The George W. Bush Foundation is now assembling trophies for his presidential library. They  may include on display the 9 millimeter Glock pistol given to Bush that was taken from Saddam Hussein by soldiers that captured him in his hide out.

A professor and historian at Rice University in Texas said (emphasis added) the pistol opened a psychological window into Mr. Bush’s view of his presidency…..You think ? The pistol in a glass case for five years was often shown to visitors in the Oval Office.

My gawd it really was all about George. Even out of office Bush can cause my jaw to drop in amazement at his horrid shallowness. No regrets from George, he has his little prize.

“That was a great day,” Mr. Bush told the Pentagon Channel in December. “I’ve had a lot of beautiful days in office; some not so happy. But my best days have come when certain milestones have been reached, and I love to share those milestones and those days with the people who actually made them happen.”

Mark Langdale, the president of the George W. Bush Foundation, said the library would use items to highlight 25 of Mr. Bush’s presidential decisions. “The gun is an interesting artifact, and it tells you that the United States captured Saddam Hussein and disarmed him literally,” Mr. Langdale said. “How we fit that into the decision to go to war, we haven’t gotten to that point yet.”
