Methodist Church Committee To Issue Resolution Urging Bush Library To Protect ‘Integrity’ Of SMU
Last May at the United Methodist Church’s (UMC) Quadrennial General Conference, the UMC’s governing body, voted overwhelmingly — 844 to 20 — to refer a petition to its South Central Jurisdiction. The petition urged the rejection of a partisan “think tank” at George W. Bush’s presidential library, which is set to be housed at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
The think tank has received significant criticism from SMU faculty, Methodist ministers, and the public because it will sponsor programs designed to “promote the vision of the president” and “celebrate” Bush’s presidency.
Despite a recent public relations campaign launched by some Methodist ministers to highlight the partisan nature of the library, the South Central Jurisdiction voted yesterday to dismiss the petition that would block the library from coming to SMU. Though committee members said legal agreements to house the institute at SMU “tied” their hands, they offered a resolution instead that is interpreted as a rebuke to the Bush institute:
Instead, [the committee] approved a resolution saying it expects the institute to protect SMU’s “integrity,” signaling that committee members don’t want the institute’s work to affect SMU’s academic independence.
That resolution will be presented to the full conference today.
Members of the committee said their hands were mostly tied because SMU has signed a detailed legal agreement with the foundation committing itself to the three-part complex, which also includes a library and a museum.
Even though some supporters of the Bush library had predicted the committee vote, ministers had said they “will not give up“:
But the opponents, who have raised $10,000 for the public relations campaign so far, are urging Methodists to keep fighting and send donations for the campaign to Rev. Bob Weathers, a former Fort Worth district superintendent. […]
“This is really about the partisan institute, which will do the most damage over time,” [Rev. Andrew J.] Weaver said. “And it’s not just an issue in Texas. Methodists have pride in their name.”
Committee member Andrew Hernandez agreed, saying “the resolution was the best we could do,” but added, “it’s not the end of it.”

Heckuva job, Dumbya!
July 17th, 2008 at 11:59 amtoo late, suckers. you’ve already made a pact with the devil; sold your souls for some filthy dictator’s lucre.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:00 pmHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
“Bush” and “Integrity” in the same sentence. Didn’t think I’d EVER see that!
July 17th, 2008 at 12:01 pmWas the inspiration for that bronze bust Carlton Heston ala “Planet of the Apes”? More like “The House of Chimpy”
July 17th, 2008 at 12:02 pmSMU going for the party school title. Sort of makes your agenda clear when it comes to things intellectual
July 17th, 2008 at 12:03 pmI suppose the church thinks that it can actually require that the GDumbya Imagineers will create a library and museum that really reflects the disaster of his presi”dunce”y.
Not likely. SMU’s credibility as an academic institution is toast.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:04 pmI think those legal obligations need to be explained more fully.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:04 pmHas the SMU signed a contract with the Bush Library and it’s ‘think-tank that allows it to establish it;s own curriculum and/or department within SMU proper?
Did SMU just look at the money for the land sale/lease instead of the fine print?
the resemblence of that
bust to bush is way off.

July 17th, 2008 at 12:06 pmI couldn’t finish the story - still laughing too much over “GW Bush” and “Think Tank” being used together.
SMU should just put the criminal Bush’s bust inside some urinal at the football stadium - I’d fly down for a game just to have the pleasure of pissing on him.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:07 pmThe commander codpiece wing will be a real attraction.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:08 pmThey should fill the entire cubic space with coffins.
Worst…..President…..Ever
July 17th, 2008 at 12:08 pmThe petition urged the rejection of a partisan “think tank” at George W. Bush’s presidential library, which is set to be housed at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
Which makes building a Bush library and think tank next door is as about as popular as a toxic waste site.

July 17th, 2008 at 12:13 pmSMU has experience with this crowd before, and they know what to expect.
A fellow named Bill Clements used to be the Chair of SMU’s Board. Clements was also a GOP heavyweight and served several terms as Governor of Texas.
Clements authorized a “slush fund” of SMU booster money to pay their football players. The NCAA balked and banned SMU from playing football for two years - a sin in Texas.
As a result of the scandal, Clements was prevented from seeking a fourth term as Texas Governor.
Clements’ political advisor/fundraiser/campaign manager? Karl Rove.
And Rove is allegedly heading up Bush’s “library” effort.
SMU had a terrible run in with these characters and “slush funds” before…. I doubt they want another go-round.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:14 pmSMU will now go below even Regent U. in its overall rankings. A 3rd tier school, for sure!
I also wonder how much this will impact their alumni donations?
July 17th, 2008 at 12:15 pmGives me an idea for a “counter” museum, The ‘Gee’ Dumbya Boosh’s Un-thinktank Center for Reality and It’s Consequences.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:15 pmThat bust is the best caricature yet of Dubya trying to look like a real he-ro. I bet he gets a chubby every time he strokes it.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:17 pmHope they get a good plate glass insurace policy for that library.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:19 pmThey cut of the arms so they couldn’t reach the library’s coke spoon display, I suppose…
July 17th, 2008 at 12:20 pmThe Bush’s really can screw up anything. SMU has always had a well respect name…not for long.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:22 pmWow, such a strongly-worded letter that did absolutely nothing. When did Methodists morph into Democratic members of Congress?
July 17th, 2008 at 12:23 pmWhat is GW wearing in that bronzed piece of him? You’d think since he bolted from the National Guard, they’d refrain from bronzing him in a military costume.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:24 pmWhadda bust of a bust.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:26 pmNow kids, while we are visiting the bush museum you will see lots of things that have since been proven to be wrong but bush gets his library and museum because he managed to fool so many people for so long and remain the president.
Pay no attention to the protesters outside who want to disparage the legacy of gw bush. They are just upset because presnint bush nearly destroyed the greatest country on the planet and wants to act like that is a good thing.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:26 pmI agree that this library will be a site for protesters for many years. What a scam! And how embarrassing for Texas and the nation!
I plan on attending the opening with my signs!!!
July 17th, 2008 at 12:26 pmWow, what a belly laugh, thank you.
SMU gave up any pretense of integrity when it agreed to host the presidential library of an international war criminal.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:27 pmDoes anyone else get the irony in a library for a President who has only read “My Pet Goat” … and didn’t even finish that?
July 17th, 2008 at 12:32 pmAn interesting concept, to promote the visions of a war criminal.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:37 pmBut, but, but, Clinton!!!!!

A merit badge for clearing brush.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:43 pmIt’s on my bucket list. If I can sneak a bucket of fish guts and pig shit into the museum I will pay my respects to the worst pResident ever.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:45 pmI object to the word “think” being used in the same sentence as “Bush”. Though “tank” is appropriate.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:51 pmI still wonder if Dubya ever had the balls to ask Yale or Harvard to host it? Maybe they reminded him that Pappy bought his sheepskins and , uhhh, they would just as soon forget the whole thing, OK?
So he had to go back to a Texas school where they speak like he tries to.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:52 pmThat bronze bust is funny. The chicken hawk wearing his “flight suit”. Too bad the coward went AWOL. Nothing like perpetuating lies.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:53 pmBush was and still is the ace.
Wearing your rainbow armband today I see!
I’m sure if you donated enough $, he’d suck your little dick too!
July 17th, 2008 at 12:54 pmDaryll,
You got it backwards; McDepends is the ace, he downed 5 aircraft. They just happened to be ours, though.
And maybe your church would like to host the ‘liberry’. Would be a fitting place for it.
July 17th, 2008 at 12:54 pmNobody likes this guy anymore. That makes me smile. And no, the bust of Bush (bust of Bush?) is not a very good likeness.

July 17th, 2008 at 12:57 pmHow are you and yours? Any summertime travel plans? I must agree that is a pretty nice bust of a boob. So I have this question regarding Mr. McCain but it is OT and in the past no one has been able to answer it. Might you be able?
Daryll! Long time no read you serial liar you. Have you been able to identify which lies are yours and which are God’s yet? Still enslaved by a myth? Still a waste of protoplasm?
July 17th, 2008 at 12:57 pm“promote the vision of the president” and “celebrate” Bush’s presidency.” = spreading bullshit regarding the Bush Presidency far and wide without regard to truth, a propagandist’s wet dream.

