After eight years of Cheney and Bush rubbing Americans' faces in it, you'd think we'd be used to it. But coming from these two, it rankles. What he should have added: 'Good-bye from the worst leader in America's history.'

This story is another brief one about a comment by the president that surperised othe leaders. Why am I not surperised?

The Telegraph reports that Bush ended a meeting at the G 8 summit in Japan with the words, "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter," and then punched the air with a fist and grinned widely. Typical Bush: when made to do something he doesn't want to do (like talk seriously with others about reducing US pollution), he ends up poking a stick in the eyes of the others he holds responsible for forcing him to do something good. He did the same with the drug bill helping the elderly; he poked them in the eyes with the $5,000 "doughnut." He's done it ad nauseam during his ad nauseam presidency. It's another gift for Obama and the Democrats.
