Is it enough that Bush will be leaving office in 3 days, not for another vacation, but for good? Is it enough that he probably can't help but feel like he's failed miserably once again in his life as he peruses over his disastrous presidency and the record low approval numbers that result? Is it enough that the millions of Barack Obama supporters who will be at the inauguration will most likely boo him when he comes up to make his final speech?
Perhaps to an ordinary person, this all seems like enough of a burn to what's left of Bush's ego, but not me. I would love to see him completely humiliated in front of the world. Boos are boos, anyone can do them, and they mean nothing more than a spontaneous expression of disapproval. After McCain's supporters booed during his concession speech, the whole significance of booing a president was cheapened.
So what should we do instead? Well, I know that when I was a youngster in school, when playing on teams in gym class, the winning team would often chide the losing team with a hearty round of the old classic song "Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam. Of course, the part they always sang was where it goes "Nanana na, nanana na, Hey hey hey, gooodbyyyyee" over and over again. Nothing could be more humiliating.
What better way would there be to express our joy as Americans that Bush has finally got to go, and what better way to embarrass and humiliate him, besides everyone throwing their shoes at him?
The best thing about this plan is that it only takes one person to start it. Its like the wave in a stadium: when it catches on, it spreads like wildfire. If you will be going to the Inauguration, whenever Bush comes on the stage to give his farewell address, start singing it with whoever you are with. You may be the person who starts what is projected to be 2 million people, all singing for joy at the end of this terrible president's term.
In case you don't know the tune, here's the old video.
Let's do this!
