A Small Fraction of a Man by William Rvers Pitt
It's way too long to post his writing here, ut it's worth the read.

3. Bush was terrible
And writing that comprises of a long list beginning with the same or similar phrases is boring and lacking in content. Luckily despite this being a prime example of poor writing, Bush was still the worst president ever, on that we can all agree.

4. so true
Also true that he hasn't done himself any favors with his "memoirs", purloined and puffed up as they are. I wait for the true historians and authors (Wm Pitt maybe?) to write the truth.

recommended.

7. Didn't Will brag, predict, that Dems would NOT get their asses kicked a few short weeks ago?
And basically take a "take that to the bank" and "fuck you if you dare disagree" attitude?

This was regarding losing many seats in the House and Senate. The House was lost IIRC.

Just wanted to remind him (you):-)

8. Maybe that's why he left.
10 years of reporting on a useless, never-ending war took its toll on him.
And on us.
