Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 03:52 PM by The Night Owl
Why wait four years to start work on the Counter Bush Library? We should start now.

Exhibit 1:

7. Uhh...NO. The parsdent aint much for readin or booklearnin. We caint have
no dayyum books in this here lie-bury.

Well, maybe just one book.....My Pet Goat.

What we should have is a flat surface, a razor blade, some "talcum powder" and a straw.

Also, the entire building should be built out of empty beer cans and liquor bottles.

10. There's only one thing I'd like to see.
This:

Prominantly displayed in front of the full-sized Mission Accomplished banner. And the title card in front of it simply saying "The Big One".

11. I visualize it as a series of closets - closets where they cooked the
books, plotted thefts, looked at spying plans, closets some of them had to crawl back into because of homophobia, closets where they got into when they plotted with bin Laden and Khassogi.

12. I bet Soros or Moore would be willing to fund a Counter Bush Library.
Maybe we should seriously look into this.

16. The impeachment papers. If he is convicted of treason and war crimes
we could display his cell, or the chamber.

17. That picture speaks volumes about Bush's moral failures.
In addition, I'd like to see:

1. A dimpled or pregnant hanging chad, superimposed by a picture of William Rehnquist, with the caption "This is how Bush came to power."

2. I'd like to have a picture of someone waiting in line at the unemployment office, with the caption "Bush was a miserable failure, and the first "President" (sic) in over 70 years to preside over a net job loss."

3. I'd like to have Iraq's official flag, with the caption "George Bush made this soverign country the 51st state in America."

25. GREAT !!! I started a thread like this on another message board !!!
It's good to see that even before Dubya starts his second term, Internet web surfers are thinking about how to plan the appropriate library for our 43rd president.
His memoirs must be included:
"Choosing Rich and Influential Parents - The Secret of My Success"

28. The things I would put in there
I'd design the Counter Bush Library as two round buildings connected by a passageway. From the air, it will look like a dumbbell. There will also be a basement.

In the first building, I will put these things:

1. A set of golf clubs
2. A copy of "The Pet Goat"
3. A copy of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar"
4. A scoop of dirt from the pig farm
5. A copy of the August 6, 2001, Presidential Daily Briefing

The passageway will have two facing walls made from black stone. On the north wall will be engraved the names of all of the 9/11 victims. The south wall will bear the names of all the soldiers who died in Iraq. This will be the Hall of Shame. The soldiers who died in Afghanistan won't be here; they'll be in the second building.

In the second building, I will put these things:
1. The names of the soldiers who died in Afghanistan
2. The PATRIOT Act, completely broken out--this law works by adding one or two words to just about every other law there is. The breakout will show the reader how the US Code was changed by this act.
3. A flask of Iraqi crude oil.
4. A vial of Iraqi blood.
5. A roll of fence fabric taken from the dog kennel at Gitmo after we dismantle it.
6. A dollar that a Cuban living in Miami couldn't send to his mom in Havana.
7. A cable tie. This cable tie will represent all of the cable ties used to restrain Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib.
8. A MOAB with the filler dumped out of it.
9. The burka John Ashcroft put on the statue in the rotunda of the Justice Department.
10. The Texas Department of Corrections death warrant for Karla Faye Tucker.
11. A copy of the Guinness Book of World Records, turned to the page where Bush is listed under "most executions by a U.S. governor."
12. Transcripts of every speech Bush ever gave in which he blamed Clinton for something Bush should have fixed.
13. The articles of impeachment the GOP draws up after he becomes too much of an embarrassment even for them.
14. The rug Bush threw up on when the Senate found him guilty and referred him for criminal prosecution.
15. The rug Bush threw up on when the court found him guilty of 100,000 counts of murder in Iraq and sentenced him to death by firing squad.
16. The empty cartridge cases used in his execution.
17. Bush's gravesite, complete with a replica of the Mannekin-Pis aimed right at the headstone.
