I can has legacy now?

So the homeboys got tired of Chief Chimpy hanging around the office making fart jokes and Laura nixed the idea of another "vacation" so they pack him off to the Middle East where, hell, how much MORE damage can he do, right?

Meanwhile, back in the real world, I gotcher legacy right here, asshole.

UPDATE: Maja, of course, has more - check out all her links, esp. Dan Froomkin. I like this part:
"With all due respect, Bush might do the region and the entire world a favour by staying home," suggested the respected Beirut Daily Star commentator Rami Khouri, "if he plans to visit the Middle East only to speed up the same American policy of blindly supporting Israel, sending arms and money to Arab authoritarian regimes, opposing mainstream Islamist groups that enjoy widespread popular legitimacy, ignoring realistic democratic transitions, and actively pressuring governments and movements that defy the US."
Yes indeedy. I'm sure Bush's visit is being discussed with all the respect that it is "due."

Heard the chimpster had to travel by bus for part of the route in Gaza. Brings to mind "Babel" and an opportunity to see the real world up close.

But who am I kidding? He's still absofuckinglutely delusional about the place he's dug for himself in history.

He's still waiting for his parade, I hear.

Yeah, did you notice he went to a Holocaust memorial, then went Christian sites, and most of all went to where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount. Of all the places to have him go! He was asked how it felt to walk the path of Jesus...holy shit!!!!

If Jesus saw he was invoking him and his legacy, he would become an atheist! I love how he wants to be paralleled to Jesus - funny, President Bush's actions are NOTHING that Jesus would have preached or condoned in the Sermon on the Mount...NOTHING!

The fool certainly has an ego the size of a circus tent. Gosh, you don't suppose he's trying to compensate for something, do you?
