 Brave Front   

Former President George W. Bush tells the Dallas Morning News that Bush Library donors want to remain secret. But he generously invites the paper to ask these unknown soldiers of the Bush Revolution how come.

If they can be found out. The ex president refuses to look into their hearts, but invites the paper to take a leap:

“as far as I’m concerned, I want to honor the desires of the donors. You have to ask donors why they don’t want their names disclosed, but there’s a lot who don’t.“  

Congress may force the issue. A Bill passed the House last session to force donor disclosure, and the Senate may act on it soon

 Behind Every Great’s Library Is A Crime?

George W. Bush’s possible testimony in a land dispute over the future “Bush Center” at Southern Methodist University has the guys suing SMU giddy with excitement. Their lawsuit claims condo owners  were ripped off by SMU because word of the Bush Presidential Library’s coming was withheld.  The former condo owners have gotten a Dallas judge to order the ex president’s testimony on a 2002 meeting where the prospective library began to take shape.

Bush’s lawyers say they will appeal, and SMU says there is nothing to see here.  But plaintiff Gary Vodicka told the Texas lawyer blog that vagueness and memory loss by former White House counsel and failed Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers persuaded the judge that only Bush can bring light onto the darkness.

“Bush’s friends and advisers, by trying to protect him in their depositions, set him up for his deposition“

Larry Friedman represents another party to the suit, and he hears History’ footsteps,  destiny’s drumbeat, or something.

SMU’s president thought the Bush Library would somehow expunge the stain of Kennedy’s assassination from Dallas. But Friedman says the suit is huge, that the judge’s order is..

“the most important historic event in Dallas since the JFK assassination.“

Stain Removal Resistant 

 

 

Gas Goes South 

Not content with sparking America’s new tea-bagging sensation, CNBC Loser Laureate Rick Santelli takes his angry prophecy to Texas next week, speaking at the George H. W. Bush Library’s storied “Economic Leadership Forum.”

The Bush Library has apparently recovered from Chuck Norris’s stirring “McLane Leadership in Business Award” visit.

Coming Soon!  

The George W. Bush Presidential Library of the future promises it will explore “A Time Of Great Consequence,” and every day we learn a little more about the joy Bush stored up for us.

   

Today’s delight is a Boston Globe report that while Bush was frustrated in his mad dream of sinking your Social Security money into the stock market, he did manage to destroy one big pile of cash.

We now know that the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, the shaky entity standing behind your pension, bet the farm last year on the stock market. The losses are still coming in, just as a new round of pension plans collapse into the PBGC’s withered arms.

A Stretch 

The Houston Press’s Richard Connelly directs our gaze to the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library, where the Living Legend ex-president prepares to honor one of our nation’s heroes.

Bush is to present the super-swanky “McLane Leadership in Business Award” to the ever rugged Chuck Norris.

Just what contributions  Mr. Norris made to commerce is unclear in the press release, but he has recently floated his possible candidacy for “President of Texas.”

And who needs an excuse to slap up an Invasion USA poster, with the chopper-menaced* Capitol Dome! *Not seen in actual film!
