Roland Burris ain't got nothing on the Georges Bush

For all the grief that Roland Burris has taken for building a totally bizarre mausoleum for himself, and for naming his kids Roland and Rolanda, it's worth pausing to remember that however monumental and distasteful his ego might be, it doesn't even come close to holding a candle to the self-regard of the Bush clan.

Last weekend, you had H.W. threatening to inflict his second son upon the nation as President (Dear Lord, please, no!), and today, his first son (who give us the 2nd and 3rd terms of a president named George Bush) helped commission an entire aircraft carrier named after his father.

So while I'm admittedly no great fan of Roland Burris, I'll take his awe-inspiring ego any day of the week  over that of either of the Bush presidents, and I'll do so happily.
