At 8pm tonight, President Bush gave his final speech to the nation. I did not watch it, mainly because I forgot. However, I did read the Yahoo article about it, which had the highlights.
First, what would a Bush speech be without a Bushism?
“You may not agree with some tough decisions I have made, but I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions”
Yep, he went out with a classic Bushism. Glad to know he was willing to make those tough decisions. That was really keeping me up at night.
This next one caused me to burst out laughing. It’s clear that Bush has never read Harry Potter.
“I have often spoken to you about good and evil. This has made some uncomfortable. But good and evil are present in this world, and between the two there can be no compromise.”
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius Black tells Harry “The world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters [evil].”
I think I would have been disappointed if he didn’t give us a new Bushism in this last speech.

Ah well… five more days.
Didn’t even know he made a speech.
