Bush’s last day
Posted January 20th, 2008 at 11:05 am



You may have noticed, on bumpers or t-shirts, the “1.20.09” slogan. It denotes, of course, Inauguration Day for Bush’s successor.

With that, I just thought I’d mention that after seven painful years, the Bush presidency will end exactly one year from today. It’s obviously something to look forward to.

It’s an awkward period in Democratic politics right now — a contentious presidential primary, a frustrated Democratic Congress — but looking at the light at the end of the tunnel, and knowing it’s probably not a train, might serve as a morale booster.

5. That photo of Nixon waving & peace signing as he steps aboard the 'copter for the last time...
...I challenge ANYONE to come up with a photo that will match the FINAL photo of Bush LEAVING the White House FOREVER.



Even INTERNET PORN can't match THAT mental image.

2. One more painful year of the worst president ever
I hope we make it without another of his major screw-ups.

4. Are they going to have to drag him out, kicking, screaming and crying?
"No! I'm the Preznit! I'm the Decider! I'm the Commander Guy!"

8. Thanks, Amerigo!
Isn't it beautiful? It's an Annie Liebovitz photo.

11. Proof that a picture is worth 1000 words.
There's nothing I can say about John Edwards that isn't expressed in that photo. The fact that it was taken by Annie Liebovitz adds to its power (I am a lifetime devotee of her work in Rolling Stone).

7. I'm trying to picture three hundred million people descending upon The White House, dragging his
sorry ass out, if Bush announces he's not leaving

Don't believe it would be a pretty sight! :scared:

12. I'd like to see a nation cheering his exit.
SERIOUSLY.

I know security is going to be tighter than a duck's water-tight ASS, but I'd love to see a wall of humanity surrounding the White House, sending this worthless frat boy bastard on to his retirement.

18. "Bush's Last Day"?
Let me close my eyes and dwell on conjuring up that image, but s-l-o-w-l-y, luxuriously, let me savor it
like honey dripping off a spoon onto the tip of my tongue...


O, the excruciating joy!
