Eight years, they had. Eight years, bookended by wars and national tragedies and approval ratings of which George Washington could not boast. Two Supreme Court justices, both alike in loathesomeness, a Congress that bent over backwards and kissed its own ass for anything and everything the administration said it needed, I mean, Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson are sitting around in the afterlife going, "Dude, could you just imagine what we could have done with this sitch?" and John Adams, puffing on a cigar, is going, "Dude, I KNOW. Where was this deference to a brother's every whim when I could have used it?" They had everything. They had everything they told people they would need in order to run the world right. They had everything, and they pissed it away.

On 12 September 2001, "everybody was an American". Could you imagine what someone like Bill Clinton, or Al Gore, could have done with all that goodwill?
