George W. Bush is the veritable “old-shoe“: Comfortable and unpretentious, also seemingly unmoved by anything - shoes being thrown at him, wars gone bad, huge deficits, the effects of insufficient oversight and regulation of the financial community, incompetence and negligence on the part of his appointees, politics driving almost every decision made, torture being “rehabilitated.”

His brother Jeb has said that George was the “clown” of the family. Well, he’s “clowned around” in the White House, and smirked, for eight years, except that the joke has been on us, and I mean all of us, even those on the Right who still don’t get it.

Now, maybe if a horseshoe had been thrown at him. Ah, but horses aren’t allowed into press conferences, even when the speaker might be a horse’s ass.

(Needless to say, the above paragraph is a JOKE. I wish the President a safe conclusion to his term in office.)
