James Fallows commenting on Bush's last press conference noted that is was "somewhat harder to dislike him viscerally after this performance."
I, personally, am just sick and tired. Sick of the infection that is George Bush and sicker still of the people he brought to political power - Cheney, Rumsfeld, Yoo, Wolfowitz, Alberto Gonzalez, and Paulson. They were criminals all and many war criminals. They are a cancer upon the nation and it will take a generation at least to purge their disease from the world.
And I am tired of Bush himself. The lame, illiterate speaking style. The Pollyanaaish way he ignored the world's rightful critizism. The sometimes willful, often clumsy, always childish way he blundered through international relations. The many faith-based imbiciles he placed in scientifically important positions where they would pound the Bible while ignoring simple scientific facts. I am tired of all of the bald-faced lying.
Mostly, I am just sick to death of the fact that we have lost an entire decade to the ignorance, brutality, fear that dominated the Bush Years. To say we are worse off now than we were eight years ago is to understate the case. We are worse off now than we were a half-century ago. George Bush squeezed two generations of decline into his two terms.

I couldn't agree more. On so many fronts a total disaster for this country and the world.
If anything you have misunderestimated the case seriously much.
First of all, nothing made that little shitheel more likable. That was a truly noxious presser. He admitted to having made mistakes in what he said, but what he did was far worse.
Second, he didn't bring that many people to power. Rumsfeld, Cheney, and many others were Reagan's filthy little creatures, a fact that few want to mention lest it tarnish the reputation of that other filthy little shitheel, Ronald Reagan.
But I'm not bitter.
By the way, the next time someone says to you that Reagan broke upt he Soviet Union, or whatever version of that fable they like to tell, ask them if they ever heard of Afghanistan, because the same country that destroyed the Soviet Union is being instrumental, thanks to Bush, in destroying the US. Here's hoping Obama is not going to go all LBJ on us and escalate a mistake by his predecessor.
