Joe Klein: "Bush the Lamest of All Possible Ducks"

Klein gets nostalgic on the Bush presidency.

That we have slightly more than one President for the moment is mostly a consequence of the extraordinary economic times. Even if George Washington were the incumbent, the markets would want to know what John Adams was planning to do after his Inauguration. And yet this final humiliation seems particularly appropriate for George W. Bush. At the end of a presidency of stupefying ineptitude, he has become the lamest of all possible ducks

One thing most Americans can agree on this splendid Thanksgiving day, 2008: The Bush era is about to end.
