A soon-to-be octogenarian recently said this:
The country is doing pretty darn well, but the war in Iraq is a large problem. There's a lot of what Jimmy Carter called 'malaise' around.
His name? George H.W. Bush, who turns 80 on June 12, in an interview with Time magazine's Hugh Sidey. Bush41's next sentence was:
I give total support to what the President does -- without any reservation.
So, on this Memorial Day, three cheers for supporting - and without reservations now, kiddies - Bush-induced wartime malaise!
Hip, hip, hooray.
