According to this, George W. Bush has already made plans for his library, and it's not going to be good for the U.S.

..."The Hoover Institution," reveals Bush's chief library scout and former Commerce Secretary Don Evans, "is the model. That's what will differentiate our library." ...Evans tells us that the "Bush Institute" won't just take up the president's agenda of advancing compassionate conservatism, fighting terrorism, and expanding democracy: Women's issues, a passion of the first lady, will also get a starring role. "This will be a very active institution," he predicts. And that's not all. In a letter to seven colleges and the city of Arlington, all vying to build the George W. Bush Presidential Library, Evans and Bush brother Marvin say the prez also wants a high-tech library and museum, including an IMAX theater, gift shop, and apartment. It'll be expensive, and the winner will have to raise gobs of cash. But, assures the duo, "the president has many donors, supporters, and friends around the world."

As previously discussed, the Saudis were major contributors to the Clinton library. Expect them - as well as domestic favorites like corporations profiting from Bush's policies - to be major contributors to this effort as well. It will probably go the other way as well: those in the media and elsewhere who've supported Bush's policies may be offered sinecures from the new institution.

And, of course, the institution will help future Bushes in their various runs for office...
