I guess Im not suprised, George W Bush's farewell address.

I decided not to watch GWB spin another yarn about how great the
last eight years have been. I watched an episode of "House" instead.

Another 'satisfied customer', huh?

I did listen to it. Now I have VERY low expectations of the man. But he should have listened to the advice -- better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.

Regrets? The banner on the ship that read "Mission Accomplished." (Interesting in many ways -- at one point his administration tried to claim it was the work of the sailors...) Not the lie, not the hubris...he regrets the banner. I wonder if the reason he regrets it is giving Keith Olbermann a closing line for his show every night!

Major disappointments? Not finding any WMD. Jon Stewart put it well -- ordering a pizza delivered and the wrong one shows up -- that's a disappointment -- losing your job in a bad economy -- that's a major disappointment -- starting a war in which over 4,000 Americans and countless Iraqis have died and over 30,000 US soldiers maimed -- based on "bad intel" -- that seems like more than a "major disappointment."

Katrina - he has thought about what he could have done differently and all he can come up with is He could have landed Air Force one in New Orleans or Baton Rouge." That would have detracted from the relief efforts. Very true but why doesn't he get it was about more than just another hug or photo op???

How out of touch can you be????...but then again this is the man who was SHOCKED when a reporter asked him about gas getting to $4.00 a gallon. A classic moment that defined his presidency in many way.

Washington gave a well-known farewell speech and many have done so since. Nixon gave a farewell speech to his staff the night before (but then he did leave rather suddenly) and the speech is well known for his rambling about the special woman behind him...blah, blah...everyone thought he would finally give poor Pat her due...but he talked about his mother instead.

And he flashed the "V for victory" - not peace signs as he boarded the helicopter

Major reason why the 21st will be a great day.....less fish in the doghouse......Or will there be?

Carp - I thought that was a freshwater fish?

Is that what you're going to do on the 21st?

Oh isn't that the best show? Even Ty likes it - when he hears the theme song he whips around to stare at the tv
