In what I can only imagine is a last ditch effort/hope to leave a presidential legacy other than mounting debt and poverty, a generation of young men and women with missing limbs and severe post-traumatic stress disorder, and a government surveillance program that makes the 1950s look like a walk in the park, GWB has announced that he expects to bring peace to the Middle East before he leaves office. I know the prez isn't much of a history buff, but SERIOUSLY. It's been thousands of years. I laughed out loud at hearing GWB's prediction that a millenia-old war would be brought to its happy conclusion by the end of 2008, led by none other than the Champion of Never Ending Military Occupation. Maybe by the end of 2008 I'll have a billion dollars in the bank, Johan will be able to cook dinner for us, and we will declare our national language to be Dutch. These things are just about as likely to happen as Bush leading the way to peace between Israel and Palestine.
Actually, I take that back. Johan held a spoon in his hand for 30 seconds yesterday, bringing him one step closer to cooking me dinner. Thus, of the aforementioned list of things that will NOT happen by the end of 2008, it is more likely that Johan will be able to cook dinner than that Bush will make peace. Although, maybe if Johan can make a really nice dinner and we invited the Israelites and the Palestinians to the table to eat it, they would be so happy that they would forget all about the years and years of fighting and turmoil. While this plan may seem one-dimensional and simpleton, I imagine that it's more complex than anything GWB has up his sleeve.
One thing is for sure. GWB will certainly have a presidential legacy of being the president who made the most absurd, ridiculous, and inane comments during his 8 years. Cheers, you smarmy little idiot.
