Two days after
The New York Times singled out
Saddam Hussein's unloaded spider-hole pistol (band name alert) among the possible trophies to be displayed in George W. Bush's SMU library, and a week after
Pulle's piece on the joint, comes
this Associated Press report about the contents of
the Lewisville bunker in which Dubya's stuff sits till
the library's done dug. It's quite the massive collection of odds and sods -- 40,000 artifacts and 65 million documents -- including everything from "a purse made of vines from the Thai queen" to a Nolan Ryan-signed Texas Rangers jersey to thousands of off-limits docs no one will ever get to see. Oh, and "boxes full of presidential cuff links, crayons and pens."
In other words: the makings of the world's greatest
garage sale. And the extra scratch could come in handy, should George and Laura feel the need to spend a little on extra security now that
the Dallas Police Department has budget-cut some of its former-presidential protection.
