I ain’t that big on poetry but damn . . . . just damn, that was bad. Ms. Alexander, they’re hiring security guards in the New York area. _Please_, quit your day job. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Dying’s easy. Spending the next forty years outside of the bubble and hearing everyone call him the worst President ever is what Bush deserves at this point. That and having to sweat out every four years worrying that the next President might decide to sign his extradiction order. Exactly. I hope it’s a fate worse than death. Warren G. Harding had class that Bush can only dream about. When the scandal broke, he died. None of this impeachment crap for him. ---

I for one am disappointed. I was hoping for a fuel-air bomb to take out him & Cheney ont’ way to BHO’s inauguration. Just for the sake of tradition, you understand.[sup]\*[/sup] Of course, this has been a confusing eight years for the curse? Who is the proper Great White Chief? W, the nominal head of gubmint? Cheney, the power behind the throne? Algore, the people’s choice? W’s dad, maybe? Or some plutocrat who wields massive economic power? I think the curse got confused & took a mulligan. [sup]\*[/sup] It would probably be better for the state for them to be kidnapped & subjected to truth serum until they give up all the secret prison locations. But I speak not of policy when I speak of the curse, but tradition. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nooo-tippecanoe-how-could-you-fail-us/482017.md?page=2)
