You know the drill.

My to-do list fell into the narrow crack between my desk and the wall. I can recreate most, if not all of it, from memory, but I know I’m going to be nagged by the suspicion that I’m forgetting something important.

From CNN.com:

Bush admitted he was disappointed with Tuesday’s results and took his share of responsibility as party leader.

But he looked forward rather than back. “The message yesterday was clear: The American people want their leaders in Washington to set aside partisan differences, conduct ourselves in an ethical manner and work together to address the challenges facing our nation.”

What a lot of us really want is your ass shown the door, Mr. Bush. But you weren’t up for re-election, so we had to settle for the next best thing.

And man, are you ever one to talk about nonpartisanship and ethics. The biggest challenge facing our nation is how to undo all the damage you’ve caused it since taking office.

I’d love to think this election was about wanting the Democrats back in power. But I realize it was much more about desperately wanting Republlicans like Bush out of power.

The Democrats win the House. The Democrats win the Senate. Donald Rumsfeld resigns. It’s a sign of what this country has become lately that I honestly have to ask the question, “Am I hallucinating?”

Gosh, I sure hope George W. Bush wasn’t lying about anything else…

BUSH: You and Hunt and Keil came into the Oval Office and asked me to question one week before the campaign. Basically, are you going to do something about Rumsfeld and the Vice President? The reason why is I did not want to make a major decision in the final days of the campaign. The only way to answer that question, and get it on to another question, was to give you that answer.

More to the point, actually, I hope this means he is going to do something about the Vice President, too.
