A very angry Melissa McEwan rants about George W Bush appearing on Jay Leno.

While I thought "THIS WATER IS SO WET AND THIS SNOW IS SO COLD" was great, it was this paragraph quoting from her earlier work that caught my eye.

All jokes aside, when I write about how the Republicans are able to trade on "the gossamer promise of a return to a time that never happened in a country that never really existed," because this country reimagines its own history to make it something less horrible than it was, this it how it happens. This interview, in all seriousness, this little slice of pop culture fluff, is how begins the erasure of the authentic legacy of the Bush years, how we collectively start to willfully forget the history we are thus doomed to repeat.
