THE BUSH TRAGEDY

"This business about graceful exit just simply has no realism to it at all." Let the nostalgia begin: we may never see words from the White House quite like these, ever again. "I think-tide turning-see, as I remember-I was raised in the desert, but tides kind of-it's easy to see a tide turn-did I say those words?" Ah, yes. And we'll miss them when you're gone, Mr. President. Here's the last chance to collect pearls of accidental wit: "One has a stronger hand when there's more people playing your same cards." "And I suspect that what you'll see, Toby, is there will be a momentum, momentum will be gathered. Houses will begat jobs, jobs will begat houses." "We shouldn't fear a world that is more interacted." Bushisms: The Farewell Tour is readers' last chance to join the fun in this lasting testimony to the power of the mismangled English language.
