I wish I could say I missed you- I haven't- but that 8 years of death, misery, ignorance and the occasional laugh at your clowning from 2001-2009 sure was...8 years, wasn't it? 8 fucking years.
Chimpy McCokespoon. I can't remember the last time I said those words. And, now, here you are on my TV, and all of the memories are returning like a backwash of sewage.
Let's see- what is my "fondest" memory of Chimpy and his associates at ChimpCo? Wow- how about when $8 billion dollars in duffel bags got dumped off a plane and just disappeared into Iraq, never to be seen again? That was a great one. Completely incompetent, but also absurd, so you could kind of laugh at it, if you didn't actually think about losing the money.
What about you guys? What are your "fondest" memories of that 8 years of pure hell?

Also, the time where he and the rest of ChimpCo forced Colin Powell to recite a bunch of lies in front of the whole world so that they could start a war? Then got angry at him because he was angry at them?

The Repukes loved and worshiped a dictator for 8 years...yeah I am talking about Cheney and not his stooge GWB.
