Well, I guess it's time batten down the hatches, because Cowboy Georgie's hitting all the shit switches before he leaves office.
It's like watching Willy Wonka sabotage the chocolate factory before he hands it over to Charlie just to prove he's still in charge.
Of course, what we're seeing from Bush the Junior is only the obvious tantrum-ish fare. We don't see the screws he's loosened in the system, yet. The next president (whoever it might be) will be plugging holes in the country for years to come.
But, I've got to say, it's not all covert peaches and cream. I mean, how damning is it when your sworn enemy (at least, in public) from the last eight years actually endorses your party's chosen successor because they believe that successor will carry on your policies?!? Man, that's gotta sting!
In 2003, Bob Woodward asked Bush the Junior how history would judge his war in Iraq. Bush answered (as told by Woodward):
“[H]e said, ‘History,’ and then he took his hands out of his pockets and kind of shrugged and extended his hands as if this is a ways off. And then he said, ‘History, we don’t know. We’ll all be dead.’”
Maybe he's brushing off that last line for his legacy, too. He's out of the news, now, and whatever he does is for the next guy to clean up.
Charles
