Well, the feeling isn't mutual for the vast majority of your fellow citizens, Mr. Bush. Historians will soon study the fit of mass insanity that caused the American people to re-elect George W. Bush in 2004. Was it the wars? Was Karl Rove that good? Fox News? Was John Kerry that bad? Who knows....
The 2000 election is vastly more understandable: The country was in the midst of a booming economy and the election of Bush versus Gore just didn't really seem to matter all that much. Bush had successfully fooled tons of people with his "Compassionate Conservative" pitch, and Ralph Nader convinced millions of would be Gore voters that both Bush and Gore sucked pretty much equally.
But 2004? That's a different story altogether. A vast body of evidence had accumulated that showed W to be lazy, violent, stubborn, reckless and vengeful. Yet the American people suffered through what can only be described as a bout of mass insanity and re-elected him.
You'll miss us? Guantanamo Bay. Hurricane Katrina. Iraq. Torture. Dick Cheney. The new Depression....
We won't miss you. Turkey.
