#1 he'd like to erect a monument to honor President Bush

A monument sounds good, but erect? Why does it have to be erect? Is it an arab cultural thing?

#2 Why not make room for him on Rushmore next to Reagan? That would really piss the libs off!

#3 Sorry, but you'd get less of a fight in Iraq than you woudl from the left here about a (Reagan or) Bush freedom monument.

#5 No statues or monuments till they're dead. Though I suspect some on the left and their islamic-fascist allies are working on that now as well speak. They forget the line from Star Wars that went something like - If you strike me down, you'll only make me more powerful than I am now.

#6 Rushmore was designed for one more head. TBA, as it were. I think they were thinking FDR.

#7 No statues or monuments till they're dead.

Too bad the politicos here in SV don't understand this. We have the Caltrain/Amtrak station near the Arena, Diridon Station, named after a former supervisor, Rod Diridon, the McEnery Convention Center, after Tom McEnery, former mayor of San Jose, and Mineta International Airport. There's more, but I can't bring them to mind right now.

NONE of these people are dead yet.
