15. I changed only 3 words (inserting Bush) and now Gonzo makes sense. Except, of course,
he would not say this with my three words changed:

"Over the past two and a half years, I have seen tyranny, dishonesty, corruption and depravity of types I never thought possible, I've seen things I didn't know Bush was capable of. But I will tell you here and now that these things still leave me hopeful, because every time I see a glimmer of what the evil man can do, I see the defenders of liberty, truth and justice who stand ready to fight him."

The departure ceremony was an affront to reason.
DON'T watch this video, it is too gonzo:
