Bush said on Fox News Sunday yesterday that he is proud of his Presidency and that he didn't have to sacrifice his principles to govern the country. I'm sure we're all happy for him about that. His principles are so important to us all.
He said he hopes a new young generation of Republican leaders rises up to take the baton from him but was unable to name any potential worthies other than his own younger brother. Finding new leadership is not going to be the problem for the Republicans. We all are now familiar with Sarah Palin. There are also leaders like Bobby Jindal in the deep South and Heather Wilson in the West.
The problem is going to be finding new young supporters for basic Republican values. The black dirt ignorance of Christian fundamentalism. Free reign for criminal corporate giants. Jingoism. Suppression of women's reproductive rights. It's the same problem presented by a huge pile of steaming, wet dog shit. If you shovel enough Mom, apple pie and little flag pins on it, you can cover it up but what can you do about the smell and the maggots?
