Summing Up George Bush
11-11-8


Poor George Bush. All he did was lie about a disastrous war, ruin America's reputation, shred the Constitution, divide the country (quite purposely), let one of our cities drown, spy on us, turn us into torturers, stand by and exacerbate environmental calamity, double the national debt, polarize our wealth into banana republic proportions and deregulate us into the greatest economic disaster in a century.

And how do we express our gratitude? Did we impeach him? Did we bring him up on war crimes charges? Did we tar and feather him?
No, heartless ingrates that we are, we made him suffer for eight years as president of the United States, with all the isolated lack of attention that goes with that lonely job.
