Bush Library Plans: Now With Added Notions!
Bold New Platform     Â
George W. Bush has announced exciting new plans for his Presidential Library, spraying the horizon with many, many numbered lists of intentions, notions and fanciful ideas.
Just what will his legacy be all about?
The Bush Library will continue Bush’s on-going worldwide effort to devalue words by grasping them tightly to himself:
Join The Freedom Registry for only $50!
In the spirit of the age, the Bush Library hopes to mobilize the sinister power of social networks through its Member Advocates. But if the roaring success of the Bush administration alumni blog is an indicator, Face-book will remain fairly Bush-free.
The Bush Library web site is doing its part to erase the Kennedy assassination stain from local consciousness, offering a map of “Dallas Landmarks” with Dealey Plaza unmarked.
Not From Around Here?
We’ll be seeing a lot more of Bush’s attempts to tie himself to great “dissidents,” hiring a guy from Columbia whose “One Million Voices Against FARC” Face-book page harnesses the power of the web against the plucky jungle fighters by presenting seven [7] photos, one of Cheney and two of them of Bush.
Something called ” The Freedom Collection of the Bush Institute’s Oral History Project” looms, in which “the Institute will bring together dissidents who are participating in the Freedom House oral history project. They will share their experiences and promote best practices.”
Not to be confused with the just announced “George W. Bush Oral History Project,” by the University of Virginia’s Miller Center.
 Friendly Ghosts
What sort of probing questions might the Miller-narrians ask?
Lets take a loving look back at the Reagan Administration, the Millerists’ hard hitting interview with Caspar Weinberger.
What did they chat about?
The interviewer glides lightly over Iran-Contra, and asks Weinberger no questions about hiding documents in the Library of Congress, lying about it to the Special Prosecuter, his indictment, or his pardon by George H.W.Bush on eve of trial.
Lame or not, the Miller Center best get going, given some Bush administration figures shall we say slippery memories.
