The banner now sits in storage and will become part of the library’s collection. A decision on how or whether to display the red-white-and-blue banner hasn’t been made, said Alan Lowe, director of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.
Oh c’mon! That has to be part of the Iraq collection! Have it hanging from the corpses of a couple of American soldiers who died there, above artists’ renderings of what the fabled “WMDs” would have looked like, had they existed. [USA Today]

Well, this isn't as good as the Joe-McGinniss-gets-Willow-pregnant- meme I wholeheartedly endorse, but it is another sign of Teh Stupid.
Don't forget the flight suit with codpiece!
It would go great right above the pyramid of naked Iraqi prisoners.
Success was aborted. Put it in a jar.
If only that fucking pretzel had accomplished it's mission…
that would have left us with cheney for what – six years?
better or worse?
discuss.
Better. The Republicans then wouldn't have been elected for another hundred years. Imagine being labeled a "Cheney Republican." You might as well be a Nazi. Wait, scratch that. The Nazi are are popular with Republicans.
Depends. How would you consider a post-apocalyptic world like was portrayed in The Road Warrior?
Nah. Too exciting. It'll be more like your typical 4th world village.
It must hang on the front of the building. No other place is appropriate. It will announce to everyone how he accomplished his mission to destroy our country, economy and reputation. He's the decider.
Nah, because it would dwarf the entrance. After all, since the library's collection only contains two books, My Pet Goat and a dog-eared copy of the King James Bible, along with a roll of Constitution-embossed two-ply toilet paper, the building itself is probably the size of an outhouse.
An audiobook of the Bible, I expect.
Bush's library should also have the guitar he was playing while New Orleans drowned.
Museums are for dead people and "Mission Accomplished" would make a perfect epitaph.
If we visit, I believe we will be greeted as librarians.
Mission Accomplished. Almost. Kinda. Sorta. Don't tess with Mexas! Look! A butterfly!
Oh, it totally needs to be posted over that iconic hooded abu ghreib image, the grinning pictures of Lynndie England, a picture of Pat Tillman, and a support the troops poster. Of course, given that all anyone cares about now is Willow Palin, no one will remember who any of those people are or that there ever even was an Iraq war. Or a George Bush, for that matter.
Lynndie England…wasn't she on Big Brother 3?
Did Bush ever finish reading "My Pet Goat"?
that's actually the banner's intended meaning. It was the first book he ever completed.
And the foundation of the entire library's collection.
The exhibit will have "Bring it on" played on an endless loop.
They can hang it right next to the miscarried fetus Babs used to scare the shit out of him with.
I'm not sure that in any other library, two words would count as a "book", but it's nice to see them already adding to the collection.
Since massive fuck-ups are part of history too, it was this or the bumper of the car Laura drove into that old boyfriend of hers, but they couldn't find that.
I'm wondering if the Clinton Presidential library has a stained red dress hanging up in it somewhere.
It was blue. And yes, she is a cunt, and so is her enabler, Lucianne Goldberg, mother of famous doughy pantload, Jonah.
Mr. Lowe was asked the current conditon of the banner:
Mr. Lowe: We have top men working on it now.
USA Today: Who?
Mr. Lowe: Top… men.

Ah, the restoration by the "bottom men" didn't work out so well.
They should save it until Bush dies and wrap his coffin in it.
Soon? Soon?
Since the intended audience/probable visitors are the same people who enjoy the Creation Museum where Jesus rides dinosaurs, why not create a (hi)story in which the Mission was Accomplished, WMDs were dastardly sent to Syria, we were welcomed as liberators, enhanced interrogation is legal, the tax cuts saved the country, and the economic collapse during the Obamar Administration was due to black people buying homes from Barney Frank?
You mean that's not what happened?
They'll hang it at the exit of the library, 'cause people will need that comfort when exiting the place. Because, surely, subjecting oneself to the Bush Presidential Comic Book/Graphic Novel Emporium will have been a mission. Now, I know what D Day felt like.
BTW, I can't get over the irony that Laura was a librarian.
You know fucking well that Banner is right where it belongs, in Halliburton's Corporate Headquarters.
The banner's iconic. It should be viewed honorably, beside the Star-Spangled Banner in the Smithsonian.
Let's steal it.
I wonder, will they have to keep all the windows open or buy a big assed Smokeeter for Laura's reading cubby?
