Independence Day weekend saw an independent incursion into the Web site of the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum at Texas A&M University. According to a news report, campus officials said the intruders left a message in the “events” section of the site that read, “Say hi for George Bush. LOL. Saudi hackers….”
A Texas A&M technology official said the Web site’s servers were not connected to any sensitive databases, such as those that contain personal information or financial records. So the only incendiary repercussions that day were from the fireworks display over the library.

Given the rich legacy from which they could have pulled quotations full of malapropisms, this showed more than a little restraint on the hackers’ part.

Oops…was thinking more of the one Molly Ivins called “The Shrub” rather than the real Bush, whose library is at A&M.

The greatest hack of all was placing GW to front the PNAC agenda.
