The man does not disappoint. Why change when you've got a good thing going? By the way, when will you be going? Oh wait, before you slither back under that sunbaked Texas rock of yours, could ya change this $10,000,000,000,000 bill for me? C'mon, be a pal. What's that? Oh, sorry. You've already changed it? Uh, okay. So where's my change? You changed it into debt? Oh you! Yes Mr. President, that is fucking hilarious!

Bush is goofy because, beyond approval and success, he's not sure what he's looking for or what might be looking for him. He has the beleaguered mien of the legacy pledge who's tired of doing push-ups in the mud and downing shots of Jagermeister when the only thing that's ever been somewhat clear to him is that he doesn't want to be in a fraternity anyway. When he doesn't get the power or respect he wants, W. tends to lash out with pre-emptive ridicule, macho posturing, and charges that the opposition is namby-pamby. He enacts a classic conversion from weakhandism to strongarmism.

Don't let the ass hit your door on the way out!
Oh wait ...
