Here's Some Funny Stuff

Truth was never told DURING Bush's reign of error, why should it be told after? This is rich.


Thomas M. DeFrank writes in the New York Daily News:
"President Bush and his truest believers are about to launch their final
campaign - an eye-popping, half-billion-dollar drive for the Bush presidential
library.


"Eager to begin refurbishing his tattered legacy, the President
hopes to raise $500 million to build his library and a think tank at Southern
Methodist University in Dallas. . . .


"The half-billion target is double what Bush raised for his 2004 reelection and dwarfs the funding of other presidential libraries. But Bush partisans are determined to have a massive pile of endowment cash to spread the gospel of a presidency that for now gets poor marks from many scholars and a majority of Americans.


"The legacy-polishing centerpiece is an institute, which several Bush insiders called the Institute for Democracy. Patterned after Stanford University's Hoover Institution, Bush's institute will hire conservative scholars and 'give them money to write papers and books favorable to the President's policies,' one Bush insider said."

The George Bush presidency and a think tank. What do those two have in common?

Nothing.

As Atrios likes to say, this has been simple answers to simple questions
