Last night felt like a marathon run from the netroots on Bush’s speech. But I for one absolutely loved it. To me, this speech will always be remembered as the pinnacle of the dark epoch of Bush’s America. Our children and grandchildren will watch this speech with the same level of contempt we have for Strom Thurmond bandying about with the word ‘nigra’ in his old speeches, or watching the mayor of Birmingham defend the city-wide segregation policies. They are sad reminders of racists running the country who watched the world grow in tolerance and acceptance while they died in sad, lonely obscurity.

This is classic Bush coming down on the wrong side of history and revealing his true bigoted self for all the world to see. How can I help but feel joyful in watching this megalomaniacal tyrant accelerate his path towards the infamous annals (pun intended) of civil rights history.
