Time's Up

I was on a business trip in Cannes, France on Election Day this year and I was very careful not to let my political beliefs show -- too much. But I ate lunch with a lovely gentleman who was born in Mozambique and now lives in Geneva who was very negative when it came to Bush II. I mentioned that I thought much of what has happened since 2000 could have been avoided if Bush Senior had gotten his namesake a really good therapist to work out his father issues. I passed it off as a joke - though I was quite serious. Eric Alterman is even more blunt.
