ROTFLMAO: Dallas paper: Chimp to "add a valuable intellectual dimension to SMU and Dallas"

[rainbow4321]

And so it begins...our local right wing rag sticking their collective heads up chimp's ass. Given that Dallas and the county went a darker blue in Nov 2008, can't wait to see how readers respond to their line of bullshit.

Figuring into all of this work will be the new Bush presidential library and policy center at Southern Methodist University. Laura Bush already has taken a lead role in planning and developing the facility. Critics have fiercely questioned it, but Bush couldn't have been more explicit in his exit interview that he won't run a partisan palace on the Hilltop.

Instead, he and his wife envision scholars working on significant public problems and dignitaries visiting to lecture, study and write. As with the Lyndon Johnson library at the University of Texas, the Bush library and institute stands to add a valuable intellectual dimension to SMU and Dallas. While we strongly encourage them to make the operations transparent, we look forward to the impact this will have on our city and region.

George W. Bush's presidency was far from perfect, but that doesn't mean his post-presidential life cannot be consequential. We look forward to seeing that next chapter unfold as he and the former first lady settle back in as neighbors.

1. 'twas a typo. Supposed to be "ineffectual dimson"

Typos happen

[grannie4peace]

2. i see what you mean

[lostnotforgotten]

3. Hmm, Seems He Can't Even Get Geography Right - The SMU Campus Is As Flat As A Pancake

eom

25. He must have read the New York Post article

that said there are mountains in Dallas. Yes, really.

Everyone's getting a big giggle out of 143-year-old New York Post Page Six columnist Cindy Adams' reference today to ston Hollow as "a town outside Dallas" known for its "horse stables, lake views, mountain views, golf club views."es a Post comment, "Cindy Adams has perhaps sampled the manure addiction"; writes a Gawker-er, "looks like cindy a is still senile." (One regular Gawker stalker also notes that "my parents live in the neighborhood and let me tell ya -- no one is looking forward to the traffic, security and all the other bullshit. another reason not to go home! like i needed one...")

Unfair Park has tried all morning to ask Nicole Kidman's favorite columnist where she gets her intel -- clearly, not from Wikipedia -- but no luck. She's on deadline, says her assistant Molly, who seemed initially amused by our questions ("To which mountains is she referring, specifically?" "Exactly how many miles out of Dallas is Preston Hollow?" "Is Sidney Falco in her office right now?") but ultimately grew a little annoyed, though that may just be the accent.

Which reminded me of a B movie I watched for a few minutes a while back as I was channel surfing. Supposed to be about something or other in Dallas...I see what is supposed to be downtown Dallas. OK, that's fine...then way behind the buildings I see MOUNTAINS. WTF????

36. There was a made for TV disaster movie

several years back, which had a dam breaking in the mountains outside of Kansas City.

We all got a hearty laugh out of that one.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Just think of everything Bush has to contribute.

Imagine what psychologists could learn about drug-abusing rich-kid, frat-boy psychopaths from studying him.

[billybob537]

5. envision scholars working on significant public problems

Too bad he didn't ENVISION that EIGHT YEARS AGO!!
Poor pathetic coward!

[lunatica]

21. Now everyone knows the Bushes don't have 'that vision thing' problem

to contend with. Bush doesn't have to self-examine 'cause he already knows that history will judge him quite well. Someone, perhaps Babs told him so.

I can't wait for reality to pay a visit on this couple.

[lunatica]

22. Some intellectuals will study the Bush Era for a long time to come

And so will psychotherapists, students of the criminally insane and historians. There will be research done by novelists looking for evil villains. So there will be an element of intellectual food for thought. It just won't be intellectual content, but instead it will be intellectual curiosity and researchers.

[IDemo]

6. W's brain will make a valuable addition

[kirby]

7. It is very true...

He will add to the intellectual dimension, along the negative axis. It will bring needed balance.

[merh]

8. What, will he dedicate a wing to his coloring book & comic book

collection? :shrug:

[SheilaT]

9. I'm reminded about the old jokes out there

about W's Presidential library and the coloring books it will contain.

[rainbow4321]

15. I already put a comment on their site that it will be a "fiction only"

reading material library and that the "Twilight" book series has more realistic content than anything chimp will have in his library.

