Here’s a great email I got from a Bushie (in response to my Inheritance Tacks cartoon), in which he addresses each of my “Tacks.” Isn’t it just heart-rending to watch him clamber to defend his failed paragon?

“Federal Deficit - Great, let’s add TRILLIONS to that deficit, that will help (and blame it on Bush) North Korea - Let’s write a strongly worded statement to the UN  (and blame it on Bush). Afghan War - Let’s do what Bush would have done, just more of it (and blame it on Bush). Crumbling Infrastructure - Why don’t we give the money to Democrat Party hacks in big cities to store in their freezers  (like the money Bush had given to maintain levees in New Orleans and let’s blame it on Bush). Economic Disaster Keep Barney Franks’ and Chris Dodd’s cash cows at Fannie and Freddie bailed out and the former firms of  Obama cabinet appointees afloat with taxpayer money (and blame it on Bush). Fatigued Military - (Blame it on Clinton and the “Peace Dividend”)  but, let’s not confront the problems at all ( and blame it on Bush). Global Warming - Other than Kilamanjaro most mountain glaciers are advancing; the Ross Ice Shelf broke because it became too heavy; and I had to heat my home more this winter more than I ever did (but let’s blame it on Bush). Healthcare - Let’s keep providing services to CANADIANS WHO CAN’T GET THE PROCEDURES AT HOME and keep serving illegal immigrants from Mexico and then copy the British/Canadian model. (Hey! I’ve got an idea, all of you join Michael Moore  for “free” healthcare in Cuba because this stinker of a system is Bush’s fault). Iraq War - It’s over (but let’s surrender and blame it on Bush). YO MONTEY!— Go to——————–CANADA! All the Best, Dave Jones, Seaside, CA”

There, there, Dave — let it all out — you’ll feel better. I guess if I were a Bushie, I would be feeling a little depressed and angry, too. But you’ll make it through the transition. It may take several years, but eventually we will have undone the Bush legacy on most of the above issues — and we will be living in a civilized country like the many others where everyone has health care. I must admit that there were times in the last eight years when I felt like moving to Canada — but the Democrats are in charge now . . .
