Newshouse Politics

It’s easy to forget in, all the excitement surrounding the President-Elect and the new incoming administration, and all the economic stuff that George W. Bush is still the President. Wonder what he’s been up to? Well, I’m telling you anyway.

He’s apparently pretty anxious to get out of Washington D.C., having already purchased a nice little pad in Dallas, TX. Wow, he’s living in Texas? What a shocking turn of events this is, stop the presses. Oh wait, presses barely exist anymore. Well, stop the internets?

Anyway, he also lit the national Christmas tree. Again, lots of fun, substantial activity. My point?  This basically sums up Bush’s activity since election day. The man has been hiding in the shadows since then, and has been virtually invisible during the economic crisis. As controversial and unpopular as he’s been, it’s pretty pathetic to watch him shrivel up into his spot in history.

Other Bush news:

Brother Jeb wants to be a Florida Senator! My question: can anyone with the name Bush be elected again in the United States? My answer: yes. They’re just too damn good at getting elected not to, and I doubt Jeb will have much trouble getting elected in a state in which he was governor.
