In several weeks, President Bush's horrible reign of incompetence will be over. However, the White House PR effort to spin history is in full effect.
Well, we know now that Bush can duck thrown shoes pretty well....but he can't duck responsibility for what he and his cronies have done...
He can't go away fast enough...his administration's PR effort to whitewash his eight horrible years...is pathetic. He is one of the the worst of lame ducks in history doing little or nothing as the economy continues to collapse. Bush is very reminiscent of another Republican -- Herbert Hoover -- in the midst of the Great Depression.
Historians will be brutal in detailing Bush's years of arrogance, hypocrisy, corruption, callousness, false piety, incompetence, deceitfulness....subversion of our democratic ideals...
here's a couple poems about that...Thank God...it is almost over.

IT'S YOUR PROBLEM
It's your problem.
I am not responsible.
I am only running the country.
Lost a city.
So sorry.
Lost a son or daughter.
My condolences.
Costly wars, hurricanes,
terrorist attacks.
Oh well.
Just fodder so I have more
fictions about freedom &
Democracy to sell.
It's your problem.
Isn't that clear.
The buck stops anywhere but here.
It's your problem.
Got no safety net.
Can't count on our help.
You're on your own
Your government is out on loan
to line the pockets
of everyone I know.
You're on your own.
*********************************
WHO'S THAT ON MY TELEPHONE LINE?
Who's that on my telephone line?
A government spy?
Snooping in my records and files
saying it's all justified
using that tired
terrorism line.
What you do in my name is already
a crime before you tapped my telephone line.
A collect call.
This is Al Queda calling
We never imagined we'd have so much
success turning America against itself.
With all this spying we don't have to do a thing.
Got you living scared
and questioning and turning
against your own values.
