The Legacy Defined

Via Taegan Goddard, by all means display this:
As former president George W. Bush broke ground Tuesday in Dallas for his presidential library, officials weighed whether or not to display one item that few know is being held in storage there: the "Mission Accomplished" banner.
SOMEBODY evidently treasured it.
More than 3,000 people, including friends, supporters and former administration officials attended Tuesday's ceremony. Outside, there were about 100 protesters joined by a handful of counterprotesters. "It is hard to believe there is this much excitement about shoveling dirt," Bush said.
Dirt?

Let me be moderately fair and acknowledge that Bush said that banner was a mistake in some stupid interview with Matt Lauer, but, you know, he's a big fat liar.

I hope this library becomes a pilgrimmage site for all sorts of protestors and detractors in perpetuity.

It was a mistake because people called him on it.
