    The Departed. Consider Nicholson's Whitey Bulger as a Cheney-like stand-in for the warfare state, Matt Damon's charming psycho as W and Leo's undercover raver as America's moral core splitting apart at the seams.

    A Thanksgiving where half time at the superbowl featured Kid Rock 'Proud to be an American' and Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction. Ok, more a culmination that specifically Bush, but isn't Bush/Cheney just a culmination of Nixon/Reagan.

    Also at the risk of seeming "presentist" I'm going to have to go with the shoe-throwing video. Now, it's somewhat ridiculous that the thing got as much play as it did, but Bush's response is what makes it so indicative of his approach, i.e. - trying to rekindle the "lost years" when he was in college, charming the co-eds and frat brothers alike, and then taking that approach and applying it to the U.S. presidency. This isn't a comment on Bush per se, just on his overall persona, which is unmistakably laid-back, almost aloof.

    Well Bush presidency will be remembered for an America that invaded Iraq and torture of captured terrorists. Well he was a person who had it in him to lead the country at the troubled time.
    Your post is very much informative and educative. Lot of information available and a good job.
