Bush's Last Press Conference: "america hates me so ill make more bad jokes & backhanded compliments. also i handled katrina awesomely"

Follow along with me, keeping in mind that this is only a portion of our eloquent leader's final adieu.

 00:00:01 We open, noting that dubya's tie and suit are both two different, very close shades of blue. Thanks for spending our taxes wisely. You look like a high school play. Dumbass.

00:00:19 Bush remembers Africa. For the first time.

00:00:30 Bush notes "turnover" in the media business and in one comment manages to insult people who actually do their job and bring attention to the fact that people are losing jobs. HA HA. Wonder why that is.

00:00:46 Makes a strange joke, reminding the American people of one of many words Bush introduced to the English language. All while maintaining a condescending grin. My stomach turns and I have a similar reaction to when cougars in bars wink. At anyone.

00:01:05 Bush says the media do the best they can. I am reminded of Palin's folksy description of the media as "a bunch of stinking apples." 

00:01:52 Bush almost forgets to add "billion" to 350. As if asking for either amount is making reference to pocket change.

00:02:05 Bush explains, in response to a question about the $350 bil bailout, how the senate works. Thanks, George. Perhaps now that you are done being president, you can write for the schoolhouse rock people. I'd love to learn (through toe-tapping songs of course) how the president decides who to bomb and when. 

00:02:15 Bush is charming. "He hasn't asked me for it yet." It's not his reparations, W. Be nice.

00:02:29 Third conversation? His wife came over?! You guys haven't hung out with a case of beer and a season of Entourage???? It's ok. I understand. You're old. You're worried about the secondhand smoke from his menthols.

00:02:47 "two sixty-two year olders"

00:03:09 "President-elect Obama's fixin' to do that." Followed by a hazy recollection of a series of events Bush wishes he could live all over again, a slight pang of guilt for being the worst president ever.
