Hail to the Chief, he's the Chief and he needs hailing...

I didn't watch President Bush's speech last night, Dick Gerber the striker was too busy taking an MLS team into the Championship in FIFA '09. But I did read it this morning.

I don't really want to talk about the speech. I'm sick of it all, and it's far too early in the morning for partisanship - - but something needs to be said about this line:

You may not agree with some tough decisions I have made. But I hope you can agree that I was willing to make the tough decisions.

This is fantastic! Let's paraphrase: I may have messed up when I did things, but I definitely didn't stop doing things. I wish this logic worked for me in my life.

Principal: Mr. Gerber every single one of your students failed!
Me: Why yes, yes they did. But you can't say I wasn't willing to have kids fail.

Girlfriend: Dick, you can't get your dick up.
Me: Well would you look at that! You're right! But you can't say I wasn't willing to lie here flaccid.

Stranger: Excuse me sir, did you just kick that homeless woman?
Me: You got me! But you can't say that I wasn't willing to kick the homeless for the betterment of the American people.
