Having A Little Work Done

ML and I have been out of commission for a couple of days, having, as Joan Rivers would put it, a little work done.  Just botoxin' the blog.  Actually, it's been the full lift: I've been the surgeon, ML has been the patient, and Blogger has provided the tools, such as they are: all five templates, four fonts, a kindergarten color palette, and the software equivalent of rusted pinking shears. My eyes burn.  My brain is fried. I launched this  makeover as a break from the week's horrid news; in terms of frustration level, I can't say there's been a net improvement.  In fact, it's worse than the healthcare bill: I've stared at the thing for so long, I've lost my perspective... like most other Moderate Democrats. Touch-ups will be required.

Maybe what we Democrats could use now is a cheer-leading squad. Where is Obama Girl when you need her?  Hey, George W. was a cheer-leader. Maybe he's not too busy to help out.

I've not heard a thing about how his speaking gigs are going, but, in the interest of bi-partisanship, shouldn't we consider putting him to work if he's available? A careful Google search on "George Bush speaking tour" shows the most recent entry as February 25th, 2009: "George Bush embarks on lucrative speaking tour..." and one on February 24th, 2009, "President Bush plans to earn a fortune on 10 year speaking tour..."  It's the anniversary of George's speaking tour!  Wonder how that's working out for him.

I'm thinking we liberals could probably hire him for a song these days; we're desperate for an unambiguous whipping boy...just pay George to make a few (entirely unsolicited) campaign endorsements for his party members, make a couple of disparaging remarks about how the current administration is handling things. We wouldn't even need to tweak his speeches; just let him go unscripted. We'd have another easy target to throw into the mix with Palin, and we need that right now...t'would cheer us right up, clarify things wonderfully. And we'd have somebody to be down on other than ourselves, each other, and our president.

Who ya gonna call?
