Most Evil Human Being In Known Universe Speaks, Sounds Semi-Sensible

by Smitty Bush hasn’t got a lot to say here, other than ‘grow the economy’, and ‘buy the new book’. #OccupyResoluteDesk ought to be thankful that W doesn’t come off the top rope with a vicious rhetorical body blow; but that’s just not W’s style.
