You know...as much as I'm enjoying the last act of The Tragedy of George the Bush...I don't really have a lot of admiration for the people who started abusing him only after it became impossible to ignore just how his eight years in office added up.
(Not that some aren't still trying)
It took two wars, 9/11, Katrina, and the worst recession since the 1930s (just to name a few) for some people to realize how bad he was at his job.
A man who would become so hated that someone who throws a shoe at him becomes a hero.
A man who speaks of life with the blood of thousands on his hands; without shame
A man who should have been impeached; now one to whom we can't wait to say goodbye.
The people who impress me are the people who knew what he was early on. And who said so, loudly, when they ran the risk of being run over by the prideisbacktruck (and some of them were).
Think Progress has a list of more than two dozen people who did just that, and their names are worth remembering.
You can add your suggestions in the comments. I agree with the person who said Jessica Lynch should be among them.
