The little man

History will remember Bush as an incompetent and incurious man overwhelmed by a world too big for him.

    The little man

    Thank you, Garrison. Our hearts beat as one. I cannot help but imagine what our history might have been if the presidency had not been stolen from Al Gore in 2000. He was well aware of al Qaida and its threats. I can't imagine that after being informed of the attacks of 9/11 he would've sat there listening to children read "My Pet Goat."
