Recently I received an email proposing a number of named rooms for the forthcoming George W. Bush Presidential Library. They were wonderful but with so many many Bush Administration accomplishments, the library just seemed too small. Accordingly I felt the following were deserving of consideration. The Iran Room, which is still in the planning stage. --The Iraq Debacle Room, where Cheney, Rumsfield, and Wolfowitz (along with a bust of Bush) will be on permanent display. --The Corporate Room, where you go for privatization by government, obtain no-bid crony contracts, and generally just suck at the public treasury; where democracy is denied and where complete control of Congress is maintained. --The Financial Institution Room, where you go to neutralize the regulators and get a special suck at the public treasury through bailouts. --The Collusion Room, for Democrats elected to the House and Senate.
The Plutocracy Room, shorthand for the entire library. --The Legacy Room, which will remain empty except for the hope that he has not killed the Republican election hopes for a generation or two. -- The National Debt & Trade Deficit Room, which has no ceiling and where the value of the dollar shrinks to zero and our national economy really goes to hell in a hand basket. --The Afghanistan Room, which should have been the only room in the library except for his leadership. --The Emergency Room, sometimes available to those 47 million Americans without health insurance.
The original email had the following rooms:The Hurricane Katrina Room, which is still under construction. -- The Alberto Gonzales Room, where you won't be able to remember anything.-- The Texas Air National Guard Room, where you don't even have to show up. -- The Walter Reed Hospital Room, where they don't let you in.
-- The Guantanamo Bay Room, where they don't let you out. -- The Weapons of Mass Destruction Room, which no one has been able to find. --The National Debt Room, which is huge and has no ceiling; renamed above. -- The Tax Cut Room, with entry only to the wealthy. -- The Economy Room, which is in the toilet.
-- The Iraq War Room, After you complete your first tour, they make you to go back for a second, third, fourth, and sometimes fifth tour. -- The Dick Cheney Room, in the famous undisclosed location, complete with shotgun gallery. -- The Environmental Conservation Room, still empty. -- The Supremes Gift Shop, where you can buy an election. -- The Airport Men's Room, where you can meet some of your favorite Republican Senators. -- The Decider Room, complete with dart board, magic 8-ball, Ouija board, dice, coins, and straws.
How about you naming some of your own rooms in the comments? Enjoy, have fun.
