Marching On

And the march to the Top Ten reasons I cannot wait for Inauguration Day continues:

#75. Blair House: The Bush Family were asked by the Obama Family to move into the Federally-owned guest house traditionally used by incoming Presidents a few days earlier than scheduled so the First Daughters-elect could be in a house when starting school. The Bush’s said the place already had a booking – obviously it must be something or somebody more important or prestigious that could not be moved or rescheduled, right? Nope. They lied. There was nothing scheduled…until a few days later…and the big, unmovable, extremely high-priority booking? The Australian PM. I mean, the ex-PM. Even if His Excellence had been booked into the House months in advance, isn’t there a W. Hotel nearby that would have been just as homey?

#74. Dirty Laundry: Why is it Martha Stewart had to go to jail for about 100k in question and an insider trading allegation? She didn’t have her dad’s buddy heading up the SEC investigation, or a lawyer who just happened to also be counsel for the SEC. W. did, and that is why in 1990 when he up and sold stock in Harken Energy for 800g right before it posted a $56 million loss.

#73. Gail Norton: Bush appointed this former Colorado AG as the Secretary of the Interior. She was most famous for vehemently opposing gay marriage in Colorado. Nearly worse, she was equally anti-environment and a big fan of oil drilling, mining and logging and not so big on preservation. Oh, and she was later implicated in the Jack Abramoff scandals. Good pick slugger.

#72. Drill, Baby Drill: Bush inspired the insipid Palinism when he made it very clear that offshore oil drilling was his answer for the global energy crisis. Last year Bush lifted a 27 year old ban on drilling, and went on to promote more drilling – even during the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav…whose damage caused about 120,000 barrels to wash up on the gulf shore. Nice.

#71. Midnight Regulation Party: For more on the environmental disaster that is the Bush Administration; look into all of the rotten little crud these people have been trying to pull since election night! Yes, on the evening of the election, over the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years holidays, while America was busy – Bush and Company were selling off Utah, editing down the endangered species lists, increasing drilling, and generally pissing off Robert Redford.

#70. Horrible People Who Love Bush #10: Rep. Michelle Bachman
#69. Horrible People Who Love Bush #9: Sean Hannity
#68. Horrible People Who Love Bush #8: John Hagee
#67. Stupid Comments on the 7’s: About Bush, “The man responsible for keeping Americans safe from another terrorist attack on American soil for nearly seven years now will go down in history as one of America's greatest presidents.” Ann Coulter (June, 2008)
