A Little Bit Of Justice

The Deep Recession (aka Depession) that George W. Bush caused is causing George W. Bush some problems when it comes to raising money for his presidential library:

Former President George W. Bush is preparing for one final struggle against the odds: raising $300 million for a presidential library, museum and policy institute at a time when dollars are tight and skepticism about his presidency runs high.

The former president and first lady have already begun holding small private dinners to persuade wealthy friends to invest in a monument and incubator based on the values and events of his presidency. By this fall, he’ll be armed with architect’s renderings and will hold travel around the country to meet with groups and build support for the complex on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas. * * *

I have no doubt that Bush will be able to raise the funds. Even though a lot of radical right wing extremists tried to distance themselves from Bush in the last couple of years, the 43rd President was a dream come true for those bastards -- and a nightmare for the rest of the country -- so they'll do whatever it takes to rehabilitate him. The last thing they need is for Bush to come up short on the fund-raising for his presidential library.

"If I had only followed CNBC's advice, I'd have a million dollars today . . . provided I had started with a hundred million dollars."

-- Jon Stewart last night, attacking CNBC for all the shitty investment advice it gave during the run-up to the Depression.

UPDATE: This is funny.
