George Bush's wake

Can you tell if John Burtis is happy with the Republicans or not?

Gerald Ford will officially become the longest living President, now that George W. Bush read his obituary and his final political testament before the gleefully assembled Democrats on Wednesday, just after he expired late Tuesday night. And chief among his pall bearers will be Alberto Gonzales, Doctor Bill Frist, Dennis Hastert, Elizabeth Dole, Ken Mehlman, and John McCain...

But as the venerable elephant lay on its death bed, while the President entered intensive care, and the Grand Old Party began its slow spiral into oblivion, the pall bearers, knowing the starch gravitas attached to their upcoming job, rendered no assistance to the ailing pachyderm, Mr. Bush, or the Republicans.

I won't give up on George yet, not as long as Al Qaeda wants to kill us, and there's nobody to take the president's place.
