WASHINGTON ? Texas lawmakers are pushing to name a Midland courthouse for former President George W. Bush, although he would have to share the honor with his dad and a longtime Democratic congressman.

Bush grew up in Midland, where his father began his career. Both he and his dad remain popular in conservative West Texas. A crowd of 30,000 greeted the younger Bush in Midland last week, hours after Barack Obama became the new president.

Rep. Michael Conaway, R-Midland ? Bush's longtime friend and former accountant ? is pushing the idea. All 20 Texas Republicans in the U.S. House have signed on, as well as 10 of the 12 Texas Democrats.

The holdouts are Dallas Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson and Austin Rep. Lloyd Doggett. Aides to both declined to comment.

Conaway pushed the idea last spring, but with Bush still in office, the bill died in committee. He filed it again Wednesday.

The bill would turn the George Mahon Federal Building in downtown Midland into the "George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush United States Courthouse and George Mahon Federal Building."


A truly appropriate name for a structure of justice.

Ha.. the funny thing about this post is that I took your comment undoubtedly for sarcasm, then I read the poster's name and realized it wasn't. Which makes me think with the way you phrased it, and how it sounds sarcastic, that you are just fucking with all of us and are really a latte-sipping black-rimmed-glasses-wearing liberal

They should call it the "Georges Mahon & Bush 1 & 2's Best Little Courthouse in Texas"

I've long suspected that winnar (and also possibly Butterbuns) was someone's parody account.

Yeeesssiiirreee, I'd like to see that happen, and then hire 'ol Alberto Gonzales and Harriet Miers as judges working out of that building, and have Tom DeLay, Jack Abramoff, Bob Ney, David Safavian, Mark Foley, toe-tapping Larry Craig, Lewis Libby, Duke Cunningham, Ted Stevens, Bob Allen, Don Rumsfeld, Mike Brown, et al sit there on permanent jury duty.

Why settle for a facade of absolute contradiction by partly naming a hall of justice after Bush Jr., when you can run that court much like how Bush Jr. ran his secretive, scheming, hidden agenda-driven, corporate-owned and operated administration with the aforementioned crooks actively involved in administering "justice" there?

All of those disgraced/convicted republicans previously named that are associated with the Bush admin. should also have their names engraved on that building right along with that equally and thoroughly corrupt, crooked and disgraced ex-president #43.

Whatever happened to Butterbean? He was such a character with his rants against the gay conspiracy to sodomize America with communism or something like that....

Maybe he and his ilk went into hiding under orders from Zombie Master Rove and are now awaiting their next call to come out of hiding en masse so as to shock and awe the nation into goose-lock stepping with a new and improved NeoCONJOB Propaganda Blitzkrieg© Ver. 2.0?

+1.

But for *Texas* justice, the capital of executions, he may well be right.

At long last, a place where Alberto Gonzales can find gainful employment.

But the name of the building is far too long to fit on a letter head, who would want to write, "George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush United States Courthouse and George Mahon Federal Building.", a 1000 times on the blackboard. They need to shorten the name.

Maybe we can turn into a verb like a place to get borked and porked.

Nah...I think San Francisco had a more fitting structure to be named after Dubya...

It's pretty hard to link Bush and Justice, but on the other hand, Bush and "sewage" seem a good fit.

Insufficient commentary and clearly a trolling post to begin with.

No shit. Are the mods asleep at the switch or can I start posting articles with "Way to go!" <thumbs up, thumbs up, beer> as my commentary now?
