The other day George W. Bush was being interviewed during his farewell “re-write history” media tour. He has devoted the last two months of his catastrophic term in office to a thinly veiled attempt to assign blame for all things wrong to others and to deny many of the disasters that occurred on his watch, such as his invasion of Iraq, completely. I guess you could sum it up as “The buck stops THERE!” tour.
A reporter asked him what his plans were for his future and he responded by saying he is open to suggestions. I have one! Despite the fact that he bankrupted every business he ever ran and was apparently the only person never able to find oil in Texas, I suggest he start a shoe store.
It seems impossible for him to ruin this opportunity since all he has to do to stock his store with massive and free inventory is to “rear his head” in public.
You may remember that Harry Truman was a haberdasher who famously said “The buck stops HERE!”
Since Truman sold hats, which fit on the highest part of the anatomy, the juxtaposition of a shoe being the exact opposite could not be more fitting!
