As for the meaning of the Bush presidency, I think the kindest thing you can say about it is that W. proved that anyone can be president -- even the incompetent yet privileged scion of a powerful political family that includes several members of Skull and Bones and a former President.

Whatever. I sure am glad that in 2008 we actually had a merit-based election though.
