So What: The Autobiography of George W. Bush

What’s left for satirists? GRITtv Guest Host Lizz Winstead with Baratunde Thurston of The Onion and Jack and Jill Politics and Lee Papa a.k.a. the Rude Pundit. They marvel at the president’s ability to turn an insult into an object of his own benevolence. If it weren’t for me, says Bush, the shoe thrower would never have had the freedom to do what he did. So what says Bush to Martha Radditz who reminded him that Al-Qaeda wasn’t in Iraq until after the US invasion. It might serve as a good title for his autobiography.

So where do those in the business of political satire turn now? There are last licks. As Lee says the horse isn’t completely dead yet. And the Bush administration may be the gift that keeps giving. Witness a recent report on George Tenet’s bawdy behavior in Prince Bandar’s pool.
