Dubya's Legacy

This is Bush's last contribution to his own pedagoguery- a once grandiose design for 2 buildings located on the campus of Southern Methodist University, now, sadly, or fortunately for us little people, the design is now calling for a "single building with two separate wings, with design elements distinct from each other", according to Laura Bush.
The President's response? "It will be cool-looking."
I googled for Stern's sketch of the proposed building, (albeit a cursory search), but it proved fruitless so far.
According to the blogs, the backers for this project are all Bush cronies, who all seemed to get the same urge at the same time- donate money to SMU! Why is this NOT surprising! A partisan project initiated by a partisan President, and paid for by partisan money!
I have just one burning question: why isn't his Presidential Library and Freedom Institute being built on the campus of his alma mater, Yale University?
