A fitting finale for Bush's presidency, you have to admit.

I had just finished a conversation with just this theme.  How fitting for the frat boy f*#kup.  Let the media spin "Legacy."  He's left the planet in a flaming mess, and his name will for centuries, hopefully forever, be synonymous with abject venal failure.

How sad that we all have to pay the price for his groundless hubris.

The one saving grace is this meltdown is happening at the end of Bush's term rather the beginning.  Can you imagine what he would have done in early 2005?  It would have made Hoover's term look responsive and moral.

a perfect epitaph for republicans, i'm hoping.

the spin is now that liberals have been scheming for decades to unravel the great benefits to society and economies by reagan and thatcher, and collapse government into socialism.

they're as spooked by pelosi as if she was the devil-

considering she's given them everything they wanted in congress since 2006, i can't think why...

oh yeah, she said nasty partisan things.

exactly what's coming down the pike...

nothing else will scrape the calcified belief systems out of the frontal lobes.

it didn't have to be this way, but now it is so...

No, leaving them in ruins, fighting a civil war within their party for years to come, would be the fitting finale on November 4th.
