What the First Lady gives, Shrub will surely take away

First Lady Laura Bush wants to restock Hurricane Katrina-damaged libraries.
“No doubt, many books were destroyed by the rain and flood waters,” she said at a gala (Sept. 23) for donors to the $1.5 million festival. “Family Bibles, scrapbooks, children’s books that were cherished by parents and children alike.”

No word on how many copies of “My Pet Goat” she might be getting, as surely available copies are being horded for the official announcement of the location of the W. Presidential Library. Nor does the story tell us how many Patriot Act-snooping FBI agents will need to hired to monitor checkouts of these new books.
