Bush: petulant to the very end

President-Elect Obama made a request of George W. Bush: stop fucking up the country if it would be alright if his family moved into Blair House, the official state guest house of the White House/State Deptartment, one week earlier than scheduled so that the Obama daughters could start school on time. This request was turned down on the grounds that the White House claimed Blair House was already booked with a guest and they couldn't move in. So the Obama's had to live in a hotel for two weeks instead.

Of course it turns out that, at the time they rejected the request, no one was scheduled to stay at Blair House. When pressed into actually finding a guest to stay there so they didn't look like total classless, lying scumbags, the White House invited John Howard, former PM of Australia, to stay there for his Medal of Freedom ceremony so they could plausibly claim a resident. His stay length? One day. And for the other two Medal recipients, Tony Blair and Colombian guy? They made hotel arrangements. Clearly Blair House can only fit one man and then that fucks up the whole rest of the week so no one else can stay there.

Did I mention that Blair House has 119 rooms and 35 bathrooms, is actually four separate but connected townhouses, is secure and wouldn't cause extra security problems and costs that a two week stay in a hotel would? I forgot that. So congratulations George, I think that just about seals up your Presidency: completely self absorbed and completely petty 'til the last embers burned out. Before you leave. remember to shit in the Presidential bedroom toilet and not flush. Maybe get John Howard to do it.

We salute you.
