Will there be exhibits on waterboarding, illegal wiretapping, and the quaintness of the Geneva Conventions? A room devoted to the nobility and greatness of the Hanging Chad? A holographic image of Osama bin Laden (try and grab him and he slips right through your hands)? The Abu Ghraib Game Room (must be over 18 to enter)?

2. If that's what it takes for Americans to never forget this disaster and
the destruction our country and national ideals went through under his Presidency - then I'll donate to the cause. Sort of similar to the Holocaust memorial - that we should never forget.

8. $200 million will fund fusion research. Isn't that a little more important?
And when the people are scrambling to heat their homes, that statue will be pulled down just like Saddam's was.

Can we get serious about life? There's work to be done.

9. And every Veteran has their I love Me Wall
First Lieutenant bush can regale his visitors with the brave and valiant time he spent with TANG! Maybe explain how he never made O-3, that is an embarassment but we are talking about bush. And how bout the hall of lies.

10. Since all his papers will be sealed for the next zillion years,
what the heck will they put in this shrine? .....Besides "My Pet Goat"? Since he never reads, isn't this a little stupid? He should be embarrassed to even suggest that anyone would want to donate. Bet he has trouble getting the 500 mil once he is out of office. Will the special interests still try to gain favors once he is out of position to grant them?

11. Worth every penny and I'll tell you why:
They should build that and then build the Martha Washoington Monument next to it: a 500 foot hole in the ground.

'jokes' aside, it's like the cemetery at Normandy. A monument to the defeat of fascism...

13. The Bush Presidential Library...
will contain two books - My Pet Goat and the official Iraq War coloring book, with lots of red crayons. It will be titled The Bush Strategery Institute for Presidential Deciderating.

14. What an Egomaniac.
With a spending problem. Just think what an amount like that could really be used for.
It's like a slap in the face to the Have-Nots.:(

19. This will be from private donations
Let them waste their money on whatever they want.

How many illegals do you think will be hired to do the construction?

Keep asking that one until the donors' heads explode.
