The Bush Administration in a Word: Barneycam

Of all the blessings given to the world by the Bush Administration --- Afghanistan, Camp X-Ray, Torture, the handling of Katrina, the wishing away of climate change --- this may be the one that best sums up the legacy of Bush and Co. (Indeed, I understand the looped transmission of this video may be succeeding waterboarding as a favoured technique in Christmas Greetings to America's enemies/detainees/"unlawful combatants".)

President George, in one of his more lucid acting moments of recent times, tells Barney: "We're sprinting to the finish."

Not fast enough, son. Not fast enough.
