Here's a piece from the Washington Post that I missed yesterday. It's a devastating look at the legacy of George Bush. Here is how it ends:
The ugly emptiness will remind us always to be wary of the grand schemes of politicians. They can't build a building. They cannot capture a mass murderer. They cannot wage war in Iraq. This is their hole. It is, by dint of failure, George Bush's presidential library. His proper legacy is a void.
Hat tip to Anon Con for posting it first.
This is really a great column, and I usually don't like Richard Cohen much.
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered what the George Bush Presidential Library would look like. I guess he can have one wing for "My Pet Goat" and another wing for "The History of Salt." From what I can tell, that's the extent of his reading!
Don't forget, he will need a wing to house his collection of DVD's made for him by his staff to inform him about major catastrophes - mostly of his own doing.
ReplyDeleteRetardo,
ReplyDeleteI am genuinely missing your point in most of your comments on this blog. Forgive me if I am a little "slow" -can you summarize for me (and, maybe the other readers of this blog) what it is that YOU are really trying to say, instead of telling US what we should talk about?
Thanks smartballs. I agree whole heartedly.
ReplyDeleteRetardo - it's a big world out there on the web, and I'm sure you could find something more interesting to read elsewhere, if you don't like what you find here.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like to read about how stupid Bush is, although I also like to change it up occasionally and read about pictures of someone shitting the golden arches of McDonald's.
Any idea where I might find something that interesting?
I missed that,too. I'm generally not a big oped reader, but that's pretty damning.

retardo,
ReplyDeletethere you go again, asking me to "talk about something interesting", and not answering my question. What is YOUR point?
seenos or left-over,
could we vote this retardo-bot "off the Left-Over island"? I like coming here, and he/she/it is putting me in the bad mood.
Smartballs - I'm not a fan of censoring comments, because this medium is about free speech.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I do expect a little more than just insults and calls to change the subject.
That was my point earlier up the thread - if Retardo doesn't like the purpose of this blog, there are plenty of others. He/She/It should go where he/she/it finds the discussion interesting.
Seenos -you have a valid point re:censoring. I'll just have to get over Retardo's insulting rants. BTW, I enjoy reading your blog -it has nice mix of politics, humor, sport (how 'bout them Gators!!!)
