Despite all the carping, there’s a lot that is good to say about 2008. The presidential election was great. Britney seems to be improving. George W. Bush is leaving. Eventually. That collider in Switzerland didn’t create a universe-gobbling black hole. So far.
Before we move on, one last blast from the past. See how much you’ve failed to repress about the year:
1. During his farewell interview with Charles Gibson, President Bush said:
A) “The economy thing sure took me by surprise.”
B) “I think I was unprepared for war.”
C) “Obviously, Katrina caught my guys off-guard.”
D) “In retrospect, I totally didn’t know what I was doing.”
*****
2. When asked whether he would have invaded Iraq if he had known there were no weapons of mass destruction, the president said:
A) “Hell, no.”
B) “Yes, because — as I have said many, many times — we liberated that country from a tyrant.”
C) “That guy tried to shoot my dad.”
D) “That’s an interesting question.”
