Presidential Egos Need Big Libraries

Rather than the usual political diatribe, I thought I'd take a stab at something fun. For those of you who don't know, SMU is in the market to host the GWB presidential library.
Whether one supports or opposes the Bush policies, there is no question that they have been momentous for the country and the world. Precisely because of the controversial nature of this presidency, the question of how George W. Bush made his decisions begs for scholarly research and discourse. The library will be a gold mine for scholars, and its location on a university campus symbolizes the need for study.
Really? In the past several years since the W, Rove and Co were selected to lead our country, the egos have become immeasurable, for sure. I have several questions for the blogisphere. Call this

Windspike's Weekend Presidential Bibliotheca Query:

  1. How big should the GWB library be?

  2. Will GW's Ego fit through the front door or will it need an airplane hanger door?

  3. What will be contained in the library?

  4. If you were to study the contents, what will be your most shocking discovery?

"MOMENTOUS"????! That leaves me aghast, but not speechless. Sure, momentous, like an enormous natural disaster, only Bush & co. are a 100% manmade disaster.
That "libary" should be made into something akin to the WWII Holocaust memorial sites, which stand as a reminder to visitors about the heinous portion of human history they represent, and that we must never forget, lest we repeat it.

Put the whole damn thing in a toilet bowl and flush fast!

Actually Isabelita's idea is excellent.

It would the smaller than my closet. His ego wouldn't be invited (even to the inauguration). It would contain one piece of paper saying that everything is classified for "national security". And the most shocking discovery would that some college, any college accepted it on their premises.
