People who know me will see the title of this post and wonder. But I finally have come up with something good about George Bush: He made us laugh. (Click on the photo to the left for a link to a great compilation of some of W's brightest moments.)
Yes, laughter is good. Although with Mr. Bush that laughter was quickly followed by the nervous twitter of realizing he was the leader of the free world. Usually that led to complete and utter embarassment --at least for me, and it should for our nation. But George Bush fueled the comedy of our nation and the world more than any president in history. He made us laugh more. Okay it was at him, not with him, but laughter is still good.
I'll miss him for that. But I'm really glad he doesn't have to try to be our president any more. I don't think he was cut out for that job. I'd like to see him buy another baseball team or something. I'd even love it if he bought a lake house down here and a nice bass boat. He could come down to get away from the city and hang with the weekenders at Don's Port Marina or the locals at Cedar Isle.
Enjoy your retirement, Mr. Bush. I'm very, very happy for you.
