Kelly the Dog Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I know it's like 6 years from opening but the nation's first official presidential bookmobile should be pretty cool. I mean, really, there is no need for a whole library. It certainly will easily be big enough to give proportional-sized shrines to GW's accomplishments. It could hold all of the books that GW has actually read. It could have really cool little enclaves like "The Narrow Thinking Room" that you could walk through (well, sideways). It could just go to other places and leave them a mess and just drive away. It could have little GW bobbleheads to giant Karl Rove and Dick Cheney and Richard Pearle chucky dolls. This thing is going to be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 How about 'See Spot Run', 'Green Eggs and Ham', and 'The Three Little Pigs'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erynthered Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Bush's favorite books range from Texas history to criticism of 1960s counterculture. According to the website of the Arizona Republic, AZCentral.com, Bush's favorite books are The Raven: A Biography of Sam Houston by Marquis James (Univ. of Texas Press); Robert J. Samuelson's The Good Life and Its Discontents: The American Dream in the Age of Entitlement (Vintage), a book that delves into the modern American psyche in regards to the "American Dream"; and The Dream and the Nightmare: The Sixties' Legacy to the Underclass by Myron Magnet (Encounter), which argues that the honorable intentions of 1960s liberals produced tragic consequences by ultimately creating today's underclass.

erynthered Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Were all those books in the Oprah book club?? 122914[/snapback] I'm pretty sure Harpo wouldn't have had any of those books on her favorite list, especially the book by Myron Magnet.

stuckincincy Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 You can go to the Clinton Library and purchase a copy of his famous "Five-pound Bible". You know, the one he used to carry in and out of church. He had one with him on one Easter Sunday, and went back to the White House to get his "Lewinsky". It gave new meaning to the term, "He has Risen"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 It's gotta be better than the Clinton "DOUBLE WIDE" that opened today. What's funny is even CBS news was calling it that this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
