Bush Should Be Deposed In Lawsuit Over Presidential Library, Judge Rules

DALLAS — A judge has ruled that former President George W. Bush should be deposed in a lawsuit challenging the site of his proposed presidential library.

Bush's attorneys were working Friday on an appeal that would trigger an immediate stay of state District Judge Martin Hoffman's ruling.

The library is to be built on the Southern Methodist University campus. Two former condominium owners are suing, claiming SMU bullied them into selling their property without disclosing plans for it.

Attorneys for the property owners want to know whether SMU officials told Bush of their plans.

The plaintiffs have obtained statements from top SMU officials and former White House counsel Harriet Miers, who answered questions under oath for hours.

BUSH THE POET

I wrote this poem based entirely on actual quotes from George W. Bush.

Make the Pie Higher

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen
and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked:
“is our children learning”?
Will the highways of the internet
become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish
can coexist.

Families is where our nation finds hope
Where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!

Would the Bush library fit in a prison cell?

I hate even reading anything about Bush. I wish he was gone far far away.

There should be a national petition to prosecute the BUSH ADMINISTRATION. How would one get this started.

So Bush stole your property. Guess what Bush stole from Texas Retired Teacher's?
44 million dollars. He is good at getting other people to do his dirty work when it comes
to property. Of course he had nothing to do with it , his people did it....he says, that is what
I would say too. But no matter who did it, Bush got the money for it. He bought a building
in downtown Austin at a 44 million dollar loss to Texas Teachers, and it was never offered
to anyone else for sale. Just Bush... he wanted it and had the political power to take it. And he did.
If you find a way to get some of it back, tell your lawyers to see about the teachers next.

Yha'll, sure, right. And you think this clown would tell the truth! He hasn't got a clue how to do that.

This Shrine to Unconstitutional Dogma should not be built. If it is built, the first $3 trillion raised for its construction should go to repay the U. S. Treasury for Bush's Excellent Iraq Adventure. And there should be portraits inside on every wall throughout the building of all the servicemen who died for this unnecessary war.

Presidential recklessness causing the deaths of thousands of Americans cannot go unpunished, not if this country ever want to be viewed again as "an empire of laws, and not of men."

No one ever mention the "Gold Mines" remember President #41 and what he did?

[DaveyDavey]

Never heard of it. Penny-cash anyway, and OT.

[Okieborn]

Tent Cities are growing more prominent across this Great Nation and Bush is living in complete comfort !!

Hmmm! Thanks George !!

Bushville, coming soon to an overpass near you.

Meanwhile, the Bush family sleeps snug as a bug and wealthy in their mansions.

A George W. Bush library is an oxymoron.

[dave1111]

How much space do they need? a phone booth should do.

[weatherwaxx]

Never mind deposing - indict him for war crimes. Those memos leave NO doubt.

[LemonMeringue]

Why are they building a library for an ex president who is barely literate?

[weatherwaxx]

It's very small. One shelf, with "My Pet Goat" on it.

So he can read about the Constitution also, the laws of the United States.
