Unfortunately, Bush is my president and Howard is my Prime Minister. So I’m doubly cursed.
I’m pretty sure ex-pres’s get secret service for life, but you are right, after having a small army for protection, he’s gonna fell nekid with only a small cadre of SS protecting his skinny butt.

Totally different topic–just heard Olbermann say he’s doing a special comment tonight.
Wow….he’s pissed. He actually said the “L” word. Lie.

The comment is available online now. Here’s the link
