In some grotesque way, I'm going to miss the "Decider" after Jan. 20, 2009. Think about it. Has there ever been anyone we've spent so much time laughing at? His simian face and movements. His clumsiness. His pretzel choking. His assault upon the English language. His deer-in-the-headlights expression. His plastic turkey. His "Heck of a job" endorsements of fools. His stumbling through speeches and life. His inability to hold a rational thought. His clueless existence.
On second thought, perhaps we’ve only been laughing to keep from crying. We’ve spent six and a half years subject to the whims of a madman who lacks any redeeming human traits. Like John Wayne Gacy, he’s a sociopath and a serial killer disguised as a clown. Perhaps Gitmo could be turned into a zoo to house Bush & Co. Watching Bush in a cage trying to decide whether to peel a banana before eating it might provide some amusement. We might also get a few chuckles watching Cheney gnaw at his bars in fury. Then again, I think we’ll all be overjoyed to just be rid of them once and for all so we can begin rebuilding from the ruins.
