the Reagan library isn't a library at all. It's a museum for Republicans eager to embrace St. Ronnie. Bedtime for Bonzo posters, Nancy's old dresses, and more recently, the Air Force One he flew around on displayed in a gargantuan hanger where, for a fee, a photographer will snap a pic welcoming the "guest" (read "sap&quot aboard. The current "special exhibit" in the library is a bunch of Disney memorabilia - has nothing to do with Reagan at all. The fact that this edifice gets any tax dollars is an outrage.

I'll never get anywhere near either Bush's library, but I'm sure if I did I'd be overcome by the stench of bullshit filling the air.
