The George W. Bush Institute -- the "action- oriented think tank" that is part of Bush's Presidential Center -- will co-produce a public television show hosted by its executive director, Ambassador James Glassman, in a rare convergence of public broadcasting and a partisan research organization.

"Ideas in Action" will premiere in February and will be co-produced by Andrew Walworth, who produces PBS's "Think Tank." Glassman, the former Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy under President Bush and one-time moderator of CNN's "Capital Gang Sunday," will lead a discussion on public policy issues in front of a live audience at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. He will remain executive director of the Institute.

9. Most people call them "septic" tanks

But I could see where George could get an idea or two from a vat of turds.

10. On their records, actually, he might, at last, have found his metier:

another right-wing think-tank luminary. Ah, what a firmament!

11. That damn liberal PBS!

[mascarax]

12. My mind is wobbling!

Although I had a hard time getting past "action-oriented think tank"...
If you hadn't clearly stated, yes, I would've thought this was an Onion piece.

I'd like to see Dubya on cable access instead. Maybe he could do a show in his parent's basement. Barbara could open up the door and yell at him from upstairs. (Laura, of course, quietly living separately in another city.) OK, I'm losing it...

15. isn't that what they call an "oxymoron?"

or maybe a de-oxymoron...as in a brain suffering from hypoxia?
