Give George W Bush a Break Already

I found some alarming pictures as I browsed Google Images today. I was sitting at home, watching 90210 today, when I suddenly thought: Where is George W Bush now? Then that led to a thought process of, I wonder how much that guy aged in the eight years he was president. I mean, obviously eight years, but how much does he look like he's aged? Being criticized and made fun of constantly for a solid eight years takes it's toll. So you take that, coupled with the fact that he doesn't drink, if we all do the math, W has aged well over 1,000 years in the past 10 years.

George Bush has spent almost eight years of his life being ridiculed. While I am all for making money and afterward rolling in ze dough, I have trouble accepting Bushism books, books solely made up of stupid things George W Bush said one time. The guy isn't the sharpest tool in the tool box but it's not like we've never had a stupid president before. A recent poll stated that 51% of Americans (i.e undecided voters on the generic national ballot) think that the state of the economy is George W Bush's fault. 27% think it's Obama's fault. This is probably the most irrelevant poll ever taken. Was this poll taken by Obama's mother before handing it to him and saying "See, Barack! People like you! They really like you!" The fact that manpower and time was devoted to making this poll baffles me. You want to know why, because believe it or not, W's not president anymore. So stop talking about it!

George W Bush doesn't eat kittens! He doesn't! That's the worst thing you could possibly say about somebody. Kittens are cute, goddamnit. Don't use them as fodder for your political agendas. W wasn't a great president. We're in a stupid war (which Obama hasn't gotten us out. You may remember he said he would and hasn't yet.) We're in an even worse recession and don't get me started on the Patriot Act or the "there are nuclear warheads in Iraq" fiasco. It wasn't a stellar eight years for America. But to blame one person for all of that, I'm pretty sure that's called not accepting responsibility. So dear America, whether you be merely a registered voter or a congresman- find a new scapegoat already. It's been two years. Even if it is his fault, (it's probably Dick Cheney's but nowadays his heart doesn't beat without an iPod strapped to it, so you don't have to worry about him doing anything particularly diabolical this week.) it's over. Done. Woulda, shoulda, coulda. So, in the only piece of political writing I will ever do that doesn't have to do with Spencer Pratt has to do with this: Get over it, America. It sucked. It's over. It's just like when Bob Dylan was Christian and doing a lot of gospel music. He's not anymore. George W isn't president. So, please, let's get back to fixing things and doing less complaining.

Also. In case you wondered. This is what W is doing right now:
That's right. In Haiti, giving money to Haitians. Givin' aid and relief and whatnot to Earthquake ravaged Haiti. They have no infrastructure there anymore, you might have heard? And you know who he's with? With Bill Clinton. Who is the most awesome of the presidents. So, that kind of cancels out W's suckage. For now at least.
