THE PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY
From whence do the origins this, my imaginary library flow? According to my limited knowledge, probably way back in good ole Texas with the never failing satiric wit of the late and sorely missed Molly Ivins. Next, maybe, on a grimmer side, with Paul O’Neill, erstwhile Secretary of the Treasury and former C.E.O. of Alcoa. But what do I know?
A list of titles documenting and exposing the evil, scum-bag duplicity and machinations of the shameless coven known as the Bush administration, with regards to both domestic policy and the war in Iraq, surely goes on and on and on, and I will humbly accept additions and corrections to my scant and totally un-researched bibliography.
Maybe the complete list is out there, just that I have yet to come across it. The latest volume seems to be Charlie Savage’s "Takeover," which was reviewed in the NY Times a week or so ago.
One thing that struck me about the review (and, only by inference, the book) was that there was no mention of the earliest and one of the most intellectually insulting ploys in this so called Takeover: Dick Cheney’s appointment as "the committee" entrusted to vet and put forward the names of potential Republican Vice-Presidential candidates.
In a single stroke of unrepentant and unmitigated chutzpah, Mr. “Other Priorities” Cheney dubbed himself the one and only possible choice for the Exalted Vice-Poobah of his long planned and lusted for Unitary Executive. From there, all it took was the unholy coronation of George W. Bush by the Supreme Court of the United States of America to initiate Dick. “Mr. 5 Deferments” Cheney’s wildest wet dreams of usurpation of the Constitution, the Congress and the federal judicial system!
Anyhow, to my mind’s eye the Bush-Bashing bookshelf in this particular Presidential Library, appears very, very long indeed and straining heroically under the weight, not only of paper, ink, Davey board, glue and book cloth, but under limitless masses of unimpeachable evidence of impeachable malfeasance.
Who will tally up a comprehensive bibliographic "BUSH" list? Perhaps it’s already out there. Show it to me! I know that I would immediately do my part and throw in a couple of bucks towards acquiring the entire collection, crating it up and dumping it directly on the Grand Matriarch Barbara Bush’s doorstep, so that she might slowly and painfully digest and contemplate what a complete, lying little bastard she’d
raised! Any other volunteers?
