Former President George W. Bush has been holding a reunion of his "old gang" in Texas this week to make plans for his presidential library and policy institute.

According to Scott McClellan, one-time Bush White House press secretary, those plans can be expected to center on attempting to spin the history of the Bush administration rather than addressing it honesty.

1. What I Wouldn't Give To Have Been A Fly On The Wall Listening To That Conversation........

Bush: 'ok - how are we going to make lemonade out of the last 8 years".

Really - what do you think the conversation went like. "How can we pull the wool over their eyes". "How much lying do you think they'll buy into".

This might have been able to be done before the age of the 'internet' and '24/7 news shows - but - now there is just too much of the truth out there to even think of spinning an alternative reality.

Yet - I guess I take that back - all you have to do is listen to what Obama says and does and then listen to the RW hacks twist things to make him look bad.

So I guess they can do the reverse.

3. They've already had eight years of practice

but Bush, being who he is, will probably still completely fail.

5. why would they try anything new after all this time? Spin an alternative reality was what they did

so "well" for eight years.
