How many Presidents does it take to change a light bulb? How many Presidents does it take to effect change? Two when one is George W. Bush, the lamest of the lame ducks.
Change does feel imminent. Seeing the Obama team spring into action with daily press conferences, a leader cautioning us to have realistic expectations who’s willing to give answers that are neither condescending nor designed to dodge all highlight the absurdity of the past eight years and provide a small beacon of light in this most depressed circumstance.
As for changing a light bulb? Maybe W. is capable of that. But among the things to be thankful for is that he will—finally—be gone.
Note to Laura Bush: if you get the book deal, you can be candid. There’s no danger your husband will read this or any other book.
