It's Not "the Moocher Class" If You're a Rich Conservative

The George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in Texas has been handed over to U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. ... The George W. Bush Foundation raised the money to build the center. The foundation donated the library and museum portion of the center to the National Archives, which provides access to presidential records, documents, historical materials and artifacts over time.

So the Federal government gets stuck with maintaining the Dubya Memorial Shrine for perpetuity? This from the side of the aisle that decries government involvement in almost everything?

I suppose there is a countervailing argument: That with professional archivists and historians running things, that Bush and his lackeys will lose control of their cover up, in the same way that Nixon did.

Still, the point should be made repeatedly that for all of the conservatives' disdain for government, Bush was a sucker on the governmental teat for decades. The Texas Rangers, like most other major-league sports teams, had no qualms about sucking down public money and power. Then Dubya jumped and spent fourteen years working government jobs and living in subsidized housing. Since he was retired at the point of the 22nd Amendment, he's continued to suck down government money, spending $400,000 a year on office rent and $85,000 on telephone costs.

Hard to know what he does with all of that office space and such. Chimpy isn't exactly big on doing charitable work, unlike Pope Jimmy (whose total expenses are equivalent to what the Former Tsar of the Baboons spends on office rent and stamps) or even Bubba Clinton, who is very involved in global charitable matters (almost like Bill Gates, but with presidential prestige and without Gates's checkbook).

As far as I can tell, C-Minus Augustus spends most of his time trying to avoid being arrested for crimes against humanity. So we're spending $1,300,000 to fuel Bush's evasion of the War Crimes Tribunal?
