how does it feel to be told “fuck you” by your president? because that’s exactly what’s happening in this incredible affront to decency:

of course, this is no surprise to those of us who have been paying attention for the past seven years. but i’m curious if any of those “hey, bush isn’t so bad” head-in-the-sand-ers feel any differently about the worst president in american history after watching this clip. somehow i doubt it.

here are just a few of the things bush finds uproariously funny:

• lying to the country to lead us into a disastrous war that has killed 3,987 american soldiers to date


• underfunding critical infrastructure projects and appointing a third-rate hack to oversee FEMA, resulting in the destruction and devastation of a major american city


• outing an undercover CIA agent working on STOPPING the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and then subverting justice to save his own ass when one of the minions involved in the outing is convicted of obstruction of justice and perjury

i find the entire bush presidency—and anyone who still thinks the man is anything more than a lying, cynical, arrogant, useless sack of shit—devastatingly sad. and the above little snapshot of our media laughing and fawning over the emperor with no clothes is sadder still, as it demonstrates not only how much we’ve lost during the bush years, but how hard it will be to claw our way back.
