... And good riddance

MANIFESTO

While the great times continue in Washington, my favorite moment was seeing the helicopter lift off, taking the hideous Bushes back from whence they came.

Television didn't cover Deadeye Dick's exit; it probably wasn't unlike the scene in Ghost, when Willie Lopez is taken to his awful end by the evil spirits.

UPDATE — From Maureen Dowd, writing on Wednesday: [People viewing the helicopter] wanted to make absolutely, positively certain that W. was gone. It was like a physical burden being lifted, like a sigh went up of “"Thank God. Has Cheney’s wheelchair left the building, too?"
