elfsFirst heard this on Stephanie Miller this morning, and it seems to be going hot: Mail President Bush a shoe. The address for the White House is: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC, 20500.
After all the abuse of office, and the sheer inability of the man to come to grips with the great moral evil he has unleashed on the world, even from a purely secular, even epicurean, even Buddhist viewpoint... he deserves it. He will not go down as our next Truman, loathed upon leaving office only to be rehabilitated by history. He will be the torture president.
In an interview yesterday on ABC with Martha Radditz, Bush made the self-serving statement that "One of the major theaters of war against al-Qaeda was Iraq." Radditz pointed out that al-Qaeda wasn't in Iraq until the U.S. invasion. Bush's response: "Yeah, that's right. So what?"
So what.
So, send him a shoe. You probably don't want to put a return address on it. Think of it as a going away present. Hell, it's not like the country has any money left to pay the mail office workers at the White House anyway.

Because everyone knew that while he was bad the likely replacements were worse.
Yes, back during the first Gulf war it was being publicly discussed that removing Saddam would result in exactly the sort of mess we have now. The *best* results that could be expected weren't real great either.
That's *why* this Bush had to push the fake links to Al Qaeda and the lies about WMD. Because *just* removing Saddam from power was known to be a *bad* idea.
