Sipping and comtemplating the end of the W-Era reminds me that when all is said and done, the world will see the misunderappreciation of G.W. as clearly as we see the stars in the night sky in Manhattan.
Think of the things that people like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will miss.
Whoops*
- A President who actually speaks English as a second, or third language.
- A President who thinks that Nucular is a word and a damn serious one at that.
- A President who has a tough time eating the same snack food that two-year-olds consume regularly without choking.
- A President who has only gotten to chapter two in the book that he began his first year in the White House, Fun with Dick and
GeorgeJane. - A President who is geographically challenged and probably believed Palin that she could see Putin from her porch.
- A President with keen mental skills who can tell you the difference between his office and that of the Vice President (none).
- A President who actually said in print that he won the election for Barack Obama (yes indeed, the interview in People).
- A President who by mulct (look it up) took the Presidency to begin with.
- A President who by every defining accomplishment has turned out to be as savvy as the 7-11 on the next corner.
- A President who by all measure is not smarter than a 5th grader.
- A President who has actually said that he thinks history will show that he was a great leader.
And by the way, some people think it is a good idea to wear a helmet when riding a (self balancing) Segway*. Just in case you fall off. Or fly through the air like Mary Poppins** on a bad day.
W. You are totally
flipping the press, an apparent usual activity**
And an update. Apparently, the Office of White House Counsel is also packing it's bags, only they will be carry-on only. The busy busy shredders will have to buy their own passage.
Tune in NPR (right now) to listen to Holder's confirmation hearing. 75 year old Orrin Hatch seemed to forget the questions mid question and Holder, a gentleman, answered anyway. I think even Orrin is in love now. The topic of choice? How will the new admistration treat the old departing one? Will they prosecute them or will they leave them be by the skinny skin thread of lawfulness they fictionalized for themselves to outsource the "war" interrogations. Only time will tell.

Even the First DOG is looking away in embarrassment in that last photo!
I do have some compassion for Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and other political comedians. But Jon and Stephen have proved they are brilliant comedians who are ready to take on a challenge. Finding GWB funny is a little like shooting fish in a barrel: almost too easy. It will take comedians who are real mensches to find the humor in a president who is intelligent, competent and able to speak in complete sentences and who will never be rendered unconscious by a pretzel. After all, Obama's a terrible bowler. He has a sense of humor about himself. But if he refuses to be funny, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will still have that comedic goldmine Sarah Palin to kick around when high-minded competence don't seem funny enough.

Yeah, GW doesn't think of himself as funny, which would show just a bit of humility.
Legos, and GI Jane!

Very funny. And less than 100 hours to go.
My God, critical, you're counting the hours? Good idea.
Ha! How did I miss this? Love the part about English as a second or third language.
