George Bush's Farewell

It was almost pathetic.
I can't find sympathy for someone who caused so much death and misery but he looked and sounded absolutely empty.
He leans, even at the end, on one event. An event that he should feel guilt about but that he has turned into some obscene badge of pride to display whenever he needs a pick-me-up.
Good bye.

The heroics of Flight 1549 totally obliterated any public interest in Bush's pathetic plea for relevance. As soon as he began trotting out the same unapologetic lies he's been telling since 2004, I skipped over the rest of it.

The only interest most Americans have in Bush any more is of the "why is he still on my TV?" variety.

Morning.
For someone who believes that only history will be able to assess his term, he sure does paint a rosy picture. Everything good that happened on his watch was his fantastic success; everything bad was no big deal or the fault of his predecessor.
What a small, disgusting man. My hope is that he does not now enter the past, but a prison cell.

Can't wait til Tuesday.

Isn't it just a bit selfish on the part of President Bush to concern yourself with trying to save your legacy and defending past mistakes in the midst of an unprecedented financial and economic crisis in this country?

The brilliant handling of the US Air flight yesterday afternoon stood in stark contrast to the way The Great Pilot flew our country into the mess we are in now.

President Bush, I'll be glad to see you go!Thank you for keeping our country safe since Sep. 11. Thank you for lowering our taxes! Thank you for not listening to the polls and the extremely left wing MSM. You did what you had to do and kept us safe. It's really a shame the Dems ruined the economy, and you ended up taking the blame for it, like everything else the agenda driven left wing msm blame on you.Great job sir!! Lets hope Obama doesnt royally screw us ovwe the next 4 years. I just keep reminding myself that it took four years of a moron like Carter to get 8 years of Reagan. So I'll suffer these next 4 years with higher taxes, wondering if Obama will keep us safe, hoping he doesnt push us further into depression, hoping and praying that we get another Reagan

hahahahahaha

ilikechips -- yeah, dips usually do.

No effort by our friends on the right. Just lifeless rote posts. It is as if they realize what has happened but keep responding like it hasn't.
Sort of like Phantom Leg Pain for an amputee.

Thank you for keeping our country safe since Sep. 11.
Anthrax, Katrina, Financial Meltdown, 4224 devastated American families.
This is apparently some new sense of the word 'safe' that I'm not yet aware of.

Bush was Bush to the end. I am neither suprised nor disappointed. This is largely what I expected when we elected the guy.
.
Who disappointed me? The media and the Democrats. There I expected more. Not a lot. But some foresight and approriate opposition.

I take it the Trotsky reference is a wink wink nudge nudge sort of thing.

ilikechips has had a little too much dip.

Ford stood up. "We're safe," he said.
"Oh good," said Arthur.
"We're in a small galley cabin," said Ford, "in one of the spaceships of the Vogon Constructor Fleet."
"Ah," said Arthur, "this is obviously some strange usage of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of."

Do not miss Juan Cole on Bush's legacy.

ilikechips is QH, etc. with a new name, same delusional statements and mindset.

It is so profound that on the same day that Bush chose to make his farewell speech, he was overshadowed by a brilliant, experienced and competent pilot who saved many lives. A man who is 180 degrees the opposite of George W. Bush. That pilot reminded America about what a total F-Up George W. Bush has been.

George Bush gave a speech last night? Was there some kind of national emergency that required his attention? Must've missed it TCM had "The Naked City" on. Good flick...I give it 4 stars.

jayackroyd...good link from Juan Cole.

I don't think ilikechips is QH, but they certainly should be slammed together in unholy matrimony, thats for sure!
.
And, I'm absulartly, peesolutely one hundred percent positive that the Katrina Diaspora are behind president whats-his-name 198%...

I actually heard the speech because I was working and didn't bother to tune it out. All I know is that it was like a reminder of the bad ol' days, rolling out all the 911isms and rhetoric like a blast from the past.
.
Either that, or it was a very, very loud and stench-filled fart...

"What a small, disgusting man. My hope is that he does not now enter the past, but a prison cell."
.
Sharing the cell with Cheney would be even better.

Nothing Bush has ever done has ever received any credit from liberals. Except maybe in sarcastic shrill comments. Even if Bush has or hasn't kept us safe from terrorist actions, the same droning goes on and on about how he allowed Katrina to ruin New Orleans or he didn't allow federal tax dollars to pay for abortions. Or blame him for firing US attorneys, some that HE hired and he has every right in the world to fire all of them. I think Obama will winding retaining a good portion of Bush's policies, i.e., I don't expect Guantanamo to close anytime soon, there will be a military presence in Iraq in 17 months, the tax cuts for businesses will continue, hurricanes will probably cause damage next summer, etc.
