I'm just going to go ahead and say it

You know, I'm really going to miss President Bush. It's not that I approve of 99% of what he's done (pardoning those turkeys is always a good thing), but I enjoy having him around. He cracks me up. I was reminded of this again today, when I heard about his farewell to the G8 summit:

"The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: 'Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter.'
He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock."

This is no "Thank you, Your Holiness, awesome speech," but it's up there with the inappropriate massaging and the dancing in front of the White House press corps.

Thanks for these memories, G-Dubs. It's going to be hard to say goodbye.
