Pathetic . . but oh, so characteristic of Dubya

Interviewed at the Hoover Institute (a conservative think-tank), George W. Bush was answering a question about his post-presidency and why he is keeping a low profile.
"Eight years was awesome, and I was famous and I was powerful. But I have no desire for fame and power anymore. . . . I thought long and hard about that and decided that not being on the stage was something I was comfortable with."
His statement reeks with what I scorn in the man:   an undeserved narcissism and entitlement -- and a complete unconcern for the serious issues and the harm his policies did

Add to that a tone of simple-mindedness --where you'd expect a bit of nuance and complexity, perhaps some irony, or maybe even a touch of self-deprecation -- he goes for the "golly-gee, aren't I important?" tone.   Like a little kid playing grown-up with a straight face.
