So Long GDubya
So long then GDubya, Man of Words, some of them coherent, as you wing your merry way to Crawford to make a cuppa for the missus, having given us your departure ramble down a memory lane littered by regrets and the burnt remnants of a million dead people who would be alive were it not for you....
So long to those cosy press calls where all the journalists, seem to be called Mike. How it fair brings a tear to my eye to see you reminisce so fondly on your era, as though the chaos you caused, is all perfectly normal. We hear you George, as you apologise for Katrina, for the complete and unforgiveable lack of WMD's, and the banner you held which said it was all over. You managed to catch Saddam, but Bin Laden remains.... are unconfirmed and The War Against Terror made T**T's out of us all because we let you fool us and retire unimpeached.
How much 'fun' did you have in that big ol' Whitehouse on a daily basis, while people lost their lives because of you? Was it a 'blast', to be in charge of all those lovely guns and silly old laws, so much so, you felt an overwhelming need to fire them both? It was a barrel of laughs for the rest of us believe me
And now, as you sidle away on the cloven feet of your effort leaving a pretty patsy to try to avert the final countdown you initiated, I wish you well, dear GW, as you wished Obama well, with a tiny snigger, because you really can't be blamed, with yer downhome style and yer ten gallon goof bucket for letting the bad guys tell you what to do. That was, after all, why they let you have the job.
So get gone pardner, and don't look back, sad you may be and full of regret for all the things you couldn't mess up but fear not, lest ye feel the need to return, rest assured, we'll be suffering the fallout from your reign well into the annals of history and the stink, may never wash off. You asked that history should judge you and believe me, it will. In thirty years or so, all will see the lies you told and maybe then just maybe they'll hang you for it.