Nah, no vacation scheduled. Since he was evicted from Brazil, a couple countries in South America are circulating pictures of him with a “Reward: Dead or alive” as caption.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:01 pmDaryll buddy, I have another bucket of pig shit and fish guts for your church. To show the proper respect for your religion and all.
You think your Bible pages stick together now, just wait till I dip your book in my bucket.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:02 pm[The think tank] will sponsor programs designed to “promote the vision of the president” and “celebrate” Bush’s presidency.
What “vision” would that be? The one that has pushed torture as a matter of policy? Or the one that has revived gun boat diplomacy (not to mention the military occupations)?
How do you go about celebrating the man who is possibly the worst president in the history of the US?
Some people are seriously deluded…
July 17th, 2008 at 1:03 pmOMG, Daryll just turned the thread “gay” not that that’s a bad thing.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:05 pmWhat is Darryll doig doing in this thread? It’s most certainly not a “gay” thread.
Although, given Darryll’s eerie man-crush on Pres Bush, it can quickly become one…
July 17th, 2008 at 1:06 pmLet’s put the library in the Men’s room of a Pro Wrestling arena. Those rednecks LOVE him.
And we can put that bust in the men’s room as a urinal target at the DNC arena this August. Make sure everybody ’shoots straight’.
Save money on cleanup costs.

I know! He did more damage to our Navy then the North Vietnamese and NVA. Wonder how many of their medals he was awarded while a guest at the Hanoi Hilton Inn and Spa?
July 17th, 2008 at 1:11 pmInspired by Fred @ 23…
“And this children the original Constitution. As you can see it’s been severely damaged and most of it has been redacted for national security reasons. There were several copies of it made but they were all lost in an unfortunate paper-shredding accident in Dick Cheney’s office. However if you look carefully at what’s left you can see George Bush’s very own coffee-mug ring in this corner, and down here you can see a puke stain from barney–not not the purple dinosaur, mary-beth, the president’s dog and closest adviser, apart from God that is.”

Medals, he was awarded $58k a year disability. Who needs medals.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:16 pmPerhaps SMU will wake up, become Serious Methodist University, and stop fooling around before marriage. If so, they might be able to prevent becoming pregnant with Rosemary’s baby.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:16 pmIt must have been embarrassing to be the only naval aviator with 4 symbols for downed US planes (before his last ‘mishap’) and 1 US ship crippled. Maybe he will use a photo of that decorated plane with him standing beside it in his ads this fall. Or maybe the Dems could make a New Yorker cover out of it.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:16 pmInstead, [the committee] approved a resolution saying it expects the institute to protect SMU’s “integrity,” signaling that committee members don’t want the institute’s work to affect SMU’s academic independence.
A deal to house a laughable ‘library’ named after the most dishonest , unintelligible , and flat-out worst president in US history is made , and NOW you’re concerned of any perception , real or perceived , about the academics offered at SMU and that they will be tied into the godawful Chimpy presidency/library/think tank ?
You’re supposed to be an institution of higher learning , and this wasn’t contemplated earlier ?
When you lay down with dogs………………….
July 17th, 2008 at 1:17 pmTP. I didn’t complain (much) at all the times you have allowed the words Bush and Library to appear together - despite the ludicrousness of the connection.
But now you are linking Bush Library and Integrity together ? Come on now !

OK, now you’re overdoing it — the secret to great parody is that there should always be at least a thread of believability in it. Claiming that Bush is (or has ever been ) an ace exceeds those parameters.

Then failed to show up for flight physicals in Alabama.

That’s funny. because McCain has a new fund-raising gimmick on his website where for just $25 dollars you are given special access to download and print-out a special McCain emblazoned paper aeroplane!
I AM NOT KIDDING!
BUT EVEN BETTER you also get to ‘join’ the “McCain’s Aces” ’squadron’ of donors!
BUT WAIT! THERE”S MORE!
As a ‘McCain Ace’ you will receive, via your own personal e-mail, a genuine authentic McCain Ace graphic that you can use almost anywhere! You don’t even have to right-click on the actual graphic right there on the web page and select
save-as‘ without paying $25 dollars for the privilege!!!
This gorgeous graphic features the words McCain Ace in bold against a bright blue background and a formation of five jet fighters streaking ‘overhead’.
But mos exciting of all, not only are the jet fighters depicted nothing like the trainers and bombers McCain kept crashing, the are ALSO Russian Mig-29 ‘Fulcrums’!!!