[Cirque du So-What]

10. I was under the impression that SMU said 'thanks but no thanks'

to Chimpolini's collection of chicken scratches...or perhaps it was the Methodist Church itself :shrug:
Hardly surprising that the RW flying monkeys try to insinuate themselves where they're not wanted, however :eyes:

[Baby Snooks]

32. The Methodist Church said no...

The Methodist Church said no but the SMU regents said yes. It is not a really happy situation. No doubt to become even unhappier as time goes by. The regents have a lot of money and money talks, and money walks when money doesn't get its way, so in the end the regents prevailed.

The library should have been put at Texas A&M alongside the other Bush library. A testament to the warmongering military-industrial complex that A&M seems so proud of these days and of course promotes through the George HW Bush Library. Our former and current Secretary of Defense of course is the former president of Texas A&M. Which doesn't bode well for what may be coming in terms of our military policy.

[dixiegrrrrl]

38. Let us pray.....that SMU had Madeoff financing.

[Ishoutandscream2]

11. God, what a right wing rag

The only good thing about that paper is the sports page.

[MajorChode]

20. The DMN has actually been moving to the left lately

Dallas county is now blue and the more balanced Fort Worth Star Telegram has been slowly gaining ground as the metroplex newspaper of choice for even Dallas residents.

They haven't yet purged their ranks of wingnut editors, but it is coming.

[Vickers]

12. Oh, did he decide on another location?

:rofl:

[Optical.Catalyst]

13. What section will 'My Pet Goat' be in?

Will "My Pet Goat" be in the lending library section

Will it be in the Reference section

Or maybe it will be in the Research section

[Maestro]

14. Oh the Dallas Morning News is such a crap rag!

Ever since we lost the Dallas Times Herald, this shitbag rag has spewed its neo-con crap for years. It is a disgusting newspaper!

[LibDemAlways]

16. Reagan's "library" has posters of Bedtime for Bonzo

on display and sells jelly beans in the gift shop. I would imagine chimp's "library" will display "My Pet Goat" and sell pretzels. I have a feeling those running the place will have to make accommodation for a large bin to collect all the shoes thrown at whatever portrait or statue of chimpy is most prominent. Also they should budget for a large graffiti wall to collect the not-so-polite messages people will want to leave. And, if the chimp chooses to be planted there, they'll need some sort of "urination zone" for those lining up to pee on his grave. With proper planning, that place could indeed draw in crowds and have an impact.

[dkofos]

17. His next chapter will be the war crimes tribunal

[pipi_k]

18. There are some words that just don't belong in the same paragraph

let alone the same sentence...


"Bush" and "intellectual" are two of them.


It's like comparing the brain of Stephen Hawking with the brain of a common housefly

[Javaman]

19. maybe the meant to say, "add a valuable intellectual dementia". nt

[MrsBrady]

23. you know that Belo is a Bush friend, right? n/t

[rucky]

24. Unfortunately in SMU's case, this might be true.

I went there for undergrad, and it's not exactly known for its intellectual student body.

[beac]

26. Yeah, good luck with that, Duh-bya.

Somehow, I don't see the finest minds of our day rushing to join Bush's think thimble.

Even lesser scholars will surely be smart enough to steer clear of the Worst President Ever stench.

[goforit]

27. I wonder if he'll display the infamous Goat Book (upside down on 9-11)

[begin_within]

28. They were supposed to type "dementia"

[Solly Mack]

29. too easy

[liberalhistorian]

30. Well, well, well. Who would have thought that two hundred

copies of My Pet Goat accompanied by shelves of coloring books and bins of crayons would ever be considered a valuable intellectual dimension?

[roamer65]

31. Chimpy McFucknuts.

What a POS.

[Caliman73]

33. Will there be a lot of copies of My Pet Goat there?

:evilgrin:

[TWiley]

34. Bush intelligence to establish the new dimmension of anti-truth.

There are NO better liars and con men than the henchmen of the bustapo

[Fleshdancer]

35. My deepest condolences to Dallas...

When things get too crazy up there, come on down to Austin and say a while. :D

[busybl]

37. oh that's sad

a moron to raise the intellectual level. It's worse than I thought down there.

[hootinholler]

39. Sort of like what a black hole does to other matter.

The stoopud hurts! But alas, they may be correct. This administration is a case study in what not to do.
