As of today, Bush has one year to go.

Not that it escaped most hardcore anti-Bush people I'm sure, but today (January 20th 2008) marks the beginning of Bush's last year in office.

Is it conceivable for this administration to carve out even the slightest crumb of a positive legacy in the next 12 months? Nigh on impossible I think, esp given that I hear most of the "good" (!) staff have either left or are already sending out updated CV's.

Yeah, he's been a disaster alright. He could create something of a legacy if he returned to proper conservatism i.e. slashing public spending and pork-barrell corruption, balancing the budget, and telling the religious right to go stuff themselves.

Well the worst presidency in American history, certainly since the turn of the 20th century anyway, comes to a close (there were some drunks in the 19th centuryand an incompetent that refused to wear a coat to his January inauguration, caught pneumonia and died). My Bushism calendar says as of tomorrow there's 365 days till his replacement by someone sane -pleasenotHuckabee pleasenotHuckabee pleasenotHuckabee pleasenotHuckabee - but I could have read it wrong when I had a peek blearily this morning.

Funnily enough I wanted to put it on display in the kitchen so his contribution to the English language could be admired but other powers intervened and his mangled prose now adorns the toilet cistern.

Appropriate enough I'd say. I wonder will his official White House portrait similarly hang in the presidential toilet?

You've inspired me! That is definitely hanging upside down above the toilet come January of next yr.

I've said it before and I'll say it again if Huckabee gets the Republican nomination there will be a huge push from the Democrats just so they won't have a president with a stupid name. They can SEE the Europeans and the Asians laughing at them already.

There won't be much I ♥ Huckabee from the blue states or the rest of the globe. Not that this will matter to Republican voters of a certain conservative background.
President Huckabee.... sounds like a kid's cartoon.
