“The Bush administration had seven years after 9/11, no successful attacks on the United States”–Charles Krauthammer on George W. Bush, whose approval ratings have climbed to 47% since leaving office.

 

How I miss his steady hand

That kept the ship of state afloat

In cowboy boots he took his stand

And read to us from “My Pet Goat.”

 

He kept us safe from Hong Kong flu

And madmen in Korea

Thanks to him we never knew

The horrors of Sharia.

 

Terrorists who boldly stalk us

Planning some perverse attack

On St. Louis or  Secaucus

Would look at him and turn right back

 

No jihadis in hijacked planes

From Bosnia-Herzegovina

Attacked us. And no hurricanes

If you don’t count Katrina.

 

And when shoves to pushes come

He saw that Saddam itched

To blow us all up with a bomb:

Fission Un-Accomplished.

 

So bring it on, you sorry slob.

Don’t misunderestimate him

Dubya did a heckuva job

But somehow, we still hate him.