WOW!! It is so good to see another fan. I cried like a baby when I read that she died. I took her book ‘Bushwhacked’ on a trip to Costa Rica and stayed up all night reading it, and almost missed my next day meeting!
Here is one of my favorite quotes of hers. (Notice the date it was written, but still SOOO appropriate today!):
July 17th, 2008 at 1:37 pmIt’s only half in jest misshusseinmolly, I definitely will visit the library to pay my due respects. I am not quite crude enough (or daring enough) to do the job proper.
Molly Ivins is sorely missed. She knew Shrub better than anyone, and had the knack to capture the disgust and loathing we all feel for the punk.
You do a great job of carrying her name. Keep it up!
July 17th, 2008 at 1:38 pmI’ll give 10 to 1 odds that Chimpy’s ridiculous Commandeer Codpiece outfit will be brazenly housed in a climate-controlled glass case in the front hall of this laughable library………

July 17th, 2008 at 1:40 pmAs a young adult I visited several Nazi museums, like at Dachau, and wherever there was a picture of Hitler the eyes had been gouged out. These people scratched through 1/2 inch of plexiglass to get to his eyes.
I am not comparing Bush to Hitler (for one thing Hitler was smarter, more articulate and a better leader) but I guarantee you that the Boy George Museum of Horrors had better have some damn good security.

The George W. Bush Presidential Library is now in the planning stages.
The Library will include:
July 17th, 2008 at 2:01 pm- 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.
- 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 Supreme Court’s 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, magic8-ball, Ouija board, dice, coins, and straws.
- The museum will also have an electron microscope to help you locate the President’s accomplishments.
This museum will rival the Barbie Museum (Klaus, that is) for sheer hilarity.

From http://www.georgewbush.org/ :
Welcome to the future home of the officious George W. Bush Presidential Library. This patriotic website will serve as an authoritative digital archive, dedicated to preserving and celebrating the godly legacy of the most honest, peaceful, and intelligent leader in the 6,000 year history of the planet Earth.
“Godly legacy” ? “Honest” ? “Peaceful” ? And “INTELLIGENT” ?

That’s too funny. I like the headline “officious website of..”
I can’t write the rest, otherwise I will write the words President and Bush in one sentence and I can’t do that.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:29 pmI’m sorry, but that bust scares me.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:30 pmThe statue’s a bust, just like his reign of terror.
July 17th, 2008 at 2:45 pmlet me get this straight…the bush library is going to house a “think tank”? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, the pillock has NEVER had a coherent thought in his life. Now, there’s a real honor…imagine saying “i work for a think tank housed in the george w bush library”. your friends would laugh you out of the room.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:13 pmI think the library needs something for the little tykes. Maybe a slide into a giant mound of shredded documents? Or just a ball pit full of shredded copies of the Constitution?
Then, if the kiddies find a piece of paper with the complete word “freedom”, the Secret Service can interrogate them over ice cream.

Yeah. Think tank. As in: “No one can be that stupid. I think he’s tanked“.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:18 pmThis is the most frightening and disheartening idea imaginable to me right now. Just when these lying, murdering thieves ought to be sent to the gulag for their crimes against humanity and their every law, policy, war, and Supreme Court appointment un-done, they are hiring apologists to create good press and perpetuate their larcenous mismanagement of the nation’s wealth and trust.
July 17th, 2008 at 5:35 pmThey will need armed guards, motion detectors, dogs, and searchlights as protection from the thousands of citizens who will do whatever they can to deface that structure and who it represents.
University regents and alumni might not be happy about that.
Is that supposed to be Bush in bronze? I think I saw that face in a futuristic science fiction movie.
July 17th, 2008 at 6:43 pmIf that bust is displayed prominently, look for it to wear a propeller beanie on special occasions.
Daryll says Bush is the ACE????? Are you INSANE? The worst president in American history? Maybe the fool card in a tarot deck. Bush lies like most people breathe is more incompetent on a good day than Heckovajob Brownie and at BEST has the skillset necessary to be a frytender at Burger King if he is LUCKY. Your statement says all we need to know about your complete disconnect from reality.
July 17th, 2008 at 7:03 pmI thought Methodists tried to follow the teachings of Jesus. Instead they are willing to honor EVIL.
July 17th, 2008 at 9:01 pmI never thought I see the name “Bush” and the word “library” in the same sentence.
