Since we're on the topic of the presidential inauguration, I want to regale you with something that I'd just absolutely love to see - but there's not a chance in hell it will happen.When Gerald Ford took the Oath of Office, he said, "My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over."
No truer words were ever spoken - unless Barack Obama speaks them again during his inaugural speech. And you know he won't. But it would be downright uproarious if he did!
Apparently it's a tradition for the outgoing President to sit behind the new Commander-in-Chief during the inaugural speech. So here's what I'd love to see: During his speech, I want to see Obama say, "Our long national nightmare is over."
And then I want to see him turn around, look at Bush, and say, "Isn't that right, George?"
If Bush couldn't be impeached in 8 years, he can at least be humiliated in front of the entire country.
Again, I don't expect this to happen. And even if it did, nothing is worth the past 8 years of horror. But it would be a moment to savor.
