The Most Generous Man in Washington, D.C.

The most generous man in Washington, D.C., must be the CNN reporter who writes that Bush’s legacy is a mixed bag:

It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times — a tale of two legacies as President Bush prepares to ring in the final year of his presidency.

I’m not nearly as generous as that guy. If I were to say that Bush’s legacy is mixed, I would mean it’s a mix of honest incompetence and deliberate malice, and I slipped “honest incompetence” in there only because I’m in a giving mood this time of year — most of the time I think the Bush administration is pure malice.

So, Merry Christmas to Ed Henry, the soul of generosity. Merry Christmas to you, George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, and all the administration. May this Christmas bring each of you exactly what you deserve.
