Bush library donors to be kept secret

DALLAS — Donors to the new presidential library probably will remain a mystery, according to the nonprofit foundation overseeing its fundraising.

"It's our decision not to disclose who the donors are," said Mark Langdale, president of the George W. Bush Presidential Library Foundation, citing some donors' preference to remain anonymous.

The foundation, which will oversee construction of the library, museum and public policy institute at the Southern Methodist University campus in Dallas, had raised less than $3 million when the latest tax reports were filed in August.

That's far short of its $300 million goal, but foundation officials say the fundraising will pick up significantly after Bush leaves office Jan. 20.

in support of their "boy".

That's gonna be a one-room library.
But then, how many books would it have to hold to represent the mind of GW.

...he reportedly sent in a mayonnaise jar filled with pennies.

:rofl:

I figured they were doing that to keep people from egging the front of the library.

:rofl:

Why.....out of embarrassment?

well, maybe ONE, but just one BIG donor would "be suspicious"/invite scrutiny. (as rightfully it should)

one of the long-lost (hiding beyond the limelight with tons of $$$$) Grandpa Bush's "friends" (nazi sympathizers, et al).

and her husband's finacials have to be examined.

:eyes:

(what a f*cked up world we've been forced to live in for these past eight ~ thirty (think Reagan too) ~ years) Yeesch!!!!

I wouldn't shout it from the rooftops either.

Are you 'one' of the donors? the ONLY one?? ;P

Who'd want to be humiliated in public that way?



"Hey, look--that's one of the guys who contributed to the Bush library."

"BWA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

My Pet Goat.

Look, I'm not going to name names but the donor's initials are T.H.E.B.U.S.H.F.A.M.I.L.Y.E.V.I.L.E.M.P.I.R.E.

You've got to buy the box of 128 crayons to get that shade.
