HoodaThunk?

On this last morning of your presidency, Mr. Bush, allow me to extend my thanks for your service. We didn’t always agree, you and I, but you’ve done an admirable job in the face of an unrelenting enemy: our fellow Americans who so disagreed with your values they couldn’t just be the loyal opposition we’ve seen in the past. Under a withering firestorm of negativity from our media and the howling of the Left in this county, simultaneously and illogically clinging to the notions that you were both the most stupid and also the most diabolically clever President in US history, you set the safety and liberty of the American people at the top of your task list. We have been safe here at home since the 9/11 attacks and that’s been no accident.

You deserve the rest you’re headed to in Texas and I’d not fault you at all if your last act as you pass the driveway gates at your Crawford home was to lean your arm out the window and flip an ungrateful half of the nation a big, tall bird.

Thank you again, sir, and send our best to Laura. Get out of that suit and enjoy being a fellow citizen again. Good luck and good day.
