Crooks and Liars:
Over at the National Review on Saturday, Kathryn Jean Lopez suggested a novel future for George W. Bush after he completes his disastrous tenure in the White House. The most unpopular President in modern times, Lopez insists, would “make an awesome high-school government teacher.” But leaving aside for the moment his obvious aversion to academic study and the English language (as well as the U.S. Constitution), Bush has already made up his mind about his “post-service service.” Upon leaving office, President Bush has said he plans to “replenish the ol’ coffers.”
Ignoring the inconvenient truth that many Republicans don’t want the radioactive George Bush at their own national convention in Minneapolis, the NRO’s Lopez would foist him instead on America’s school children:
“A totally crazy Saturday-morning thought: Wouldn’t George W. Bush make an awesome high-school government teacher? Wouldn’t it be something if his post-presidential life would up being that kind of post-service service? How’s that for a model? Who needs Harvard visiting chairs and high-end lectures? How about Crawford High? (Or wherever?) Reach out and touch the young before they are jaded, or break them of the cynicism pop culture and possibly their parents have passed down to them. Whatever you think of President Bush, he’s a likable guy in love with his country with some history and experience to share.”

Bush is the poster child for the dumbing down of America. We have lost the lead in education and Bush shows the World as our example. When he leaves office he will just be a drunk and druggie and his body will be eaten up by the alcohol and drugs. His brain is already fired and his body is falling away. Let's see if Americans can pick an educated President this time or will we settle for McCain who can't remember who he is half of the time. No wonder Bill Clinton is show respected around the world he's the last educated President we had in Office as President.
